A Great Joke Bears Repeating (Once Again)
This morning at the Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders were asking Charles Foster Kane about the latest Obama jokes, and Beloved Whistleblower Publisher recalled when then-Republican Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz ushered in 2016 with a scathing monologue ridiculing Obama and Hillary.
“2016 is going to be an incredible year,” the Texas senator proclaimed.
“2016 is going to be the last year of the Obama presidency.”
“2016 is going to be the last year before Hillary retires permanently to Chappaqua.”
“2016 is going to be the last year that we have Obamacare.”
“2016 is going to be the last year until we abolish the IRS.”
“And 2016 is going to be the last year until we utterly destroy ISIS and defeat radical Islamic terrorism. Like 1980, 2016 is going to be a very, very good year.”
Then the presidential candidate, who had gained traction in recent weeks, ended his New Year’s Eve message by telling a story he said he’d “heard on the trail.”
One sunny day in January, 2017, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he’d been sitting on a park bench.
“I want to finish with just a simple story a story that I’ve heard on trail. The date is January 20, 2017 and a little old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he’d been sitting on a park bench.
The Old Man walks up to the Marine guarding the front gate of the White House and says, “Excuse me sir, is Barack Obama here?
The Marine says, “No, I’m sorry, Barack Obama is no longer President of the United States.”
The next day on January 21, 2017, the same little old man walks up to the same marine and says, “Excuse me, is Barack Obama here,” and the Marine sighs, a little bit frustrated, says, “No, Barack Obama is no longer president of the United States.”
The next day on January 22, 2017, the same little old man walks up to the same marine and says, “Excuse me, is Barack Obama here,”
And this time, the Marine is visibly frustrated and says, “Sir, I’ve told you three days in a row, Barack Obama is no longer Present of the United States,” the little old man smiles, and with a twinkle in his eye, says, “I know that, I just love hearing you say it,” and the Marine promptly salutes and says, “See you tomorrow, Sir.”
“2016 is going to be a very, very good year?”
That transcript doesn’t do that joke justice. You really need to hear it again.

Now The Blower wonders when Sean Hannity will resurrect this joke again, for a little mean-spirited right-wing fun. Speaking of resurrecting old jokes, Our Good Friend Bobby Leach just e-mailed us these:
Q: What do Abe Lincoln, JFK, Martin Luther King Jr. and Obama have in common?
A: Nothing, yet!
Q: What’s the difference between Sarah Palin naked and Michelle Obama naked?
A: Playboy and National Geographic!
