World leaders making light of killing is never amusing. Ever.

4. Where's your sense of humor?

After all, people are just pieces of plastic on a game board.

5. You are correct.

But whereas Bush was kidding about an enormous lie that led to war that's killed hundreds of thousands...

...Obama was taking the protective father shtick a little further than he should have, probably reading from a prepared script (not an excuse).

I don't see them as all that similar.

Either way, this really has been discussed pretty thoroughly.

6. Absolutely agree. And nobody loves humor more than I.

It's one thing for a Jon Stewart or Bill Maher to make those kinds of jokes, it is another matter completely when someone with political power does the same.

I find ZERO excuse for it from all 3 of those cases cited. ZERO.
