Starting almost two years before the actual election, this upcoming presidential election has seemed more like a joke with a painful punchline than anything else. Instead of quoting all the crazy, messed up things that certain candidates say that seem funny in the way that it’s hilarious to think someone who says those things is considered electable, I’m going to list some of the actually funny thing President Obama has said during his time in office. I mean of course I’m biased because I think Obama is awesome and would totally hangout with him any day of the week, but besides being a great president, he is a funny, charismatic guy. So here are some great Obama quotes! SNL, if you’re looking for writers maybe look at the Obama writing team.
“The History Channel is not here. I guess they were embarrassed about the whole Obama-is-a-devil thing. Of course, that never kept Fox News from showing up. They thought that comparison was not fair… to Satan.”
“Republicans fell in love with this thing [sequestering], and now they can’t stop talking about how much they hate it. It’s like we’re trapped in a Taylor Swift album.” (Just take amoment and imagine the Republicans in Congress in a Taylor Swift music video, and then remember congressional elections are also coming up in November!)
"Michele Bachmann predicted I would bring about the biblical end of days. Now that's big. ... Lincoln, Washington — they didn't do that." (A real trendsetter and wall breaker, not just first black President but also first president to bring about the apocalypse. Congrats Obama!)
"Apparently people really want to see a pot-smoking socialist in the White House. We could get a third Obama term after all."
“I’m also hard at work on plans for the Obama Library. And some have suggested that we put it in my birthplace, but I’d rather keep it in the United States.”
"I’ve got to stay focused on my job, because for many Americans, this is still a time of deep uncertainty. For example, I have one friend, just a few weeks ago, she was making millions of dollars a year and she’s now living out of a van in Iowa."
"I have something that rhymes with bucket list."
"Immigration executive action? "Bucket!" he deadpanned. Stricter climate rules. "Bucket!
“I have no more elections left to run. I know because I won both of them.”
Thanks Obama! You are leaving big clown shoes to fill. So remember in 2016 when you are voting for our next president to make sure what they say is smart, witty, and funny when they want it to be, Instead of that cringe funny where you want to run and hide, or say move to Canada. Also remember that you aren't just choosing who will be the leader of the free world; you are also choosing the focus of many memes and jokes. Think wisely my friends.
