Obama’s got milk: Audience groans at President’s terrible joke

Barack Obama's bad joke

In what was widely billed as the first salvo of Obama’s re-election campaign, his otherwise well-received State of the Union speech for 2012 featured this howler of a milk-themed joke. Showing all the wit of an embarrassing dad, the jibe evoked groans across the whole House of Representatives. Even the First Lady seemed unamused.

Obama demands to see 90 year-old’s long form birth certificate

To celebrate the 90th birthday of American actress, Betty White, NBC aired an evening of festivities including a playful video tribute from President Obama.

Launching an attack on Obama’s calls for tax rises for millionaires, Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly suggested he would quit the media if plans to fund a $447bn job creation programme were introduced.

Hillary Clinton’s motorcade

Hillary Clinton's motorcade

One of our spies snapped Hillary Clinton’s motorcade, including some five Jaguars and two Range Rovers, outside the Foreign Office earlier. Not bad for a mere Secretary of State. UPDATE: By way of comparison, thanks to @youflaminggalaa for sending us this picture of Obama’s entourage on his last trip to the UK. Know your place, [...]

When Obama met Osama

Barack Obama lookalike, Ananias Rodrigues da Silva, and Osama bin Laden lookalike, Francisco Helder Braga Fernandes, have decided to capitalise on the public mood by posing for a collection of rather amusing photos. Unfortunately, Fox News won’t get the joke, as they evidently cannot distinguish between the two.
