On several occasions we’ve noted Obama’s propensity to laugh at inappropriateness. During the White House Correspondents Dinner the other night, he did it again.

“What was Wanda Sykes thinking? Perhaps more to the point, what was President Barack Obama thinking when he laughed and smiled as the comedienne wished Rush Limbaugh dead?

Although the Left is reporting her White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech as “taking shots” at Limbaugh and mocking everyone, that’s a gross misrepresentation of what turned into a hateful and disgusting diatribe.

I was at the dinner and I began by laughing at Sykes’s gentle teases about the press loving Obama so much they never capture him on film smoking but often seem to get him on the beach.

It was amusing when she quipped that Obama trying so hard to be all things to all men that the next thing is he’ll be seen mowing the White House lawn.

But the speech took a very ugly turn when she laid into Limbaugh.

This is what she said: “Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails, so you’re saying, ‘I hope America fails’, you’re, like, ‘I dont care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq’. He just wants the country to fail. To me, that’s treason.

“He’s not saying anything differently than what Osama bin Laden is saying. You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight.”

She then concluded: “Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that’s what he needs.” Obama seemed to think this bit was pretty hilarious, grinning and chuckling and turning to share the “joke” with the person sitting on his right.”

Here’s the proof.

We shouldn’t be shocked though. THIS is the left in this country, and Obama is the poster kid for their efforts. Either he was laughing because he thought he had to to be polite, or he did so because the President of the United States believes every word of this vile woman.

We’ve seen this before, with the Paul Wellstone funeral, and through countless examples of the liberal media. Notably it was that Wellstone’s funeral that cost Democrats dearly in the 2002 election.

Bad news for them, no doubt Limbaugh will play excerpts from the diatribe today on his show where millions of Americans will hear it again for themselves, and wonder, just what was Obama finding so funny about wish the death of one of his citizens.
