Obama' charm is gone,even with his supporters and the press.
In a totally embarrassing video, President Obama tells a joke about nominating somebody who had been on Jeopardy and no one, absolutely no one laughed and the President was left hanging.
From Real Clear Politics: "Back in the 80's, Richard was also a five-time Jeopardy champion and a semi-finalist in the Tournament of Champions. Not too shabby," President Obama said as he announced the nomination of Richard Cordray to run the consumer bureau on Monday.
"That's why all his confirmation -- all the answers at his confirmation hearings will be in a form of a question," Obama said to silence.
"That's a joke," he reminded the audience.

Apparently, no one held up the applause line.
I do feel a little for embarrassed for Obama, but then I think what would have happened if this was Bush. It would be on the news, on the talk and the late night shows.
The audience probably thought what Stewie thought on Family Guy.
