[Edit] Don't read this if you do not speak American. I have confused many people so far.  [/Edit]
I'm sure this is not a new joke but my 13 year old son told it to me the other night at dinner and I had not heard it before. For some strange reason, it made me laugh for a while.
If Barack Obama's last named had been Lee instead of Obama his name would have been Barack Lee.
Perhaps because it was during dinner I found it more humrous.

To my pronunciation "Barack Ali[^]" works better than "Barack Lee".

And neither of them work at all, methinks...

Yeah, and if his first name had been Bruce instead of Barack, then he would have been Bruce Lee?!?!?! 
Sorry, but I don't get it!

After the picture of broccoli i got it. It seems Barack Lee sounds like broccoli and for some reason it seems funny.

I think you'll find that Ryan is American (at least according to his profile)!

I see - yeah, well - there's nothing like a good word game! And this was definitely nothing like a good word game...

It's not my fault you live on the wrong side of the world and speak the wrong language.

I think it's more likely because I'm a little more than 13 years old...

"Cubby" to his friends!
I'm a little ambiguous as far as he is concerned. Without him we wouldn't have had the James Bond movies (and that would have been a pity). But then again: Without him we wouldn't have had any broccoli either (and that would definitely NOT have been a pity)...

Broccoli is good!
Just think of all the things you can do with it!
Um...
They make the plate look pretty?

Steamed broccoli with a nice cheese sauce, ummmmm!
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I agree.
The cheese sauce sounds delicious!

One of many words that sounds nothing like 'Barack Lee'.
I would say this must be an accent thing, but I can't really see how they can sound alike in any accent, really

Objection!
Barack Lee doesn't sound like broccoli.

It's "because you live on the wrong side of the world and speak the wrong language" 
I'm a little surprised that Ryan even knows that there IS another side of the world... 
Just kidding Ryan - don't take offense...
