Barack Obama, Roswell Gaffes, and Predator Drone Jokes

President Barack Obama faced criticism for making "arrogant" jokes during a visit to Roswell, New Mexico, where he used the phrase "if I told you, I'd have to kill you." The commentary compares this to a previous joke Obama made about using predator drones on the Jonas Brothers. The hosts argue that such humor is inappropriate for a Commander-in-Chief with actual lethal authority.

Obama Jonas Brothers Predator Drone Joke

The hosts revisit a joke made by President Obama at the White House Correspondents' Dinner where he threatened the Jonas Brothers with "Predator drones" if they got ideas about his daughters. They contrast the "humorous" use of the technology with the actual killing of American citizens, noting the "bloodthirsty" reaction from some right-wing commentators.

Predator Drones, Obama White House Correspondents Dinner

President Barack Obama's joke about using predator drones on the Jonas Brothers at the White House Correspondents' Dinner is contrasted with the reality of drone strikes in Pakistan. The Times Square bomber's alleged motive—retaliation for drone attacks—is discussed as a legitimate consequence of U.S. foreign policy that the media is now forced to acknowledge.
