Obama Jokes
Look, I can't resist. We've posted a few Obama Jokes already, in fact I think we've written something about Barack Obama five times in the past month. Between the 2008 US elections and all the national television spots running he's been on TV more than those annoying Subway commercials. Love or hate Barack, our readers love reading jokes [...]

- Thomas: All you have is sarcasm. You’ve added nothing to the discussion, you’ve only made insults without backing any of it up.
- The White Meat: Wow. I’m not going to bother responding to a paragraph that does nothing but call me dumb before ending with the line “So in conclusion, Jack, you must be black…”
- Ben: I’m actually quite familiar with the case for going to war in Iraq. What in particular are you referring to?
then tell me this :do u think we should have gone 2 iraq? and explain y if u dont
I do think that going to war in Iraq was a mistake. During the lead up to war, we were told that we had to fight because of Saddam Hussein’s supposed possession of weapons of mass destruction. There were of course no weapons of mass destruction to be found. Bush also went out of his way to try and link Saddam Hussein’s regime with Al Queda, when there was no such connection. Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein actually despised each other on a personal level.
Strip all that away and you have an oppressive regime that posed us no threat whatsoever. I realize that Saddam Hussein was a horrible dictator, but there are quite a lot of those in the world, and frankly we don’t have the resources to run around and kick them all out.
On the other hand, I do think that the benefits of success in Iraq will be huge. We have lost trillions of dollars and thousands of soldiers (not to mention hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians) but somehow I have hope that we may yet achieve the goal of having a stable, self-sufficient democracy in the heart of he middle east.
yes no weapons of mass destruction were found but wen we got there it was lucky we did saddam s sons were actually the leaders of a small terrorist group and had obtained several missles. when they were killed they were actually planning an attack. also the main reason we went over was cuz they would not submit 2 a open arms inspection by the UN so we thought they were hiding something
I think we went into Iraq because obviously our perpetual war machine needs wars in small and weak countries. We meddle, and our current stature has been in the middle east for decades. Did something in Iraq need to change? Definitely, UN sanctions were starving children and the food for oil program was making Saddam rich. So Iraq DID need help, but in my opinion we shouldn’t have been the ones to do it but then again I am just a firm believer that countries should mind their own business.
wat u dnt understame is it wasnt just the us it was all the upper un countries

wow thanks for saying nothing helpful
- You forget that Uday and Qusay were killed several months into the war. They were acting as part of the guerrilla war that ensued following invasion. Prior to the invasion the two were not a threat to anyone outside of Iraq. Horrible rapist sons of b!tches of course, but as I said the world is full of those and we can’t go kill them all.
- To be fair, Iraq only expelled weapons inspectors to begin with after it was revealed that some of the inspectors were spying for the US. It is worth noting that Iraq had agreed to new inspections during the run up to the war, and that we invaded before they could be completed.
- When you say that “it wasn’t just the US it was all the upper UN countries” what are you referring to?

