In launching a Web site aimed at educating the United States on Arizona’s controversial illegal immigration law, Governor Jan Brewer (R-Ariz.) took umbrage with the president’s joke at the recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The event is an opportunity for its speakers to make light of politics, and President Barack Obama did so with Arizona’s immigration law:

“We all know what happens in Arizona when you don’t have ID — adios, amigos.”

It was this joke which became the target of Gov. Brewer’s address regarding new steps the state government is taking to promote the law on a national level.

“It’s fair to ask whether he intends to be the Commander-in-Chief or the Comic-in-Chief,” Gov. Brewer said. “Since the president’s joke was so inappropriate, I suppose, if I wanted to join in the comedian game, I could suggest that he should not give up his day job.”

“Unfortunately, though, he isn’t doing very well at that one, either,” she added as her punchline. In the context of the Correspondents’ Dinner, Mr. Obama’s joke may not be seen by some as “so inappropriate.” Gov. Brewer does not see the issue of border security as a joking matter, regardless of context.

Gov. Brewer: Obama 'Comic-in-Chief'?

Secure The Border | Secure The Border
 
It is simple... There is NO joke that is not inappropriate...

And in the spirit the policy of "freedom from" congress should make a law making freedom from humor a human right and that anyone who engages in, or is addicted to, humor instantly becomes a non-citizen who because they disregard the sensibilities of a few should not be allowed within U.S. borders.
 
Arizona takes it seriously the border problems and was correct to point out that the Federal Government failed to help protect Arizona. The governor was serious about it, Obama...not so much.
 
Jan Brewer is a moron. Given the context of the joke, there was nothing wrong with saying it. The WHCD is traditionally a light-hearted, policy-free event. The fact that Brewer is trying to make it a political issue and stir up trouble shows how pathetic she is.
 
The real moron goes to the Federal Govt for not doing it's duty to protect the border. Arizona was pushed into a corner on this. Eric Holder lashed out at Arizona but he never read the bill. So did Obama.
 
Yep. Everybody should take everything seriously... and those who do not take it seriously enough should be properly punished. Ambrose Bierce.
 
There is no word such as Comic in chief.

Jan Brewer is just a pathetic and she isn't deserved to be governor.

Kokonut, quit being fool, seriously.

She seems to be doing a good job so far. Not much so for Obama.

Comic-in-Chief. Sure, it's been used many times.

Google

Even Bush was called as one whenever he tries to ham it up.
 
Perhaps a "sense of humor" should be replaced with "sense of responsibility" in the White House .... after all, its a serious job.

Obama's rhetoric clearly shows he does not take his job seriously if he can make jokes concerning the well being of Arizona's citizens.

Mark Twain did not say that ..... I did.

That's your opinion.

Jan Brewer is still a loser and she's nothing.

as ADer said in other thread... "some people have no humor nowadays."
 
I tend to think a joke about a controversial topic loses its humor if you've been demagoguing about that topic for several days before the joke.
