"Obama is everywhere – daily news briefings, the Sunday Talk shows, the Superbowl pre-game, Arab Television, You Tube. He’s one town hall meeting away from reaching Paris Hilton levels of overexposure.
If you listen to political satire, it often seems like the Democrats have a monopoly on social comedy. Well, they don't. There's a few Republican Comics working in America, and Jim Mendrinos may just be the best of the bunch.
"There are Obama plates, t-shirts, coins. I think he’s trying to stimulate the economy by merchandising himself."
Many Republican Comics can be too extreme. With Jim, there's no unnecessary controversies, extremist views, or Liberal bashing; just well crafted comedy that is smart, accessible to any audience, and decidedly to the right of center.
"You know who really needs a bailout? The Republican Party. Look at that last election, we've been severely downsized!"
Jim shatters the popular image of who a Republican Comic should be. He comes from a blue collar neighborhood, is a second generation Greek-American, and lives in a district that is so overwhelmingly Democrat that they haven't run a Republican candidate for state or national office in the district in years!

And secondly, I figured with all the voter apathy, I might just have a shot at winning the damn thing..."
A frequent contributor on Fox’s Strategy Room, Jim is sought after because of his ability to make people laugh while speaking about the issues.

He is also the creative force behind The NYC Underground Comedy Festival, which is dedicated to helping young comedy artists and raising money for Operation Uplink, a VFW organization that sends phone cards to service people stationed overseas and combat vets.
