The Reviews are in! And the consensus (from the right) is that President Obama's hilarious routine at the White House Correspondent's Dinner proves at last that he is . . . . .
An Angry Black Man!
Via Nancy Le Tourneau at Horizons we learn from Byron York at The Examiner that:
there's no doubt that Obama, by incorporating comedian Keegan-Michael Key into his act, went public with the anger — specifically, the black anger — that has become part of the general conversation about Obama's time in office...
in his second term, Obama is finally free to air his resentments.
John Hindraker (not deterred by being victimized by the Harry Reid hoax) writes in a post titled: "Our mean-spirited President Cuts Loose:"
the President's line about Dick Cheney being the worst president of his lifetime "wasn't humor, it was political aggression."
Erick, son of Erick, weighs in:
If only President Obama weren’t black, maybe he would realize that people don’t dislike him because he is black, they dislike him because he is a self-absorbed ass.
To summarize,
Byron York sees the President using Key/Luther's "Anger Translator" as showing how angry he really is. (Irony is gasping for air just outside of The Examiner's Offices.)
Hindraker sees Obama's joking about Dick Cheney as the "worst President" as mean-spirited, but has no problem with Cheney's dead serious accusation about the President. (In this case, Irony is hiding inside Hindraker's head without him knowing it.)
And Erickson thinks Obama's race prevents him from realizing he's an "ass." Nothing racial about that at all.
Who said there are no funny right wing comedians?
