The One thinks a joke is funny if it wishes someones kidneys to fail. Personally, I don't get it. It must be liberal hate thinking, that I'm just not into.

Quid pro quo--sorta. You do recall that Limbaugh said he hoped that Obama would fail (without any apparent consideration for the impact such a failure would have on a nation which had eight years of a bungling idiot and is now dealing with his messy aftermath). Limbaugh's comment wasn't said in jest, BTW, as was the case with the jibes at last night's event. Were you as critical of Limbaugh's comment?

Obama also skewered Rahm Emanuel's tendency to profanity.
<<"Tomorrow is Mother’s Day," the president said. "This is a tough holiday for Rahm . He’s not used to saying the word ‘day’ after ‘mother.’">>

Sykes took a dig at Obama too:
<< mused about her pride in Obama's being the country's first black president.
"That's unless you screw up," she said, turning to him from the podium. "And then it's going to be -- what's up with the half-white guy.">>

Were those jokes "liberal hate thinking" too?

She said she hopes Mr. Limbaughs's kidneys fail. To which the One laughed.

She then said Mr. Limbaugh needs a good water boarding. To which the One laughed yet again.

The video is very clear.
