I haven't blog in loooong while, I know. There's so much going on in the background of my life that I couldn't find the time, and if I had the time, the mood, to blog here. So much water indeed has passed under the bridge, that history has been made while I wasn't blogging. It's not too late though to blog about the President-elect Barack Obama.
U.S. comedians are saying that they will miss George W. Bush, as Mr. Obama apparently is not as easy as Dubya to joke about. Dubya, a card-bearing anti-intellectual (like Sarah Palin???), has his trademark "Bushisms" that comedians earn a living on. Mr. Obama is the intellectual that the likes of Mr. Bush despises.
That may be so, but there's no limit to human creativity, comedians especially. See for yourselves what jokes I was able to gather from the Web on Obama:
"And people were worried about the Bradley effect. Apparently, it was not nearly as strong as the Bush effect." -Jay Leno
* * *
"According to recent news reports, Bill Clinton has now become an adviser to Barack Obama. Bill Clinton is giving advice to Barack Obama. Do you know who is really upset about this? Michelle Obama." -Jay Leno
* * *
"Last night, after Barack Obama was declared the winner, President Bush called Obama, promised to work with him to guarantee a smooth transition. Yeah. Yeah, when we heard this, Obama said, 'Thanks, but you've done enough.'" -Conan O'Brien
* * *
"People looking into Barack Obama's campaign contributions say that Obama may have received $3.3 million from abroad. Yeah. It turns out that broad is Oprah Winfrey." -Conan O'Brien
* * *
"With just 19 days left until the election, Barack Obama warned supporters today to guard against overconfidence. Then he boarded Air Force One, blasted 'We Are The Champions' and shouted 'I'm King of the World.'" -Amy Poehler
* * *
"After a quick meet-and-greet with King Abdullah, Obama was off to Israel, where he made a quick stop at the manger in Bethlehem where he was born." -Jon Stewart
* * *
"Barack Obama now says he is open to offshore oil drilling. So, apparently, when he promised change, he was talking about his mind." -Jay Leno
* * *
"A town in Upstate New York is being accused of being biased 'cause they sent out absentee ballots that say 'Barack Osama.' Today they apologized and printed new ballots that say 'Barack Hussein Osama.'" -Conan O'Brien
* * *
"After his big speech in North Carolina today, Senator Joe Biden said he was experiencing a sore throat and lost his voice. Boy, the good news doesn't stop for Barack Obama. Just one lucky break after another." -Jay Leno
* * *
"Barack Obama is now denying that he is email pals with the beautiful actress, Scarlett Johansson. Remember that story? They were saying that Scarlett Johansson and Barack Obama were emailing each other. He says no, it's not true. In fact his exact words were 'I did not have textual relations with that woman.'" -Jay Leno