It seems I am unable to post. Either I have triple posted and they will all show up soon or none of this going through…
k well it just showed up anyway we also went 2 war in iraq bcuz of the kuwait war
the upper UN countries are the richest and most powerful ones sort of like the G 20 summit
they still wouldnt submit to an open arms inspection and were capable of launching at the us and other countries
also wat most people dnt no is that the war has been over 4 a while now and we are rebuilding and helping them establish a gov. we have done things like this b4 in korea and vietnam but no one freaked out as much as this
Actually, WMDs have been found in Iraq. Over 500 chemical weapons have been recovered (search Foxnews, WashingtonPost, BBC News etc. do some research instead of regurgitaing bad information). Saddam did let a few UN Inspectors in however he destroyed many of his own stockpiles and never took them off the inventories so it looked like he was stashing them. He was intentionally missleading the world into thinking he had WMD because he was worried about Iran striking back at them and since the gulf war, Iraq was pretty much defenseless. As for Al Queda, he never cooperated with them, but he never forced them from the country either. He thought they were radical and dangerous, but he didn’t want to give them the time of day and make them think they were important. (All this information is from FBI Agent George Piro who did the 8 month interrogation of Saddam who personnaly came down and gave us a full brief of the interrogation. )
“k well it just showed up anyway we also went 2 war in iraq bcuz of the kuwait war”
- The current war in Iraq has nothing to do with the first Gulf War.
“the upper UN countries are the richest and most powerful ones sort of like the G 20 summit”
- I’m not asking what they are I’m asking what you are saying about them.
“they still wouldnt submit to an open arms inspection and were capable of launching at the us and other countries”
- They were being inspected and they were most certainly not in a position to threaten the United States militarily. The idea that Saddam would have attacked another country with chemical weapons is silly. He would have known that doing so would surely lead to his overthrow by outside forces.
“also wat most people dnt no is that the war has been over 4 a while now and we are rebuilding and helping them establish a gov. we have done things like this b4 in korea and vietnam but no one freaked out as much as this”
- While it is true that what’s happening in Iraq now is more an effort to create stability than a proper war, I don’t think that the situation is at all comparable to Korea. The key here is that Korea is peaceful and our troops aren’t dying there.
As for Vietnam, what are you talking about? I’m pretty sure people did actually get pretty ‘freaked out’ over Vietnam…
im talking about the vietnam and korean war it is almost the exact same situation
it was the upper UN countries that decided 2 invade
we first bcame suspicious of iraq during that war
“im talking about the vietnam and korean war it is almost the exact same situation”
The Vietnam and Korean wars were vastly different from each other, never mind Iraq.
“it was the upper UN countries that decided 2 invade”
- It was pretty much just us and Britain actually. No France, Russia, China, Germany, Japan (other than a brief visit from some non-combat troops), Canada, Italy, etc.
“we first bcame suspicious of iraq during that war”
- Them invading Kuwait during the first Bush administration was not an excuse to invade during the second.
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President. The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is a “post turtle.” Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a “post turtle” was. The old rancher said, “When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a “post turtle”. The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. “You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there.”
it is good
can anybody tell me y some comments r not shown? like my last one?
vietnam and korea were the exact same situation
they did not send troops but they sent weapons and supplies
no it was not a reason but it turned iraq against us even more
- Vietnam and Korea were entirely different situations. The Korean War lasted only three years. When it was over it was over, not like Iraq where we continued to lose troops for years. We have troops there, but they are not at risk of being blown up every time they pass a trash can on the sidewalk. Vietnam dragged on for more than a decade and in the end our side lost. The wars are similar in that they were both civil wars in Asia that we got involved in to stop the spread of communism. They played out very, very differently though.
- The idea that this was some sort of broad coalition is very silly. Some countries have sent weapons or medical supplies or a few troops here and there, but in terms of lives lost and money spent, it’s about 90% us, 9% Great Britain, 1% everybody else.
- Saddam Hussein may not have liked us, but he knew that to act against us would be to bring down his own regime. Iraq posed us no threat whatsoever. We might as well have invaded Paraguay.
ok first they were almost the exact same there was a north communist side and a noncommunist south side we aided the south and the USSR and china aided the north. the only difference was the outcome and we never lost we left the war after a truce was supposedly called then the fighting continued
it is always like that because we have the strongest military and are the richest country so we can do that without as much help and france has a small army, and russia was still recovering from communism
- When we left Vietnam we knew full well what was going to happen in our absence. The north was already swarming Saigon as our last helicopters took off.
- As I said, the goals of Korea and Vietnam were similar, but the wars played out very differently. One was short and successful, the other turned into a quagmire. You tried to compare them both to Iraq, which has very little in common with either.
- France and Russia did not fail to contribute troops because they were weak, they chose not to contribute because they thought the war was a dumb idea. History has shown them to have been correct in that assessment.
ill admit that we did probably think they would resume fighting, but we were never actually in the war so we didnt even care anymore we just decided to cut our losses and leave. and like i said we never really lost the war
u misunderstood me b4 i meant to say that they are the same becausethe pres sent troops over without the support of the gov.
russia has never contributed much when it came to UN affairs, then again neither did we, but france hasnt had a decent army since colonial times
you’re all stupid

- We were pretty heavily invested in Vietnam actually. I don’t think it’s fair to say that we were never in it. We committed hundreds of thousands of troops. We were there for more than a decade and lost nearly 60,000 men. We only pulled out after it became clear that the war did not have the support of the public. You are correct though, about it never being an officially declared war. In that respect it is similar to Iraq.
- Whether or not it is fair to say that we lost the war is a contentious topic. Militarily, we obliterated the Vietcong. The casualty ratio was roughly 40-1. In the end though, we couldn’t outlast them in their own country. Their leadership knew that and acted accordingly. When we left we knew exactly what we were doing.
- Also, I think you’re looking at it as North vs. South with each side receiving a bit of outside assistance. In reality, we were fighting the war for the South. In the absence of outside involvement of any kind the North would have won a decade earlier.
- We went to the UN and tried to get the approval of the Security Council before the Iraq War and we were utterly rejected. Out of the five permanent members of the Security Council only us and Britain supported the resolution. France, Russia, and China all said that they believed that military intervention in Iraq was not justified. As did every other nation temporarily on the council at that time with the exception of Spain. ***This is not a case of other countries not having the resources to help us. Most countries believed that we were acting in violation of international law.***

