Re "LOL , a pair of loonies!":
A wit on a comments section re this story said that Obama never has to worry about being assassinated since he chose Joe Biden as vice-president. I'm guessing that's an old joke that is recycled every new incumbent. It's a good one though. On this sign-language comedian: it seems he's been used before at ANC party meetings to provide the signs and people have complained he was signalling gibberish. The fact the no one in the ruling party bothered to replace him doesn't bode well for the future of South Africa.
