Wanda Sykes, Comedian comments about Obama, Limbaugh, and Cheney

Wanda Sykes, famed comedian delivers her message in a speech below at a dinner that was broadcast nationally on C-SPAN in 2010, remarks about Limbaugh beginning at the two-minute mark. Obama can be clearly seen laughing as Sykes delivers her line about Limbaugh's kidneys failing. "He needs a waterboarding, that's what he needs," she continued. But when she started talking about waterboarding, his laughter subsided. He liked the comment about Rush Limbaugh being hooked up to a broken dialysis machine.

On a personal note, the editor of "Obama in the White House blog" believes that jokes centered around Rush Limbaugh and other jokes mentioning 911 should not be a topic of any comedian. Critics of Obama believe that him smirking or laughing about comments made by Sykes are not of good taste. That may be so, but it was a reaction of a human being at a very funny comedian.  I do not 100% support her statements in the tone she presented them in her shtick. But at the same time, Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney should realize that it was only a matter of time that critics, including comedians would comment on their actions.
