Is it Okay to Crack a Barack Obama Joke?
So a Democrat, a Republican and President Obama walk into a bar…
You might want to think twice before making President Obama the butt of a joke. That’s the message people are learning around the country. Consider the plight of three suburban New York police officers. They were suspended for postings they made on their personal Facebook pages.
One detective had the nerve to make watermelon and fried chicken jokes about President Obama — leading to his punishment.
The mayor of Los Alamitos, Calif. is resigning after he came under fire for sharing an e-mail picture depicting the White House lawn covered with watermelons. The title of the photo? “No Easter egg hunt this year.” Mayor Dean Grose apologized and said he was not aware that watermelons were a racist stereotype.
And then there’s the case of a New York baker who came under fire for whipping up a batch of cookies in honor of the president. He called the cookies “Drunken Negro Heads.” The baker said the cookies were meant as a tribute to the president and can’t understand why folks are all upset.
What was that guy thinking?
Back in the old days, folks would voice their objection by purchasing their muffins at another bakery. But in this new era of hope and change the baker is facing weekly marches, a boycott, and death threats. He also received a visit from the Secret Service — who wanted to ask him some questions. And a New York state lawmaker demanded the baker attend diversity and sensitivity classes.

BO is now president — he's in the limelight, no different than any public figure. Now that he's at the helm, he's just as much a target for cookies and watermelons as president bush was to whoopi Goldberg when she so insultingly said, waving her bottle of wine, pointing to her genitals: "We should keep Bush where he belongs, and not in the White House." If she could be so crude, that nasty towards a human being and fellow american, let alone the leader of our country, alluding our then president to human genetilia, tell me, what's the problem w/some pastry and fruit?
How much do you want to bet that SNL doesn't have one negative skit on Barack or Michelle?
You wonder how our Country has fallen so far off track…….I believe we as a nation have not become less intelligent, just uninformed. Media bias is the reason we as a nation, keep making idiotic decisions.
As far as Obama jokes……I think he looks just like Curious George…..Michelle, a chimp in high heels……but you won't ever see a skit on that?
This is a president who is un American and does not believe in our values, one of which is freedom of speech…..he is a racist…20 years in Rev. Wright's church..wake up people
