Loved this... Rahm and his brothers are on Charlie Rose right now, and it's fantastic!

Man, I love Obama, but he just doesn't have what it takes to be a comedian. That
was pretty terrible.

He has that dry since of humour that I understand. Sometimes he doesn't pull it off because of timing but for the most part he makes me laugh.

Yes. I wanted to like it, but I feel like his delivery is just off. Some of the jokes were funny, but I don't think he sold it. However, being good at jokes isn't anywhere near my top 50 qualifications for good POTUS so it's no big deal.

Well, next time Cameron, maybe you ought to find a Republican to latch on to. They are all expert comedians.

The video isn't working. Does anybody know when or even if they will play this Roast on T.V again?

Anyone hear what Democracy Now were saying about this guy? They're painting him as quite far right pro-israel. Difficult to see how that can bring about any change.

What are you - the Tali-ban?
Next you'll be asking to watch out for making jokes at former First Ladies.

I wondered if that was an adlib - he's sure got a good poker face. The double entendre' was funnier than the original line.
