Obama Killed it at the Correspondents' Dinner...Kimmel not so much

Obama was phenomenal at last night's WH correspondents' dinner. His jokes were funny, delivery was great...Jimmy Kimmel, on the other hand, started out strong with a few good jokes, and faded towards the middle, pretty disappointing for a comedian.

Yep, Obama is the man with jokes, slow jamming the news, and campaigning. I wish he was half as good at his actual job. Not that Romney gives me high hopes.

 

This is Obama's allure and why he beat Hillary in the primary. Unfortunately being mr. Personable doesn't mean being a good President. If he wasn't such a chill dude I bet he would have a 30% approval rating.

I wonder how Hillary would have been? She is a cunning b*tch. I'd probably hate her as much as mr. Chuckles, but I'd respect her more.

 
VontropnatsI haven't heard Obama described as a "chill dude", but come to think of it, I'd love to sit down and enjoy a Bud Light Platinum with him sometime.

I would love to do that with nearly all of our former presidents. George was a complete idiot, but I bet he'd be a decent guy to grab a drink with.

I get the impression that he and I wouldn't have a whole lot to talk about...
 

I guess he knows how to deliver it, but the props for the jokes should really go to the people who wrote them. So stop licking his ass people
