    I think he's having to much publicity stuff happening. He needs to stop appearing on every news channel possible and needs to start fixing America.

    "... my next 100 days will be so successful that I will complete them in 72 days. And on the 73rd day I will rest."

    Was he playing on the fact that some people view him as a God?

    Nonetheless, Barack killed it. Way to go.

    What is the point of all these jokes?

    Does everthing have to have some point or deeper meaning?
    Can't levity just be levity because it's fun?
    This was the best thing I've seen Obama do since he took office...
    It is a far cry from the embarrassing attempts at humor by Geaorge W...

    Why hate on the Obama for cracking some jokes and having a good time? It’s the white house roast for god sakes, not a state of the union address.

    I don't trust anyone who doesn't have a sense of humor.

    Yeah...after he leaves the White House in eight years time, he can always get a job hosting The Daily Show!

    While I understand that President Obama probably didn't write this set, (but if he did all the more power too him!)
    However I feel there is something to be said with how he presented himself. It flowed nicely. He obviously practiced, and as dumb as it sounds it means he took it seriously and cares.

    I think these are refreshing qualities for a leader to have.

    Also He has an infectious smile.

    The roast was the first time the President mentioned same sex marriage in Iowa.

    I'm serious: this man has a future as a comedian after his Presidency.

    I spit milk and cheerios out of my nose with the Dick Cheney joke.

    Wanda Sykes' Palin and Rush jokes silenced the room, but I was laughing my ass off here at home... LOL!!

    Loved it!

    On to another point, during this recession, the President plays a major role in uplifting the spirits of people and get them thinking positive again.

    It's part of his job and he's performed that task perfectly.

    "kills" um, it was funny, as in chuckle, chuckle, but that can definitely not be classified as "kills"
