Seriously - How good a stand-up is Barack Obama?
From my perspective, his entire presidency has been a big joke.

He's not bad at all, thoughthat's mostly down to his gag writer and whoever coached him.
It's definitely not a natural performance, you can see he's practised it so hard he's telegraphing his punchlines.
I do like the line about praying 5 times a day.

So a typical Politician then. He should go far.
Thanks for the comments so far.
They are a good read.
I am hoping there will be more.

The president appears a bit lost without his teleprompter:
Better that way round than being stand-up first . . . though the brits at one time thought Billy Connolly would make the best prime minister!
