For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: liberal TV comics are finally starting to make fun of Obama.
Most presidents become a joke at some point. It's a matter of when and how. Both points should concern this president. In Winston Churchill's words, "a joke is a very serious thing." Or it can be, when the joke is about a very serious thing...
Political satire matters when it is larger than the joke. The growing rap on Obama is that he is a man both ineffective and meek; a man who is loved by all and feared by none.
Is Obama becoming a joke, even among his own rank and file?
