It sucks to be Wanda Sykes right now. All that kissing up she did to the Obama’s at that White House Correspondence dinner was all for naught. Critics on the Right are howling over Sykes’ unfunny jokes about conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh during the dinner.
After laughing their butts off at Sykes’ jokes at the dinner, the Obama administration has now gone into full damage control mode, effectively distancing Obama from Sykes.
Thus, Sykes becomes the latest unsuspecting victim to get run over by Obama’s political wheels of No Change. I can’t stop laughingggg!
In his daily briefing Monday, Robert Gibbs distanced the president from comedian Wanda Sykes’ joke comparing Rush Limbaugh to a 9/11 hijacker at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
“I don’t know how the guests get booked,” Gibbs said, adding that he hadn’t “talked specifically” with [President Barack] Obama about Sykes’ crack. ??”I think there are a lot of topics that are better left for serious reflection rather than comedy. I think there’s no doubt 9/11 is part of that,” Gibbs continued.
At the correspondents’ dinner, which Obama attended Saturday, Sykes blasted Limbaugh for saying he hoped Obama’s administration would fail, joking: “I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight.”
Some of you may recall that Barack Obama also distanced himself from beloved comedian Bernie Mac. So much for Obama having a backbone and standing up for his people.
By the way Wanda, would you like ice to go with your Kool Aid beverage?
Gibbs would be correct the Correspondents Assoc. BOOKS THE TALENT not the White House.
Oh can somebody tell me where the bus is so I can PUSH Sandra in front of it..lol *just jokes*

“By the way Wanda, would you like ice to go with your Kool Aid beverage?”

Stop Swangin ’09
So where exactly in those three paragraph’s did President Obama throw Wanda under the bus? Reading Comprehension is fundamental…
No the Roast was not for Rush but Wanda is a comedian. I guess it’s ok for Rush to say that he hopes the President fails and all the other things that keeps him hosting his own show.
Please tell me how the subject goes with this post? I thought there was a statement from the POTUS denouncing what Wanda said or something. See ya
1. The jokes were funny. 2. Rush is a pill popping drug addict.
You sure your first name ain’t Hater?
Obama, Beyonce, Usher, Diddy, Halle & Ciara what do they have in common? Sandra hates them! She finds every chance she can to spit hate on these individuals it’s actually makes me laugh because I ask myself ok who is it gonna be today, so when I clicked on and saw Obama I’m like so predictable.
I know your formula throw a considerable amouont of hate to the celebrities or political leaders that black folks love then viola you got traffic to your site!!! Gotta love it!!!!
Lisa you are so right. The other thing that brings people here so much is the comments. They are(usually) thoughtful, perspectives and lots of discussion.

AMEN!!!
Hello All. Wanda was funny. It was a roast, get over it. But for me, she went a tad too far when she wished Rush’s kidneys would fail. She might just turn around and suffer it herself. The tongue, like the pen, can be a mighty sword cutting both ways. Peace.
lmao@wanda, you go girl….
the republican are so mad.they act like jealous un popular kids who who didnt get invited to the school dance. the president hasnt said anything about wanda sikes, but i want to know where is it written nobody can say anything bad about fat azz drug induced rush limbaugh.
All the junk Rush talks ???? please im glad she said it, Rush needs to sit his fat behind down somewhere, rush talks mad ish
i guess 9/11 is like Houlcoust…….jokes associated with it will be socially acceptable
There are just some things that we should not joke about. 9/11 and child molestration are two things that come to mind.
will not i mean…..@ 16
LOL I love how people are bending backwards to come to Rushs’ defense. Fuck Rush Limbaugh and I hope his kidney gives out due to all the Oxycontin he takes. If anyone needs a ride in a hearse it’s him.
As many hateful, cruel, racist things that asshole has said…PUH LEASE!
..!.. sip ..sip … Stop Swangin ‘09
NEXT!
