"Saturday Night Live" devoted its opening sketch to what was last week's most bizarre story: the scandal surrounding the sign language interpreter who said he has schizophrenia and was hallucinating while signing at Nelson Mandela's memorial service.

Kenan Thompson portrayed Thamsanqa Jantjie, the interpreter, during a speech given by President Barack Obama, played by "SNL's" resident president, Jay Pharoah.

Jantjie “clearly had no idea what he was doing,” Pharoah's Obama said, before Thompson's faux fake interpreter appeared from behind the podium.

My God, I wish I had the time but I could have re-edited the actual footage with a complete epic translation.....”I WAS BORN IN KENYA! OK I ADMIT IT...BUT I’M A MARXIST AND A DEMOCRAT...SAME THING...AND THE PRESS PROTECTS ME..” stuff like that. DOH! That would have been awesome. I also have a friend who can imitate the Kenyans voice perfectly! Then add some crowd sounds LOL

I saw it. I thought SNL was, once again, kind to Obama. They mocked Merkel & the signer, but Obama was the most normal one. I have yet to see SNL really mock him.

And those same collectivists will welcome the global dictator/false messiah with open arms when he goes public.

If you post it, ping us. It could be the new “Hitler Finds Out...” viral vid.

Jantjie “clearly had no idea what he was doing,”

Neither does Obama.

One man’s perceived incompetence is another man’s agenda.
