Making fun of our black president. Blatant racism by Armisen and SNL

SNL has been pretty good lately. Well I guess lately, I watch it on Hulu and have no idea what week’s episode I’m on.

It seems like the folks at SNL took note of how often Obama spiked the ball on the Bin Laden killing. He and his campaign will be milking this for all it’s worth. Considering the slipping poll numbers and the unpopularity of his policies, I can’t say as I blame them. I would caution them not to take it too far or the entire country will see it like SNL did.
As far as I’m concerned, that is only one on the scoreboard for him since he’s been elected. I do sincerely thank Obama for the call to take out Osama Bin Laden.

Fred Armisen’s Obama impression sucks. Always has. Anybody else agree?

Is MEDIAite gonna post a story that we care or want to comment on?

I think what comes out of the mouth of the real Barack Obama is even funnier. Here is a video of his greatest gaffes…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln0q9hQxwAc

Just think if it was Bush, they would’ve had a ticker-tape parade through Times Square; he would’ve been landing on numerous aircraft carriers and there would be a statue made in his honor.

Ever heard of a tv?

Bush would have flown around the world, and every time he got off a plane he would have been in a different outfit like Lady Gaga at the Grammys.

@Jaurez: SNL is better on Hulu because you can fast-forward through the lame parts.

Every Monday through Thursday night, Mediaite posts a clip from “The Daily Show” and on Saturday nights, they do one to three posts about “Saturday Night Live”. These are often mirrored on sites with whom they have a content-sharing agreement, they’re sometimes linked from other agggregators and because the Mediaite clips are posted early, they’re often tweeted which generates more traffic.

IOW: You, me and the other regular commenters aren’t the only ones reading this blog.

Any President, Democrat or Republican, would have made the most of taking out Bin Laden. Let’s stop pretending that’s unusual. He would have taken all the blame if the operation had gone bad.

Yup CaintheBull and the right would have asked for his impeachment. Oh wait im sorry they do that everyday anyway.

Aww come on 2 thumbs down on my lady gaga comment. I think even you righties would have thought that was pretty funny:)

I don’t have cable television any more, just use streaming and on-demand for rentals. It’s funny, I actually watch more television shows now that I don’t have cable.

It’s very uneven. Sometimes for about 10 seconds it’s OK, then it just reverts back to him acting flat.

George W Bush landed on an AIRCRAFT CARRIER and flew MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banners before the Iraq war was even HALF OVER!!!!!!!111 Now THERE was a man who knew how to take a VICTORY LAP – and he took it in a MFing FIGHTER JET!!!!!!!!111 Nice try HUSSEIN …. you’ll NEVER top our Greatest President!!!!!!111

Perhaps the President should be taking applications for a new head speech writer.
In the speeches subsequent to Osama Bin Laden’s killing Obama missed the opportunities to be sincerely magnanimous toward all of the other people responsible for this success story. In doing so he squandered a lot of political capital he might have gained here and abroad. If he had rhetorically put himself in the backseat to those folks, the public would have raised him up further. The speeches made it appear that he was tooting his own horn too much.

I sayyyyy we put Obama and Bush in a cage match and have them duke it out. Whoever wins takes credit for killing Bin laden and the economy:)

Sometimes I think even if a commenter posted that “Jesus is Our Lord and Savior” they would get some thumbs down if perceived as a frequent liberal poster

BTW, I loved the part in the sketch about if you’re watching a 13 inch Sanyo with a bunch of loose cables you may be a terrorist. All things considered, pretty good writing lately.
.

Hehe yea that comment about the tv was funny lol

I thought it was funny because it mocked all the unamerican right wing extremists claiming Obama was making a victory lap.

I watched it on HULU and fast forwarded through the lame parts …. so can someone ( quickly ) fill me in on what I missed.

GALLUP: Obama slips back to 48/45… NOW, that is FUNNY.

That means A/P will have him at 78/22 by dinner time.

It is horrible and this skit had zero comedic value.

fghjqqpp, that seems a bit off topic.

It contained enough truth to make me laugh.

Yeah, the Wolf/Jessica stuff was pretty funny, making excuses for his behavior is what they do daily. SNL going after someone other than FNC is pretty unusual….they must know that the county is laughing at hehimself for the self-aggrandizement and self promotion of his statements regarding UBL.

Still, I though it was OK, I’m not much of an SNL fan at all.

Don’t tell Tommy that. He thinks the skit was “lampooning criticism of the President’s lone, low-key mention of Osama bin Laden’s killing.”

And yet, I’m sure Jay Pharaoh would have made this much much funnier.

Won’t be flying around the world anymore unless he wants to get arrested for war crimes.

Bush does not give a crap about Obama and does not care what the media or the left wing nuts thinks of him. He sticks to his values and now tries to help out where he can, like “Wounded Warrior”.

He has class and stays out of criticizing Obama and not like Carter and Clinton who are out there all the time blaming everyone else but their our party for all the problems in our country!

…………………………..
If it’s pro Obama,..”teas” hate it, against him……they love it!

The WH talking head has always been a good mark for SNL’s talent pool. What’s up with the lame duck for Obama?

Yeah. Invasion of a foreign country, and subsequent assassination is just hilarious.

I didn’t think it was hilarious at all. Dumb and boring.
