Last December, we had some amusing humor about Obama’s infamous “selfie” at Nelson Mandela’s funeral.
Now we have something far more biting.
Mad magazine has some good satire on the President’s deal with the Taliban.
I’m not competent to discuss the foreign policy angle, or whether Obama’s done the right thing or wrong thing.
But I do appreciate low-blow political humor.
Speaking of which, here’s a Back to the Future parody.
There’s no policy angle, which is what I generally prefer.
But it’s always good to hold politicians of all parties in low esteem.
P.S. If you want more Obama humor, check out this t-shirt, this Pennsylvania joke, this Reagan-Obama comparison, this Wyoming joke, this Bush-Obama comparison, this video satire, and this bumper sticker.

“Taliban Rising”
June 6, 2014 by Arnold Ahlert :
“While Obama administration officials and their media allies are furiously attempting to spin the swap of U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl for five high-level Taliban terrorists in their favor, the other side of the equation is weighing in as well. Taliban leaders are expressing jubilation over the trade, hailing it as a major recognition of their status and boon to their cause.”

MINIMUM RAGE? Minimum wage at what cost? A very good question and article in Times-News. Remember $5.00? Then $7.25? Now proposing $10.00. Clinton increase from $5.00 to $7.25 was 49% and $10.00 from $7.25 will be 39%. The Clinton increase released billions of purchasing power into the economy. $10.00 will put Minimum even with at $20,000 per year or near Poverty top of $21,000. Just imagine the billions of spending for products that will force manufacturers to expand to keep up with it in manufacturing and retail. No doubt some jobs will be lost but minor to the creation of jobs like Clintonâs 237,000 per month or historic record. Remember the 1980 signs âHelp Wanted at above the minimum wageâ. We may get millions out of the poverty range into middle class wages. Clarence Swinney-Burlington, N.C.
the entire bergdhal affair was an attempt to boost president Obama’s approval ratings and deflect media attention away from the VA scandal… it was ill conceived… and illegal… but the most disgusting part of this… is the fact that five enemy combatants are making their way back to the battlefields of Afghanistan… with the intent of killing Americans… and the same idiot who cooked up sgt. bergdhal’s release… and the release of 5 terrorist killers… is now likely with president Obama in Europe… advising him on how to deal with president Putin and the situation in Ukraine…
dangerous indeed…
Obama’s recent trade of 5 hall-of-famers for a single A player reminded me of recent work by behavior economists.
It is obvious that a rational person will decline a 50/50 bet on winning $200,000 vs losing $100,000; because the 50% chance of loss would be ruinous.
On the other hand, a derivative trader already facing a loss of $1,000,000 might accept a 50/50 bet on breaking even or owing $5,000,000. The desire to get out of a hole takes over from any rational calculation, since the downside is only a bigger hole.
Obama is in a huge hole and willing to try anything to get out. Because rational calculation is no longer part of the decision making process, he is dangerous.
