Faith and news analyst Brian Donovan try to figure out why it is so hard to make fun of Democratic Presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama.
This month Barack Obama has won 23 primaries, 821 delegates, and a Grammy. The country, nay the world, has Obama mania, Faith. The Chicago Senator cleaned up in Wisconsin yesterday, beating Clinton by 17% in the popular vote. And in the exit polls he bested her in nearly every demographic. It just doesn’t seem like bad press can get any traction with the guy. We hear the experience and lack of substance refrain, but they’re not hurting his numbers. The best insult Clinton seems to have come up with is that he’s too charismatic. People like him too much when he talks. This is bad news for comedians. We can’t have a President who is un-mockable. Fair Game’s Brian Donovan went out to streets today to try to get the Barack Obama pulse.
