It’s no secret President Barack Obama has a slew of entertainment industry admirers, but comedian Cedric the Entertainer’s answer during a CNN interview Friday offered a telling insight into just how far the devotion of some in the business might go.
Asked whether he had any advice for colleague Jimmy Kimmel as he prepares for his White House Correspondents’ Dinner hosting gig this weekend, the comedian responded that since it’s “an election year” you want to be sure not to “kill the president.”
“The main thing is to prepared, it’s really kinda getting an idea of who else is going to be in the room….For this situation you’re in, you know, approaching an election year so you don’t want to really kinda kill the president, you want to have a lot of fun up there and of course, Barack Obama, he‘s kinda cool so it’s really hard to do like a lot of jokes on him,” he said.

Report Post »Is Cedric still hosting that game show called “It’s Worth What”?
I watched a few episodes of it when it first debuted, but couldn’t stomach it with him hosting.
He’s just not friendly enough, funny enough, or polite enough, to be a game show host. He comes across as a gangsta street thug.

Report Post »Hey Cedric, for over three years, Obama the first Black President, has been off limits.
The media and comedians have not been allowed to make fun of Obama’s incompetence, or point out his many flaws and failures.
It’s time to take off the gloves and expose Obama for the fraud, hypocrite, and idiot, that he truly is.

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 5:21pmNo, he’s not funny! This self centered, thin skinned, least qualified President in our history is no way funny. Can you imagine the jokes that the leftist “comedians” would be telling if a Republican had said he was going to lower the seas, or had said, “we’re the one we’ve been waiting for.” No, there is simply no jokes there to tell for the likes of cedrick, the “entertainer”, jon leibowitz, steve colbert, on and on.

How about Air Force One tours over New York for his terrorist friends? How about the Beer Summit where, as usual, nothing happens? How about a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing? How about a dip in the Gulf Of Mexico and a fast retreat to Martha’s Vinyard? How about a 200 stroke golf score and broken clubs? How about an open mike discussion of treason? How about a nose that grows longer with each passing lie? How about a picture of the son Treyvon behind bars? How about a picture of Soddam with the Brian Williams as the victim?
