4 More Barack Obama Jokes

Because of the great interest people have shown in my original "3 New Barack Obama Jokes" entry, I have decided to release 4 new, original Obama jokes. Enjoy!

Joke 1

REPORTER: Before your election to public office, you were a lawyer. Is one more lawyer really what Washington needs?

OBAMA: It depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.

Joke 2

Waiting backstage before a Presidential debate, Barack Obama and John McCain shared some candid thoughts with each other.

"You know," said McCain, "the reporters have been pretty hard on us. In fact, they've been critical of all politicians -- treating us as if we are a bunch of crooks." He paused and shook his head sadly. "Despite all the cynicism, though, there IS a way to be an honest politician."

"What way is that?" asked Obama.

"Hmmph," said McCain, "well, of course YOU wouldn't know."

Joke 3

At a campaign stop, a voter questioned candidate Obama.

"I'm poor and unemployed, with no formal education," he said. "What will happen to me if you are elected?"

"If I am elected," said Obama, "you will receive the formal education you deserve, free of charge. The government will make sure you have a job if you want one. But even if you choose not to work, you will receive a comfortable income and all the luxuries that the rich enjoy."

The voter thought for a moment. "I want super powers, too."

"You've got it."

Joke 4

REPORTER: Senator Obama, you have repeatedly said you will "keep the American Dream alive" for those Americans who live in poverty. What specific measures will you take to achieve that goal?

OBAMA: If elected, I will improve poor people's access to jobs.

REPORTER: How will you do that?

OBAMA: By building infrastructure to aid the poor in their search for full employment.

REPORTER: How?

OBAMA: Through public transportation initiatives.

REPORTER: Are you telling me that your solution to poverty is to provide buses to the poor?

OBAMA: Yes, but not expensive buses -- we don't have the budget for that. We'll use school buses during their off-hours. Seriously, what are those bus drivers doing while the kids are in school?
