The 6 Pack Economist

The blatant racism in political satire and comedy is just infuriating.  How dare they treat the countries first African American President like they are.  Does he not disserve the same treatment as all of our past presidents?

The disgusting treatment of our president by late-night TV or Stand-up comedians is dark spot on our republic.  Do we need another civil rights movement?

I have a dream that we as a nation will deride, poke fun at, and generally make fun of a president not based on the color of his skin, but on the “uhs, ums” and general missteps of his non-teleprompted speeches.

I have a dream that we will laugh at the fact our president has the same ability as the local news anchor at reading words on a screen.

I have a dream that youtube will have collections videos of every misstep, dumb remark, and otherwise embarrassing moments of our president all combined together for hours of fun.

I have a dream that the stress of watching people make fun of him on every late night show and stand -up comedy will turn his hair grey.

Does our first African American president not disserve to be treated equally?  We cannot rest till our presidents actions are scrutinized, taken out of context, and edited to make him look like any combination of the following; a buffoon, womanizer, liar, clumsy, naive and just generally stupid.  John Stewart’s Career depends on it.