This is only relevant because you keep saying that France is weak when really it’s pretty strong.
Thank goodness for the greatness of America!! I, for one am proud to be a member of a country that doesn’t “mind our own business”, while tyrants and lunatics are oppressing, killing, and destroying. If America minded her own business, Europe would be called Germany, or maybe Soviet Union. Any war that results in millions of people retaining, or obtaining some degree of freedom is fantastic in my book. Should the biggest, richest kid on the block look out of his window as neighborhood bullies steal, cheat, rape, and murder his fellow human beings!! Liberals, and Obama himself want to tear down America, apologizing to the UN like we are the bad guy. We are successful because this country was founded under God! It is our responsibility to help countries less fortunate than ourselves, which we have done time and time again. Are we perfect? No, but we are the most benevolent, selfless superpower the world has ever known!! We can definitely improve, but America is great. We need to return to our core principles.
“Thank goodness for the greatness of America!! I, for one am proud to be a member of a country that doesn’t “mind our own business”, while tyrants and lunatics are oppressing, killing, and destroying.”
- We’ve never once taken military action purely to help people, there’s always been something in it for us. I’m not saying that’s the way it should be, just that that’s the way it is.
“If America minded her own business, Europe would be called Germany, or maybe Soviet Union.”
- I’m not arguing for isolationism. Clearly there are times when we have to get involved in world affairs, WWII being a great example. What I am saying is that it’s not our job to invade every single country whose leader we don’t like.
“Any war that results in millions of people retaining, or obtaining some degree of freedom is fantastic in my book.”
- What if this same war also results in hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties, thousands of dead US soldiers, and trillions in deficit spending? Also keep in mind that the Iraqi people don’t exactly see us as liberators. (Would a Frenchman who threw a shoe at Roosevelt in 1944 have been hailed as a national hero?)
“Should the biggest, richest kid on the block look out of his window as neighborhood bullies steal, cheat, rape, and murder his fellow human beings!!”
- We may be the biggest, richest kid on the block, but we are not big and rich enough to fight every bully at once by ourselves.
“Liberals, and Obama himself want to tear down America, apologizing to the UN like we are the bad guy.”
- This statement is baseless nonsense. Nobody involved wants to tear down America.
“We are successful because this country was founded under God!”
- What an absurd, ridiculous statement. To suggest that God favors us above any other nation is arrogant in the extreme. (Also, the last I checked this was not a theocracy. Anyone here can believe in any God(s) or no God at all.)
“It is our responsibility to help countries less fortunate than ourselves, which we have done time and time again. Are we perfect? No, but we are the most benevolent, selfless superpower the world has ever known!!”
- You are absolutely delusional. Helping those less fortunate than ourselves is a noble goal of course, but to suggest that our foreign policy is not guided 99.9% by self-interest is ridiculous. How many murderous dictators did we back during the Cold War because they were anticommunist?
“We can definitely improve, but America is great. We need to return to our core principles.”
- One of our founding principles was isolationism. Oh, the irony…
shawn ur an idiot some things i want 2 add
WWII we were going 2 stay isolated but thats hard when ur getting bombed by Japan which only happened cuz of isolation
who the hell says this country was founded under god, take a look at #1 on the bill of rights.
why do you think america has great foreign policy exactly?
to jack: your knowledge in the area of history, or historiology rather, is quite impressive. I admire your consideration and logic…
to all else: your ideas are valid nonetheless, however, if you truly wish to benevolenty advocate your motif, i suggest you balance your rhetoric by improving your ethos and logos and taming your pathos.
p.s. America’s origins are based on a web of contradictions; therefore it is not fair to try and defend its foundations. We can however analyze the nation’s most recent actions. I think you will agree that our most recent agendas have been impulsive and primitive in nature. Seek and destroy pretty much sums it up.
ure a stupid liberals. go f##k your selves!!
you are all pretty smart!!!
I have never understood the idea of “weapons of mass destruction” and whether or nota country has them. Of course they do. Remember folks, the WMD’s that were used on us were AIRPLANES used as bombs. You don’t have to have a nuclear bomb to cause mass destruction. Bin Laden proved that once and for all.
so r u saying a nuke is only as powerful as a plane
though i’ve only been alive for sixteen years, i have yet to conclude that mankind is evil….we are sometimes irrational and bestial at most, but i have faith in humanity. All of humanity. liberal and conservative. and the other 12 billion people that exist!!!
i dont like oboma
