Video of the Day

May 11, 2009 by Marc Lamont Hill

Today’s video of the day comes from the White House Correspondent’s dinner, where President Obama and Wanda Sykes held it down. I thought that Obama was uneven, but relatively funny for a President. Sykes, on the other hand, made me crack up as always. Thoughts?

This is funny. I agree Marc, the president was definitely uneven with his share of hits and misses but I swear I love watching Michelle laugh, I really dig her and Wanda was on point.

This is very interesting, because as much as people laughing, Alot of em know that those aren’t really jokes, but the truth smoothed over. Still in shock that Sarah Palin was even considered legitimate..atleast by some people…smh

i was in shock that wanda was chosen ’cause i really thought chris rock would’ve been the pick. but i’m glad the press coor board did choose her. and no matter what some blogs are saying about her performance being “over the top”, yadda yadda yadda, wanda was hee-larry-us.
