Yuk-Yuk… Obama Joins in the Fun – Makes Fun of His Debate Performance

Barack Obama joked about his debate performance at his Hollywood fundraiser tonight.
The Politico reported

Now even President Obama is making fun of his Denver debate performance.

Speaking to a concert crowd at the Nokia Theater here, Obama said the musical acts that performed for his campaign – the likes of Katy Perry, Earth, Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder, among others – “just perform flawlessly, night after night.”

A beat passed. Then the president made himself the punch line.

“I can’t always say the same,” he said.

Obama followed the crack with his standard stump speech, touting the new 7.8 percent unemployment rate as the lowest during his presidency, while slamming Romney for his proposed tax cuts and plans to defund public broadcasting.

Later in the speech, while reminiscing about his 2008 campaign, he noted that he “goofed up” at times in that campaign, too.

Well, keep in mind voter fraud could never happen in America because we always have “Security” patrols stationed at polling places.

Yeah, we were all yukking it up watching the POTUS show us how inept, incompetent and tongue-tied he was at a debate with a fellow American. We were rolling on the floor with laughter thinking about him negotiating with foreign leaders. Yeah. Funny man.

every time I see a story like this and a picture of that face, I am haunted by Pelosi’s words a couple of weeks ago when she said, “There will never be a President Romney”.

Chilling.

Romney better win by enough of a margin to overcome any fraud or ‘surprise’ they have planned.

ps. I just love the media puppets who somehow think this is cool and funny. I suspect the 23 million Americans looking for work — while he’s out at some $10,000 a plate dinner — aren’t laughing.

GOP needs to do an ad on this and his infamous “not as shovel ready as we thought” moments of levity. Title of ad: WHO EXACTLY IS OUT OF TOUCH?

I’m sure Obama won’t be laughing when people start watching this video about his Foreign Policy.

Let’s make this video go viral. It’s a real eye opener.

I doubt Barry will be in a jocular mood when Paul Ryan trounces Biden in the VP debate. If Team Obama is pinning their hopes on Uncle Joe with saving the campaign…they are even more delusional than their boss.

…touting the new 7.8 percent unemployment rate as the lowest during his presidency,…

The only problem is that the country had to wait just a hair under four years for it. And even then, this “improvement” isn’t good enough.

But go ahead, people, vote for him again. I dare you.

Obama may be laughing about a lousy debate performance, but we are not laughing about a lousy presidential performance lasting a whole term.

“Just yuckin’ it up with the Hollywood 1%.” if the government used the tax dollars they get appropriately instead of lining their pockets and coming back to the trough for more……jay z and beyonce’s combined wealth is close to a billion and when they hand over 50% of it to we the people i might be impressed. we all do remember this….[Jay-Z is releasing a new line of T-shirts in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement Friday via his Rocawear clothing label, but he doesn't plan to share any of the profits with the protesters.] being down for the struggle but with someone else quarter.
