From Israel: The following joke is making the rounds in the Prime Minister’s Bureau these days: What do Americans do when something breaks down in their home – when the sink is blocked up, the toilet overflows, a fuse burns out?
Simple: They ask Barack Obama to give a speech and the problem is solved.
Marie Antoinette said, “Let them eat cake.â€
Barack Obama says, “Let them eat arugula.â€
From “The Late Show with David Letterman,” July 24, 2009:
Anybody see President Obama’s press conference last night on television about the health plan? Here’s the deal: it will cost a trillion dollars, but that will be in three easy payments of $330 billion a month, so it’s not that bad.
Obama Health Care reminds me of this old joke, slightly reworked for the New Era of Change:
The Pope, a boy scout, and Barack Obama are in an airplane. The pilot comes running back and tells them, “The plane is going down, and there are only 3 parachutes.” He takes one and jumps overboard. Obama says, “I’ve got the best brain in the world, and must be saved.” He grabs a chute and jumps. The Pope looks at the boy scout and says, “I’m an old man, but you have many years to live. You take the last chute.” The boy replies, “No, there are still 2 chutes. That guy with the great brain took my backpack instead of a parachute.”
What’s the problem with Barack Obama jokes?
His followers don’t think they’re funny and other people don’t think they’re jokes.
If I tell one of those jokes, am I going to get a scary e-mail from the White House??
The last joke is the best. The scariest, but still the best.
