This skit was unfair and disingenuous! RACIST We are aren’t closing Gitmo, we are aren’t leaving Iraq, we are working on health care RACISM reform! What do you expect one man to blink his eyes and make everything happen everyone shut up!? And what is this crap racist crap about doing whatever he wants because he has a majority in congress!!!??? I am shocked and appalled at what I saw from SNL NOT racist, I for one am not watching anymore!
Big Bird is a reverse Charles Johnson. Nobody can see Snuffleuppagus except Big Bird, even though he really exists. Charles Johnson can see racists and fascist where they don’t really exist.
I’m really very surprised that Saturday Night Lame did this at all, much less this soon – I was under the impression that dissent, even in comedy, was horribly seditious now (it used to be patriotic, but not any more).
If they were even slightly in touch with the reality of that guy, they would’ve done this about a week after January 20th.
the writing is limp and the impersonation is awful, but my jaw hit the floor to see that they were painting barack as a do-nothing goofball. the best part of the skit was the audience’s nervous laughter. once you start making fun of a god it’s hard to continue worshipping him.
It was funny, but come on, is that the best Obama impression they could come up with. This guy didnt even try to mimic the voice and speech mannerisms. It was a half-assed attempt.
The guy who impersonates Obama on SNL generally does a much better job. He was really off in this skit. I still DVR SNL…don’t ask me why, I usually FF all the way through, I guess it’s habit from the days of Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey. Anyhooo… I watched on Saturday, and laughed, mostly from the shock that they actually made fun of the One.
They were being nice to him. Where was the tennis-match headswings from left to right prompter? Where was the inability to put one word in front of another when the prompter fails? I’m sure there’s more. Maybe next time?

They also went after that no talent Johny Carson want-a-be David Letterman how ’bout that for a miracle?
Wow. So Obama is just way too conservative for SNL? Kinda says it all, doesn’t it?
They say that there’s nothing funny about Obama. When the current SNL crop is doing the writing, it turns out they’re right.

Oh, the 2nd link had a a post next to it saying “Screw the moon!”
You have acquired a copycat. And nobody likes cats.
it 404’d, sorry Frank J… Anyways, the second one was a picture of the moon with the three red dots from the first picture on it.
Nice of you, Frank, to provide a short summary so I don’t have to click “play”.
I’m not being tongue-in-cheek.

He didn’t stutter enough to be Obama. Otherwise, I’m happy to see that at least someone has noticed his worthlessness.
