#1 There was a joke in the U.S. about the depressed Department of Agriculture agricultural agent. The man's head was hung down, he showed no enthusiasm, shuffled his feet, was depressed and expressed thoughts of suicide to a fellow worker. When asked what was wrong, the man said:
"I'm so depressed, I feel like jumping off a bridge!"
"Why do you feel so down?"
"Because my farmer died."

#2 I've noticed that many communist jokes have relevance to Obama's America. My favorite (from communist Cuba):

A Cuban man liked to fish off the Havana pier to supplement his food ration. This afternoon he caught a very large dorado (mahi-mahi). Unfortunately it was too large to cook with his meager ration of cooking oil, nor could he freeze it given Cuba's frequent power outages.

With great sadness he released the fish back into the sea. As the fish swam away, it raised its head out of the water and yelled "VIVA LA REVOLUCION!"
