That’s Not Funny
As predicted, the late night jokesters are beginning to pick up the elitist refrain:
"Of course, Obama’s supporters got him his usual birthday gift of gold, frankincense and myrrh." –Jay Leno
It seems like between this and “change” Leno, at least, is actually trying to poke fun at him:
"And Barack Obama now says he is open to offshore oil drilling. So, apparently, when he promised change, he was talking about his mind. I guess that’s what that was." –Jay Leno

Obama the Humorless
When I was studying History of Civilization back in college one of the things that I noticed was that leaders of times passed had interesting names. These names were not ones that they claimed (though one could make the argument that Charlemagne could have picked “Charles the Great”) because of the way the names sometimes made fun of the person they were given to.

Thou Shalt Not Question Barak Obama
This is the first time in my life that I can remember a politician getting the “Messiah” type treatment. Yes, I’ve lived through the Reagan sweep of 1984, but I’ve never witnessed what Sen. Obama is attempting to do, with good success.
He’s attempting to make anything that would be a negative for him to be off limits for discussion or even mention!
