Sykes vs Obama

Obama part 1
Obama part 2

Sykes part 1
Sykes part 2

And Obama wins. Sykes had some great one jokes but Obama killed. Too bad he can't host SNL.

Best joke of the night had to go to Sykes, for her Palin/stimulus/abstinence zinger and her calling Rush Limbaugh the 20th hijacker on 9/11 was the kind of edgy that Washington needs to hear. That town is so enamored with Republicans even as the rest of the country looks in disgust or apathy.

"I could break Sean Hannity just by putting him in a middle seat in coach." lol. She killed. I haven't listened to Obama yet but heard his zinger about he and Boehner both being "people of color." lol

I found Obama's jokes to be a lot better, in both writing and delivery. Of course, he's only responsible for the second half of that, but still.

I just watched Obama. He was really funny too. His jokes were more insidery than Wanda's, but that "Rush Limbaugh is not a troubled asset" = brilliant!

Obama kills. No matter what you think of his politics, you gotta admit this guy can be absolutely amazing.

I don't think Obama saying 'Wassup' will ever not be funny.

That was pretty good. Obama was far better than Sykes. She had some funny jokes, but just seemed awkward, while his delivery was spot on.

The teleprompter joke was great, as was the jokes about his next 100 Days.
