Billy Crystal did a pretty funny Sammy Davis back in the day. Well,SNL got it half right. Obama is half white.

Since Barack isn’t really African-American, maybe they should get an Arab cast member to play him.

That’s a great idea; however, last I heard, Eddie Murphy was not on speaking terms with anyone at SNL. Some sort of unresolved conflict from the 90s, I believe.

I listen to my Rat Pack CDs all the time. My friends think I’m nuts. (That’s Flip Wilson as “Geraldine” on the right.)

You sure that wasn’t Dave Chappelle?

Yep. Definitely Murray.

Oops!

Make that Eddie Murphy.

Murray was baseball.

Eddie has indeed played several white characters- and he was funny!

Is Fred Armisen, who is not African American, “black enough” to embody Obama on “Saturday Night Live”?

Is Obama's maternal family who raised him "black enough"?


Obama's mother, Ann Duhnam, his grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham, and his grandmother, Madelyn Lee Payne.

>> What a silly negro. <<

Oh, great. Now we’ve scrood the pooch. Some WP writer’s gonna write an article about how a Freeper referred to Barrack Obama as a “silly negro.” :^D (Don’t worry, I know the reference had nothing to do with Obama.)

FYI...apparently someone pulled the video...when you try to play it, a message says it is no longer available.
