It took the players on SNL to figure outh the “real” Obama just like the rest of the country. I think SNL and McCain-Palin have “made up” now.
The players of SBL didn’t “figure” anything out. Geez, how hard is this to understand- they are PAID actors and comedians. They are not really politicians. It’s not personal for most of them. It’s a job. When they pass the SNL test they eventually go on to get movie contracts and make a bazillion dollars.
