Obama Makes a Funny (But Somewhat Creepy) Joke About Targeted Killings

At last night’s White House Correspondents Dinner, President Obama cracked a funny joke about his administration’s use of Predator Drones for targeted killings.  From the Politico:

— “The Jonas Brothers are here! … Sasha and Malia are huge fans but boys don’t get any ideas. I have two words for you: Predator Drones. You’ll never see it coming.”

Ha, ha, ha…er, on second thought, is it just me, or is this joke a little creepy?

The expendability of non-Americans is such a laugh.

The Jonas brothers aren’t American?

bored.
bored.

Jokes aside, Jonas’ brothers music makes them legitimate targets for drones’ attacks.

Cute boy bands – drone attacks on our sensibilities.

I disagree with bored, they should at least have a trial, even if they do appear de facto guilty of crimes against humanity.

Yes.  Kind of creepy.

My Verdict: Not Funny & Very Creepy. But I bet it got a big laugh from our wonderful Fourth Estate.  Someone hand me the paper bag, please!
