Political Punchlines

One of the upsides to campaign season is the great material it provides our late night comedians. Check out the graph below to see which candidates they’re joking about the most, and scroll down for the best punchlines.

Barack Obama

Jay Leno

President Obama announced that illegal immigrants who came to this country as children will be able to stay and obtain work permits. He said it's not a permanent fix. It's just a temporary stopgap measure to help him get reelected. (June 19, 2012)

Conan O'Brien

President Obama issued an order that allows some illegal immigrants to stay in the country. Or, as Fox News reported it, Obama issues order allowing himself to stay in the country. (June 18, 2012)

Stephen Colbert

Obama has chosen John Kerry to play Mitt Romney [in his debate prep]. That is shocking-- somebody chose John Kerry for something. (June 19, 2012)

Jimmy Fallon

Yesterday, President Obama played his 100th round of golf since taking office. You could tell it was Obama 'cause he finished about 14 trillion over par. (June 18, 2012)

Mitt Romney

Jon Stewart

Barack Obama must appeal to a diverse, endlessly fractured coalition of competing interests, while Romney has to bring together what appears to be 50 shades of white. (June 19, 2012)

Conan O'Brien

President Obama has issued an order allowing some illegal immigrants to stay in the United States. Mitt Romney says he is fine with this plan, at least until his landscaping is finished. (June 19, 2012)

Stephen Colbert

Yes, if Mitt Romney is elected illegals will self-deport. In fact, some Americans might even join them. (June 18,2012)

Jimmy Fallon

President Obama has asked Senator John Kerry to stand in as Mitt Romney while he practices for the upcoming debate. Big job for Kerry. First he has to memorize Romney's stance on each issue. Then he has to memorize Romney's other stance on each issue. (June 19, 2012)
