An Idea Worth Pursuit...
To start: It's hard to make fun of somebody you don't like; nobody can make fun of Obama; therefore nobody likes Obama.
This makes sense to me. In conversation, it's only when with friends in a jovial setting that the humor comes easily. A lot of that humor is making fun of those friends. Of course, jokes can be made of people not present --presidents, for example-- but the jokes have to have some lightness. You don't get much of a chuckle if the "joke" is only a vilification.
The best humor, certainly the easiest, is among friends about someone reasonably well liked.
Late night comedians, "among friends" --their audience-- can not make fun of Barack. That still argues that nobody likes him.
How about this: If you hate someone, it's hard to get a laugh unless your audience hates him as well. Well, late night comedians don't hate the Barack --they certainly had best not. There's rumor about that nuts have been threatened.
Or how about this, simply: To get a laugh you have to be on the same page as your audience. This observation I pronounce as true. Still, nobody can get a laugh about Obama.
That's incredible. The guys perfect material for mockery. Tiny face, big ears, as a starter. Huge ego, no accomplishment, as a follow. Constant gaffes, ignorance, flop-flipping, weird friends, "inartful" statements, an objectionable, foolish, overpaid virago of a wife... The guy is an absolute gold mine of the mockable...
Yet nobody cracks a joke.
Another idea: As the Emperor has no clothes, the Obambi has no humor. Could this be why there are no jokes, because one joke would indicate he has no clothes?
This makes a lot of sense to me. Once the jokes started they couldn't stop, because there's absolutely nothing about this guy that's not a joke. Get off the seriousness, move to mockery, and the floodgates open. The material is endless, and it would be a release. This business of having to pretend to take seriously a dope is hard on everyone.
So, I have solved the riddle: There are no jokes because, one joke cracked, the facade is cracked, and mockery pours through. It would be "the shot heard round the world." One wise crack would bring down the Messiah.
Interesting.
