Did this comedian go over the line or are Barack and Michelle Obama fair targets for comedic exercise?

I think its allright that he said what he said this is a free speech country last time i checked but because she's the first lady and happens too be (BLACK)he's outta line I think not if the joke was about the former first lady it would have been funny too everyone. People can't joke about the presiden't now or his first MATE! she is kinda MAN LOOKING!

It's not a bad thing to make relevant jokes about public figures, ourselves or others; that's what makes them funny. Meanwhile, we should see the difference between a joke for fun and a statement for hate. Like the recent ad in the alabama newspaper that promoted the concept of Obama being assasinated like previous presidents. That's just plain scary!

Double standard plain and simple. Do we want equality or do we want special treatment for some? Every 1st lady in modern history has taken their share of licks. The Queen in England takes her licks. Just because they are black does not make every joke about them racist.

Get over it people ,comedians have been making fun of politicians and families for years.Just because the current administration is black does not give them a free pass from this part of the experience.It is a time honored tradition for comics to make fun of the first family,so learn to laugh about as best you can.

Since there has been comedians there has always been jokes about the president or the presidents wife. So do i like what was said no. But lets be realisitic there are going to be jokes. Some are going to be funny, others are not going to be funny, and some are going to be hurtful. Its called FREEDOM OF SPEECH. No one is dead feelings may be hurt but NO ONE IS DEAD. Let's move on.
