		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve seen one joke about Obama on The Colbert Report.  Before Colbert came to his funny punchline (Obama sitting down with a meteorite about to hit earth without preconditions), his fascist anti-whitey liberal Roman-coleseum-like crazed audience, who laugh &amp; mock at conservatives all the time, started booing him. Nearly all comedians still go after McCain, Bush, Palin, Cheney, etc., but their jokes are no longer that funny since these people are leaving or lost elections. Even Jay Leno admitted it will be rough when Bush leaves.  These are all signs we are entering a liberal fascist police-state-like morally defunct nation with a leader gaining dictatorial powers in a fully democratic Pelosi-Reid-Frank-Schumer-Kucinich Congress without any accountability. Satan/Lucifer is laughing 24/7 though.

		<description><![CDATA[These comics are afraid, that&#039;s all there is to it. They are liberals, and they dont want to lose audiences they built on pandering to others like them.
All of this &quot;we cant find anything funny&quot; is a cop out. They found humor in 9-11 pretty darn quick, and W didnt get some pass after 2000 or 2004.
However, now they are tongue-tied? You are witnessing perhaps the greatest effort on the part of an industry to self-censor themselves in an effort to protect a politician from mockery in modern history. Right now, they have some breathing room, but soon it will become apparent to people watching their programs that they are doing it on purpose, not out of some lack of material.
This is fine and dandy to Obama supporters whom, as you have seen in some of the comments here, already are frowning on anyone that mocks their guy as being racist or unfair, but this type of protection racket always wears thin with the American public at some point, and they will start to turn on these guys.
