Slog - Comments on Time For Some Campaignin' http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/time_for_some_campaignin There's been lots of talk lately about how hard it is to make fun of Barack Obama. Really? JibJab takes a decent shot at him—and everyone else involved in Campaign 2008—with its new video:...

And you're right about making fun of Obama. They did the best job ever!

Oh, and the video was good too.

All this hullaballoo about "not being able to make fun of Obama" is bullshit. The only people complaining seem to be the ones that can't see beyond his race. I love the guy but I admit that he is ripe for lampooning.

Very funny....

Seems much more in the vein of mainstream Leno-type humor -- not real edgy or relevant satire (whether of Bush, McCain, or Obama).

Now THIS is satire!

Also, I love that Clinton's 2012 poster is reminiscent of China's Red Stars.

PS: Anyone else play the "Name the Figure Head" game with Jib Jab videos?
