<p style="text-align: justify;">Just when you think that the elites in the media, the beltway, and the government couldn&#8217;t get any lower they go ahead and ask Wanda Sykes to speak at the Correspondents&#8217; dinner in D.C.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wanda is most definitely an edgy comedian and she has always been a favorite of mine due to her comic delivery and her offensive remarks that seemed to be equal opportunity for all.  However, she never became too political in any of her routines and that is why I was such a huge fan in my early twenties.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, all of that has changed since the comedian came out of the closet this past year due to prop. 8 and Barack Obama.  She has continued to blast conservatives and republicans &#8211; for what reason, I don&#8217;t know, perhaps in in an effort to change their minds and be more accepting to the gay community?  Attacking an opinion, with a tirade or diatribe, does not change the hearts and minds of many.  In fact, the way in which conservative opinions are attacked appear to be more intolerant than the original qualm liberals seem to have with Republicans in the first place.  Unfortunately, the ignorant masses will never realize the double standards unless they truly do their homework and research politics, as well as the incidents that are conveniently forgotten by the MSM.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Usually this dinner is in much better taste, where the headliner/comedian only roasts the president or his/her administration.  This year was something entirely different and what made it ten times worse, in my opinion, was how much Barack Obama seemed to enjoy the slams against former VP candidates and their children, Rush Limbaugh, 9/11 , McCain&#8217;s wife, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The tired excuse of Obama being just too likable to roast is getting old and really dumb to any independent thinking individual.  At this point, between him and Biden, it would be incredibly easy to roast them.  SNL still won&#8217;t flat out make fun of Obama, when they have every opportunity to rather, they go after the safer of the two; Biden.  There is something inherently wrong with people, comedians, and the media who cannot seem to joke around about someone.  I would assume that people are too afraid of the repercussions if they did make fun of him and possibly getting called a racist.  Heaven forbid the left uses their obligatory race card AGAIN&#8230; Or perhaps they just happen to know that Obama doesn&#8217;t have a sense of humor to begin with.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Obama did alright last night, but now Hollywood wants to claim he is the next king of comedy&#8230; I personally thought Bush was much funnier and much better at self-deprecation.  I knew people who personally worked for Bush and said the same thing.  Obama is  not funny in his personal life or at work.  He tries to deliver jokes but is a beat or two off.  I give him a B for a valiant effort, but it still fell a little flat &#8211; just my opinion in regards to wit and humor.   (Different strokes for different folks)&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The most offensive comments of the evening came from none other than Wanda herself, regarding Rush Limbaugh and joking that he was the 20th hijacker involved with 9/11 but stayed home because he was too &#8220;hopped&#8221; up on Oxycontin to remember the plot.  She spoke about Rush wanting Obama to fail (because he wants his policies to fail), but rather than make a witty quip about how great Obama&#8217;s policies really are or about Rush&#8217;s radio show, she wished he would die of kidney failure.  She also made reference to Sarah Palin withdrawing last minute the day before the event and made reference to abstinence and Bristol Palin.  The most benign zinger of the evening regarding a republican was in reference to John McCain and his wife Cindy.  John McCain was apparently jealous of the helicopter that Obama gets to ride in and said that Cindy could just buy one for him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s usual for a comedian during a regular routine at some local bar to use the audience and make fun of them, but not at a formal event in which a true roast is supposed to take place.  It was low class and set a new low for the event.  I am even more disenchanted with all those involved and all who laughed and cheered, including the President himself, at the jokes which had to stoop low enough to bash an 18 year old and wished for the death of another human being.  I figure if Wanda wants to call a spade a spade and state that every addict should die then she should have included Biden&#8217;s daughter in on that joke and hoped that all the coke she snorted would make her heart fail&#8230; but it&#8217;s only &#8220;trendy&#8221; and &#8220;hip&#8221; to attack Conservatives when you are a liberal elitist or part of the establishment for that matter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I will never be able to understand how it is that liberals can justify anything that their party does, even when it is so over the line and uncalled for.  When/if a Republican reacts in such a demeaning fashion, I hope they are called on the carpet for it and held accountable IMMEDIATELY.  I have no problem admitting that a Republican is corrupt, mean, nasty, or unjustified in a remark that was made, but liberals lack the ability to do the same towards their own.  It&#8217;s called honesty and I hope that some liberals get a clue.  Sadly, though, it is becoming evident that liberals are so secularized that they do not not have any moral standards at all&#8230; pathetic really.  What&#8217;s worse is that Obama or somebody higher up had to approve this comic set first, and the more Obama laughed the more you realize how detached and emotionless he really is to things that should upset most normal individuals.  The same goes for the media elites.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Obama administration condemned the jokes aimed at 9/11 in a statement made by Robert Gibbs today.  What was left out of their denunciation of the Saturday night snobbery gala, was the actual statements calling for the death of an individual and the attack on a child as well as abstinence education.  Wanda Sykes may not have to worry about getting pregnant but young children should be taught the lessons and one of those lessons should be the only sure fire way to avoid it, and STDs, at all costs &#8211; abstinence.  I was afforded the lesson when I was in grade school and so should all children.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On a side note, with all the 9/11 mockery going on, namely the Air Force One flyover, the initial denial of the event, the condemning of the event, the firing of a White House aide, the jokes about the Obama daughters and the flyover and Obama&#8217;s giggling during the Wanda Sykes 20th hijacker segment &#8211; I tend to believe that this administration thinks terrorism and attacks on this country are a laughing matter&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One Big Ass Mistake America&#8230; Progressives are the antithesis of all that is good and moral in  this world.  They really have no standards at all.</p>
