Hound, as I read the post he was mostly pointing out the double standard regarding Obama versus Bush. There is no doubt in my mind that the airwaves would be filled with left wing nuts decrying his insensitivity if W had told that joke.

As for me I actually think the joke is pretty funny and don't really care about the President using Predator drones to whack the bad guys. I am all for it and am all for him using it in a joke. I do worry that this will only incite further hatred of America by Muslims worldwide as most of the targets of the drones are Muslim terrorists or insurgents. OK, I'm kidding about that last part.......kill them all and let God sort them out....and I obviously only mean the Islamofascists, not Muslims in general.

What is more interesting to me is the fact that almost every President I have ever heard at this dinner tells most of their jokes at their own expense. Both Clinton and W were very good at self deprecating humor. Most of Obama's jokes are at someone else's expense which is just not as funny and provides some insight into the Daily Show writer's perspective. There are tons of jokes Obama could have told on himself. Heck, even Joe Biden was funny with his teleprompter joke.
