Since his inauguration in Jan. 2009 Obama had enjoyed three years of very, very friendly routines from all the late night comics on ABC, CBS, and Leno at NBC - there was no criticism at all.
But after data came to light that $100's of millions had been spent on First Family vacations during a recession, Mrs. Obama's unpopular new laws that changed food in America's schools and other negative news including the disastrous Obamacare rollout & website mess, Jay Leno took his comedy to a different level and his ratings skyrocketed - none of the other comics were so bold.
THESE ONE-LINERS MIGHT BE THE PRIMARY REASON NBC GOT RID OF THE FUNNIEST MAN ON LATE NIGHT TV
Of course NBC was on board when Jay Leno went after Republican George W. Bush every night for 8 years but they couldn't stomach the fact that Leno's jokes about Obama were always right on target about the first black president... And left-leaning Democrat executives at NBC were being harassed by Obama himself who thought the comedy was a racist attack on him.
GOLDEN OLDIES FROM JAY:
"I was going to start off tonight with an Obama joke, but I don't want to get audited by the IRS."
On NSA surveillance:
"We wanted a president who listens to all Americans - now we have one."
On a new IRS commissioner: "He's called 'acting commissioner' because he has to act like the scandal doesn't involve the White House."
On closing the Guantanamo prison for terrorists: "If he really wants to close it, turn it into a government-funded solar power company. The doors will be shut in a month."
Concerning the Benghazi, Associated Press, and IRS scandals:"Remember in the old days when President Obama's biggest embarrassment was Joe Biden?"
On Obama saying he didn't know about the IRS scandal: "He was too busy not knowing anything about Benghazi to not know anything about the IRS."
"The White House has a new slogan about Benghazi : Hope and change the subject."
"It's casual Friday, which means that at the White House, they're casually going through everybody's phone calls and records."
"It is not looking good for President Obama. Today his teleprompter took the fifth."
"Fox News has changed its slogan from 'Fair and Balanced' to 'See, I told you so!'"
On Obama's commencement address: "He told the young graduates their future is bright unless, of course, they want jobs."
On a Chicago man who set a record for riding a Ferris wheel: "The only other way to go around and around in a circle that many times is to read the official report on Benghazi."
On White House claims of ignorance on the scandals: "They took 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' out of the Pentagon and moved it into the White House."
"These White House scandals are not going away anytime soon. It's gotten so bad that People in Kenya are now saying he's 100 percent American."
On a new IRS commissioner: "He's called 'acting commissioner' because he has to act like the scandal doesn't involve the White House."
On closing the Guantanamo prison for terrorists: "If he really wants to close it, turn it into a government-funded solar power company. The doors will be shut in a month."

Can we have a Lincoln Or Kennedy Moment of silence Please....
ReplyDeleteWouldn't surprise me in the least bit. I can't wait for that civil war and I hope people remember who these traitors are.
ReplyDeleteBoycott NBC!!
Frankly, I never cared for Leno but I now have a new respect for him...
ReplyDelete"Fox News has changed its slogan from 'Fair and Balanced' to 'See, I told you so!'"
ReplyDeleteI like that.

ditto
Jay Leno was the best one out there since Johnny Carson. Wish Jay Leno would come back.
ReplyDeleteAnother example of the double standard. NBC didn't care at all if Leno joked about Bush every night. I never watch NBC CBS ABC or CNN. Only Fox for me, that is the only place you can find truth.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the civil war either! I am writing names of people on my bullets, so I kill them with it.
ReplyDeleteAt first all the one-liners are funny but when the reality of it all hits you, it's more sad than funny. The Main Stream Media has just become a useless propaganda machine of the left. Thank God there is still alternative media to find out what is actually going on.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt the story is true that Obama got the heads of NBC to dump Jay, who arguably is the best late night show emcee. Obama likes to make his rounds on the late night shows for his own political agenda, but acts angrily when he is the rightful butt of their jokes. That's why Letterman is still around because he is a liberal azz kisser.
ReplyDeleteI just love seeing him wearing racing goggles while driving some old car.He has really improved the collectible car market mentality.I have a huge collection of 1.

ReplyDeleteJay is a good guy but tended liberal across the years. Love the gearhead part of him!
Real guy; real skills and interests!
But seriously doubt he was bumped to please the WH.
Recall NBC tried to go younger before with Conan, and it flopped. They were still in a panic to chase a younger demographic and thought Fallon was the best of a lackluster breed so they inked him.
Since Jay departed if, and it's truly an if, I'm watching the news the set goes off or goes to DVD when the news ends.
Good luck with Jimmy's low brow pranks advertisers!

We all need to do that and it includes all Democrats. I would advise the so call good Democrats to change party's as soon as possible.
