Why comedians and ‘SNL’ are shielding President Obama

At last, we know the reason why comedy writers don’t make fun of President Obama much.

It turns out the man is completely unmockable.

Hey SNL... Scared say scared...

Typical liberal bed-wetting commies...

The funny thing is if there ever were a serious attempt to move to a dictatorship, the press and Hollywood would be lined up and shot first...

We learn this from Jim Downey, the longtime “Saturday Night Live” specialist in political japery.

'japery' - not a word that is used too often. Need to be careful how you say it so as not to offend any Japanese.

Really? You can’t mark his habit of celebrating everything, including terrorist attacks with a golf game or that he takes breaks in between his vacations with Golf?

the last time I watched this show it looked like skits that my 10 year old and his friends in the neighborhood put on.

Obama with some japery.

I see this all the time but I'm not sure I believe it. These two groups are responsible for propogandizing the entire country, and do it enthusiastically and without compunction.

And I think the serious attempt has been underway for some time now.

"Downey says. “There’s not a single thing to grab onto — certainly not a flaw or hook that you can caricature..."

Riiiight....

Because they are The Hussein Clown Posse.

The Hollywood Democratic establishment, Ideological Privilege, and Black Privilege. Obama has the protection of it all! To present any spoofs of Obama one must first climb that thousand-foot-high face of solid black hard volcanic glass wall -- all the while dodging streams of hollow point rounds aimed at anyone nearing the wall.

Hollywood Democratic establishment and Ideological Privilege ruled the media for decades. I stopped watching TV 20 years ago -- and then it was only the Simpsons and Married With Children.

And why?

Because they'd talk. And tell how it was done. Yes, they're stupid enough.

They are also incredibly naive and don't think they would be subject to it, only the "little people" will be.

Of course once they realize the truth, it will be too late for them.

For liberals pushing the agenda is always more important than everything else, even the betterment of their own careers.

Ha Ha Ha!

Liberals now understand just how stupid they are.

I tell my liberal acquaintances that just because Obama is a complete failure at everything, there is no need to question your political acumen now. Just stick with the Hopey/Changey and get me another cheeseburger.
