I'm having a tough time figuring out how to make fun of Obama.  The best I've come up with is his habit of beginning sentences with "Well, look..." when he's annoyed by a question.

He's too fuckin' smart. That's the problem.

What can you do with that. I'd sit and criticise but I have half an idea he's going to do a little Irish diplomacy and give some real socialism to Americans without them being able to figure it out. (Which is btw clearly what is needed...)

For those who don't know, as per my da, Irish diplomacy is the ability to inform a man of his need to go to hell such that he look forward to the trip...

There is his - generally quite laudable - attempt to see all sides of every question (see The Audacity of Hope - which I'm about half-way through) and the best in people - he says Bush is a likeable guy. You could satirise this - "Now look, you're ignoring the fact that Hitler was interested in art and was kind to his dog."

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

I got a good laugh out of that.  Well done, Ted.  I bow before you, sir.

"Well, look, it's important to remember that Hitler was kind to his dog.  Aaaaaaaand he did, uh, I think, have a strong interest in fine art...."

Yes, yes, this could definitely work.

Any quote like that makes me instantly think

The Producers quotes - Mel Brooks Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, Kenneth Mars

Franz Liebkind: Hitler... there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon! TWO coats!

As I kid I believed the propaganda that Hitler was in fact named Schicklegruber and a wallpaper hanger by trade.
