Political Humor

Check out this report of a speech Barack Obama gave in Nevada. He was having some fun at the expense of the Clintons and Edwards, and the audience loved it. Here is a sample:
Obama (mentioned) another Clinton answer in the debate, when she said that she is happy that the bankruptcy bill she voted for in 2001 never became law.

"She says, 'I voted for it but I was glad to see that it didn't pass.' What does that mean?" he asked, again drawing laughter from the crowd and himself. "No seriously, what does that mean? If you didn't want to see it passed, then you can vote against it! People don't say what they mean.

Read the whole article; I begin to understand why he appeals to the more educated, successful Democrats. This might actually be a Democrat whom I could listen to, albeit briefly, without hitting the mute button or wanting to throw something at the TV.
