Did 'SNL' Go Beyond the Pale With Fauxbama?

Preview of coming attractions. Barry will play the race card early and often to try to stifle any criticism.

[MilspecRob]

According to the article “The Obama campaign yesterday declined to comment on the show or on Armisen’s portrayal. Obama appeared on “SNL” in October.”

[isrul]

Let me clarify. Barack Hussein Obama is a totalitarian abomination. He’s also a miserable leftist demagogue.That applies to every part of him. the part that is white...the part that is black. It applies to every atom of his blighted socialist core.

[giotto]

Waitress: “He’s black?”
Elaine: “Yeah.”
Darryl: “I’m black?”
Elaine: “Aren’t you?”
Waitress, leaving: “I’ll give you a couple minutes to decide.”

ROTFL!

[Syncro]

Hmmm, I thought that B. Hussein was 6.25% black, and 50% white.

12.5 is the legal minimum limit to be black.

So he is white.

Barry White???

[Skywalk]

brwnsuga,

I’m the first one to call it as I see it on some people’s racial issues here on FR (one way or another) but I think you’re reading too much into it.

He’s an Obamination because he’s a far leftist tyrant-aspirant. I’ve heard him called that before as a play on his name (and the Obama Nation thing.) It really has nothing to do with race at all.

The fact that isrul pointed out he was biracial was just trying to undermine this ‘black identity politics’ that seems tied up with Obama (for some people.)

[Taffini]

Barack Costanza Obama

[Jim Jones Kool-Aid]

IT’S FUNNY how if Barak was a conservative, liberals would point out his whiteness more.

Micheal Steele isn’t even half-white but he had his share of Oreos thrown at him.

You know what else is funny, Jay-Z (google him) went to Africa and the black people there called him a white man.

I think us mixed-race people have the best chance to cut the African of off are description and make it plain American. I love my black side but, damn, what about my white side. It simply gets sh!tted on. When was the last time I was called an Irish-American?

[aruanan]

Barack Hussein Obama wants NO CRITICISM whatsoever -- EVER! Not even from SNL. This is beyond dictatorial...

His public reaction about his ears was everything you needed to know about him and his unsuitability to be POTUS.

[brwnsuga]

If you say so, Skywalk. Some of these Freepers walk the fine line of bigotry and one...little...step... and they are David Duke or Farrakan.

[brwnsuga]

So you DO care. Aww

[montag813]

Barack Milhous Obama!

[sonic109]

Imagine that .....don’t hold your breath man ...there isn’t that amount of character left in American politics.

"So you DO care. Aww"

Only somewhat. And that's because I read your profile.

[PROTESTBYPROXY]

I was thinking the same thing. Even sounds like him when he is singing.
