I remember back during 2000 when Will Ferell did a funny impersonation of Al Gore. It’s not new for them to poke fun of Democrats from time to time.
Yes, they have poked fun at Dems. sometimes. But the ratio is probably 10-1 of times and events in which they made fun of Bush or Republicans, vs. poking fun at Dems. and Obama.
Chris Kattan did a scathing one about Clinton and Mark Rich
Darrel Hammond’s skits as Bill Clinton were hysterical.
Yeah, once every 14 years or so.
No, but it is new for them to take on Obama. For years they always used to start the show off with a political sketch. During the 2012 campaign the pretty much focused exclusively on the Republicans. Then they dropped the political sketch altogether. So when Obama had a particularly bad week, they started off with Kristen Wiig unfunnily mocking the handicapped. I stopped watching then, and haven't seen any reason to go back. Watch Red Eye, instead.
