I guess if he had not had the ability to laughter about himself - and to come with puns - who hit his opponents harder than they are able to hit him - he would be dead by now - and yeah - that ability to make some fun out of it - must drive his opponents crazy of madness - just think about it - he is able to make fun about them - without loosing his cool - I would have swear-ed them up and down - as a berserker if I had ben the US president. I have a more nag for revenge than it looks like President Obama have.... And as the most mighty man alive I would have some resources to make sure I got my revenge too...


Just to be able to sit down and speak with him - would have been a great time - even if my spoken english is not as good as my written english (not that it says to Mitch) but to have been able to speak with him for a while - maybe getting a few laughter with him - that would have been amazing to put it gentle... And I guess I would have getting more out of it than he did

And I also doesn't know why republicans tend to not want to talk with him - but then again Republicans, and conservatives are not that good in humor - and have some fun - in the old world - under WW2 people could make some great fun about the nazis - and it flew over their head - some of them even was laughing with them - if they understood it - or not... In 1943, in front of a large audience of SS leaders - with Heinrich Himmler in front - one of Berlins best artist ants managed to hit the nazis hard when the light got out - because of a bombing raid over Berlin.. And everyone had a great time - and even Himmler gratulated the person who made some solid jokes about the bombing for a great perfomance.... They just doesn't got what he said.... He was out on a limp - but managed to survive it all - and even survived the war - and was a star on the Berlin theater scene for decades after WW2
