you win, I'll spread this around as much as I can, all though I don't run with the "younger" crowd.
The older crowd is laughing too, but not in the inspiring way.

"They are our future", if this comedy is what inspires them, god help us all.

take care

The point was to appeal to a "younger" crowd... blueamy66 Mar 2014 #20

right. NM_Birder Mar 2014 #22

Is your issue primarily with the comedy or the ACA? CJCRANE Mar 2014 #25

Dignified comedy ? NM_Birder Mar 2014 #27

That was my point. Comedy is not dignified. But Obama's appearance on a comedy show is not unique. CJCRANE Mar 2014 #31

OK NM_Birder Mar 2014 #35

I never said it was funny. I didn't even watch it*. But my point stands. CJCRANE Mar 2014 #36

*the main clip ? NM_Birder Mar 2014 #43

You win, "dignified comedy" ............ NM_Birder Mar 2014 #30

No, I don't think comedy is dignified. That is my point. Nor is it unique for a president. nt CJCRANE Mar 2014 #33

Because others share different opinions about comedy LanternWaste Mar 2014 #59

I think you are having trouble justifing the BRILLIANCE NM_Birder Mar 2014 #49

why do you keep calling the ACA a mandate? Dyedinthewoolliberal Mar 2014 #76

The ACA is law, NM_Birder Mar 2014 #81

are you sure? Dyedinthewoolliberal Mar 2014 #83

Yeah, I'm sure NM_Birder Mar 2014 #85

it was beneath the president, what i said from the begining. NM_Birder Mar 2014 #23

You seem to have an issue with the ACA CJCRANE Mar 2014 #24

lol, ......... NM_Birder Mar 2014 #26

What does the mandate have to do with the comedy? CJCRANE Mar 2014 #28

It's a comedy clip encouraging people to sign up for healthcare. CJCRANE Mar 2014 #74

And guess what? It worked. A young neighbor woman Autumn Mar 2014 #75
