SNL skit was as funny as watching Bill Murray covering his family jewels with both hands. Seemed to me that Bill is as disappointed as the general population as to how low and biased this once treasure of a show has slid. The skit was only a teeny bit humorous when the final comedian came on stage to do a rap on obamacare and said he and his family are illegal and came from Libya just to get on welfare. Ted Cruz actor was lame as SNL has been for decades

SNL hasn’t been funny since 1979.

Just remember, the Left knows ObamaCare will fail....it’s just an intermediary step to their ultimate goal, single payer.

I didn’t much care for their portrayal of Ted Cruz.

Believe me, if they criticize ObamaCare, it’s not because they prefer a more market-based solution.

I just had the same problem the other day with a Dem who was rehashing once again Bush’s war in Iraq. I asked him if he ever read the Authorization for Use of Force in Iraq, pointing out that it was a Democrat-controlled Senate that passed it. For some reason, that little fact had been deleted from his memory banks and replaced by a self-invented ‘fact’ (e.g. “Bush rushed to war”, “the Republicans did it”, etc.) that better satisfied his emotional needs.

The low information voter doesn’t know that obozocare will fail. they only know what their rulers/betters have told them. That Republicans want it to fail because we are all mean and rich! Lord please deliver me from democrats.

Yeah, in the 70s, it was “Nixon's war.” Nobody could remember LBJ.

Doubt if the worm is turning - some issues are just so ripe for jokes that even the libtards in the “comedy” business have to jump on them. In a sane world, it might mean something.

It doesn’t trash Obamacare at all, It shows people are lazy and stupid and Ted Cruz is crazy. If your waiting for the media/entertainment industry to trash Obama you will be very disappointed.

At least it did raise some issues in a way that wasn’t attacking Republicans, which has been the norm. Lazy people taking advantage of the system, illegals moving to the US to take advantage of welfare, complexity of system, wasteful spending for people “sticking things up their ...” Did make the case that a big part of the problem is stupidity and selfishness of the “takers.”

I don’t watch anything on the alphabet channels, especially shows with canned laughter.

Oh, it wasn’t canned ... it was a live audience you say?

Well then, they’re sense of humor totally escapes me ... Bursting out in laughter when the guy says his friend was told he has cancer??

Libs are Sick

I know it doesnt matter now but I said it before and I just have to say it again. The election was lost the day Mitt Romney, the only man in all of America who could not run against Obamacare, got the nomination. I think a potted plant could have run a credible campaign against Obama by using stopping the hugely unpopular and unwanted Obamacare as the cornerstone of their platform. But Romneycare took Obamacare off the table from day one. Game, set, match. Obama wins.

Ever see the skits of Obama and the Chinese Premier? Ever see the skit where they credit George Soros as "Owner, Democratic Party"?

SNL gets a few digs into the Democrats occasionally. It's just so outnumbered by their attacks on the Right that you have to be a habitual viewer to catch them.

SNL has always been a left wing show. Sometimes, they accidentally reveal something true from their sketches. The most accurate unintended message from sketch was the one where the Chinese leader keeps asking for us to pay back his money and Obama tries to placate and divert his attention to something else. It showed Obama as the con artist he really is.

SNL can be very funny, but it is like most things from the leftist controlled entertainment industry. You have to filter out the propaganda and laugh when they make a mistake and let some unintended truth slip out.
