comedians have been nervous that with Bush leaving the white house they were going to have to work harder to find material. All they have to do was listen to one of his speeches and they would have enough material to fill a half hour show.

Well two days ago a bright light appeared on the horizon... Barack Obama may be their new go to guy for material. In a speech he declared that 10,000 were killed in a tornado and also appeared to blame it on the low national guard numbers. However the true death toll was... 12.

Comedians are trying not to get their hopes up, but Obama does have the big ears going for him already.

Obama meant to say "at least 10". But what does that matter, right?

That wouldn't be near as funny for Leno.

I don't expect much from either party, but expect better from comedians.

Most certainly not. Not when it comes to joke fodder anyway.

There are comedians in the US that should write Bill Clinton a royalty check for all the material he gave them for 8 years.

Comedians have ripped apart ALL of the recent presidents. And rightfully so IMO.

Obama is one of the best speakers this country has had in a long time. That doesn't mean he'll be worth a d@mn as a president, but at least he won't be painful to listen to.

Obama's got big shoes to fill.

It's like we elected Kelly Bundy to the presidency.
