Bush describes the former president's refusal to use humor that belittled political opponents. This stands in contrast to modern presidents who use the White House Correspondents' Dinner to roast rivals. President Obama's appearance on Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" is characterized as arrogant rather than funny.

The commentary compares this to a previous joke Obama made about using predator drones on the Jonas Brothers. The hosts argue that such humor is inappropriate for a Commander-in-Chief with actual lethal authority.
