The joke is finally on Barack Obama

US Election 2008: The joke is finally on Barack Obama - Telegraph UK

Have you heard the one about the presidential candidate who was once so popular that comedians were frightened to make jokes about him?

The punchline is this: the more seriously he took himself, the more Barack Obama has become a laughing matter.

Only a month ago American comedians and satirists were complaining that they found it hard to get people to laugh at the first black presidential nominee

That is a half truth. People would laugh, but not the right people. The comedians didn't dare make a joke about ObaMessiah.

The Brits laugh at his holiness and find opening moves by the US PC comedians. Read it at the link above.
