SNL Goes After "Deeply Unpopular" Health Care Reform Bill (Video)

SNL hits Obamacare as deeply unpopular, then slams Harry Reid's unpopularity, Obama: "Senator Reid I'll admit is in a different situation, he's up for re-election this fall where health care is especially unpopular, really, really unpopular, angry mob unpopular..Health care could poll at 100% and Harry Reid would still have problems" (Video from open)

[Talkradio03]

The guy could do a better job impersonating Obama

[Talkradio03]

BTW, At least they are going after Obamacare, I’ll take anything I can get to stop this thing, even SNL....

[Krankor]

That was absolutely horrible. It wasn’t funny. It’s as if they’re just going thru the motions .

[CaptainK]

The laughter was pretty anemic. I like the fact that the NYC audience is uncomfortable.

[berdie]

I completely agree.

The fact that SNL had this skit (and some others lately) might make a difference.

In reality, it shouldn't be a factor, but any little push back is good.

This amazed me..Obama was on America’ Most Wanted tonight. Campaigning.

(Don't ask me what he said..I turned it off.)

[Neverforget01]

The skit made more fun of Harry Reid than ObamaCare; almost as if healthcare was Harry’s problem.

[wku man]

Again, I am reminded why I haven't watched SNL for 15 years or so...it's not funny anymore!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[GOP Poet]

it did suck.

[Let's Roll]

He was better than I thought he would be BUT he needed to look down his nose almost constantly the way obungler does. Hard for the impersonator to do I know since that is not typical American body language.

Thank you for posting this. I couldn’t believe how SNL hit it on the mark with this skit. I was surprised they would do it at all!

[eyedigress]

You’ve got to admit Phil Hartman was quite a hoot! Today’s characters I don’t know.

[Night Hides Not]

it did suck.

It was nowhere near as funny as the botched WH state dinner. That was a classic skit.

[GOP Poet]

completely missed that one. darn.

[Night Hides Not]

I’m sure you can find it on YouTube.

[wku man]

You're absolutely right...Phil Hartman was a comic genius. When we lost him is when SNL ceased to be worth watching.
