Jib Jab Obama He’s Barack Obama Superhero Video

President Barack Obama is the main subject of a new superhero spoof released by Jib Jab. The political cartoonists often lampooned former President George W. Bush during his term. President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry starred in the political Jib Jab animation parody “This Land” spoofing their political campaigns.

This is so funny!!!

President Barack Obama knows a little something about catching flies — knowledge he says he’s using to help win over groups in solving the nation’s health care crisis.

“I’m pleased that in our quest to reform the health care system, I have gained the support of the American Medical Association,” Obama told the Radio and Television Correspondents’ Association dinner Friday night. “It proves true the old expression that it’s easier to catch flies with honey. And if honey doesn’t work, feel free to use an open palm and a swift, downward wrist motion.”

Featuring political and topical humor, the black-tie dinner at the Washington Convention Center was the group’s 65th annual gathering of journalists, politicians and their guests.

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama’s conversation with correspondent John Harwood. So Obama waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked the insect dead in one try.

Obama told the crowd he is working to repair the financial institutions and auto companies. “But you probably wouldn’t understand the concept of troubled industries,” he said, “working as you do in radio and television.”

But he said Friday’s dinner was far better than his appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner, a higher profile event that typically attracts Hollywood celebrities.

“Why hang out with celebrities when I can spend time with people who make me one?” Obama said.

The president also poked fun at himself and his acerbic chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, who was seen in photos on top of a camel during a trip to Egypt.

“I’m sure you’ve all seen the pictures of Rahm on that camel,” Obama said. “I admit, I was a little nervous about the whole situation. I said at the time, ‘This is a wild animal known to bite, kick and spit. And who knows what the camel could do?’” [source]
