SNL Gives It To Obama Over Unemployment And Debt To China
Sarah Palin wasn’t the only political figure to get satirically served by Saturday Night Live this week. In fact, Barack Obama got his turn first, sort of like being president, right Sarah? (Kidding. Sort of!) The show opened with a CSPAN segment depicting a joint press conference between President Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao, played by Will Forte and speaking through an interpreter. Thus, your requisite foreign language jokes and conjugation issues. The homosexual jokes can not so easily be accounted for, but rest assured, they’re there too.
But though the skit seemed a bit short on laughs, the same can not be said for its political content. Did the show consciously sacrifice funniness in favor of make a political point? We report, you decide!
