Wanda was ... good. Funniest joke was about Vice President Joe Biden. Seemed a little too friendly.
Obama was good too, but it all just seemed a little too sycophantic.

46. What was suppose to be a Media, White House , & good Humor event turned into a Angry Political Rally when former comedian turned political activist , Wanda Sykes , made very bitter remarks about radio host ,Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh stated that if Obama Policies are that of SOCIALISM then he wants those policies to Fail. White house Chief of Staff 'Rahm' express 'horror' at those remarks a few weeks ago and ,Now, Wanda Sykes suggested that Rush Limbaugh should be Tried for "TREASON"" and equated him as a Terrorist (this Clearly was not a joke but a suggestion). Wanda Sykes has a good and political relationship with Jane Fonda (according to Wanda herself) and is Now part of a Lefist Hollywood Coalition that has people like Michael Moore as a lecturer and this might be a reason for the remarks.

Hollywood and Media showed up for this event almost in Complete Attendance and Collective Obediance , it can be viewd as a Nationalization of Hollywood and Main Stream Media. Some others bloggers suggest that Hollywood or the Main Stream Media , should be named 'STATE RUN DNC HOLLYWOOD' or 'STATE RUN DNC MEDIA'.

47. Obama said Republican Abraham Lincoln understood that self-reliance was at the core of American life. BUT Obama said "Individual liberty is "served, not negated, by a recognition of the common good". The Common good of Collectivism as Obama stated a 'Collective Union' (which is Opposes Republican Lincoln ideal of individual liberty). It is Individual
Liberty that lead to the Ideology of freedom ,for All. The Democrats of Today seem to be engaged in the same Collectivism of before (From the Democrat Collectivism of slavery ,Jim Crow or George Wallace To Al Sharpton or D Durbin, Leahy or Democrat National Socialism , is still the Same Ideal.) An example of a Collective strategy is when one Leader suggest that ' A Negative Comment on him is a negative comment on all of Us (referring to a particular group, without reason).'.

49. Anon.....Grey Poupon IS DIJON MUSTARD!!!! Look on the bottle!!! SO again ,YOU ARE WRONG.( I have some in my refrigerator). No President has come out of office with a perfect record and so we will see when the media stops slobbering all over Obama...what his legacy will be. But,the media is getting big pay-offs to do this..so it will be along time. Rush admitted his problem and dealt with it. Millions of people have this problem and deal with it...but if they are Repbulicans they are druggies forever. Grow up and start to realize YOU are wrong on many things . I noticed when someone confronts you, you can't deal. Hope you wise up before it is too late for the country. You are soo intolerant of others.

50. I thought President Obama was fantastic! He has great writers on his team!

I thought Wanda Sykes was amazing and on the mark! She was tame last night... She could've hit the people she mentioned harder, but didn't.

Remember... Stephen Colbert and Craig Ferguson were previous presenters. The President does not choose them, the White House Correspondents Association puts together the ceremony and chooses the host.

Can't wait for Wanda Sykes new late night talk show... it's on FOX!

54. Justice Souter will be leaving his seat soon. Who wants to bet "O" will be filling his seat with someone who will passs the so-called Schwartzenegger Bill that allows foreign born nationals to become President. THEN he'll be releasing his ORIGINAL birth certificate.

55. I LOVED Wanda!!! She was hilarious and on point. Also, I thought the President was funny and I'm positive that he was cracking up inside at some of the jabs, but felt it best not to show his laughter because of all the uptight conservatives who would chew him up! But I bet he and Michelle really let it all out when they were alone. Go Wanda-I love you!

56. Anon, I lost a leg in the GD war. Were you there ??????????? NO ONE gives a rats ass about us and they are trying to take our benifits away. The media and YOU should go to a VA hospital. Walk the hallways and see what we have become. You miss the point sport. It is not her arms it is that the topic of conversation is about how toned she is. Allot os us have nothing to tone as it is in the damn battlefield. Question my logic. Suit up or shut up.

57. # 55 God bless you, and all vets. Shame on America for trying to take away your benefits. Your in my prayers.

58. #56 Thanks. I am 52. Special forces did not have to go but figured somone had to take care of some of the "Kids" that were there. Four days before my tour was up I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I paid for my own protheses as many have and are waitng for one,or more, I watch the insanity this country has embraced. We have 56,000 spinal cord injured Vets and the suicide rate is increasing every day as many have no where to go. I see some idiot like Wanda make fun of everything and everybody. She is not alone. We were going to end the war per obama. You fell for the bs folks. Now that Bush is gone our new LEADER is playing the same game. So who are you going to blame now ????????????

59.

OMG, Harvey and the rest of you at TMZ......................if you are going to attempt to use "big words," you may try looking up the correct spelling first!!!!!!

The correct spelling of the root word is "sycophant" so I'm guessing you meant to say sycophantic rather than sichophantic.

Posted at 6:47PM on May 10th 2009 by sichophantic???? LMAO

60. right, they're supposed to ROAST the pres at these things, and always have done so in the past. But wait, Obama is black, and so instead they roast anybody who opposes Obama. Typical reverse racism.
