Funny how SNL seems a lot more amusing now than during the last administration when it picked on the president.

I think that while it looked as if they were mocking him, they were subliminally mocking us, saying “you were so worried that he was going to do radical things, but it has happened, you paranoid worry-worts.” If they really wanted to mock him, they would have had a skit about ACORN.

Just because he’s a somewhat black actor he can be 0bama? Isn’t that racist since it wasn’t really an impersonation?

[avacado]

I agree with your post. It was a left handed slap to us Conservatives.

Well, It seems to me SNL was skewering him for not enacting his leftists agenda.

An observation: SNL isn’t funny. I haven’t watched it for years and clips like this affirm my decision.

[Chode]

and 0bama takes another one in the.................................HA ha!!!

There has been a few good seasons but 99% of SNL seemed to tailored to drug addicts and ankle biters.

[cothrige]

Of course, he has been a failure, both from the right and the left. But, the news here is, even with great material like this President, SNL still isn't funny.

[dragnet2]

Too bad they didn't use someone that was actually funny in this skit.

This guy is as funny as a criminal interrogator.

The actor is not black and he always plays nObama on SNL. He usually sounds and looks more like nObama than he did in this skit.

I have been a (mostly) faithful SNL watcher since the beginning. The show has had years when they were funny and years when they were worse than bad. From what I have seen this year is going to be a bad one.

And when was the last time that Obozo looked at the camera?

Thanks for your confirmation —

That actor sucks. Obama normally speaks choppy because every time you see him he is trying to give you the impression that he is not "reading" when in fact he is. SNL should hire someone that can mock Republicans and Democrats and not be so PC. Because the show is a subsidiary of the Democrat party is why it sucks.

SNL ceased being funny about 10 years ago.

[Ditter]

That actor usually does a MUCH better job of sounding like nObama. He is probably a flaming liberal and when he was told he had to do that skit he rebelled and refused to sound like him.

In analyzing the purpose and effectiveness of this skit, it is important to remember that most Americans are as stupid as sheep. They voted for Obama not out of a deep-seated leftist orientation but rather to avoid being in an unpopular (according to the media) position. They were most comfortable when nodding agreement with the media cheerleaders for Obama. The noise made recently by the Tea Party demonstrators has started to unsettle this comfort-seeking herd. The purpose of the skit was to reassure the herd that Obama is harmless and that all the complaints about Obama are groundless.

So they told the truth about bambi...
accomplishments...nope

[Positive]

Now I liked the points made, truth is usually funnier than fiction.

But you implied an idea that would have made this skit truly funny...

If the performer had ratcheted his head and eyes up and left to right, back and forth, between each phrase it would have been hilariously, truthfully, funny.

I think I missed the part in the skit where he mentions nationalizing the banking and automotive industries in his list of non-accomplishments.
