One of the best comedic performances in recent history!

This is honestly some of the best comedy I have seen. So funny. A giant roast of POTUS and others in the political arena. Leaving most of the stiffs in the crowd speechless. Best 21 minutes of my weekend.

Loved it too. Interesting to see a comedian making an audience look bad for not laughing.  The lack of imagination in that room is hilarious.

I'm sure it's just me... didn't think he was funny at all ...unless he was aiming to get nervous and awkward laughter.  He nailed that.

I liked Obamas comments better. Better material, better timing.

The comedian was surely not making any attempt to pander to that audience. That's the genius of it. He stood up there and gave it to them. Made them squirm and duck in their seats. That's one of the reasons I love stand up comedy - nothing is off the table and the audience is sometimes being played.

I got thast part and liked it. I just thought Obama might have a future in stand up. He's certainly done with his present career.
