SNL mocks Obama's bin Laden celebrating
Baltimore Sun ^ | 5/15/11 | Luke Broadwater

Posted on 05/15/2011 8:10:18 PM PDT by Nachum

A week after picking apart many of the undeclared Republican presidential candidates (including one, Newt Gingrich, who became a declared candidate this week) "Saturday Night Live" turned its attention to President Barack Obama and his perceived showboating over the killing of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

Conservatives have frequently criticized the president over perceived showboating about bin Laden's death. Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Obama used the words "I," "me" and "my" too much in his first public comments after bin Laden's killing. Then, in follow-up programs, Limbaugh attacked Obama's subsequent public appearances, including one near the Mexican border in which he cracked jokes about Republicans wanting a moat with alligators at the border. Some choice Limbaugh quotes:

• "Obama's hijacked John Wayne from us. Obama's hijacked Bush. He's gone from being best friends with flag-stomping domestic terrorist Bill Ayers to now being best friends and the leader of SEAL Team Six. This is simultaneously nauseating and hilarious to watch."

Doesn't this make SNL racist?

If you question The Won in any way, that's what you are.

Sooner or later the left will realize he is a war monger that is in bed with big business, the ones that donate.

The idea as a skit was good, they only made it half funny... it may actually be a skit, making fun of us making fun of Obama...

Here’s what I think: SNL intentionally makes their Bambi impression and skits suck, so it WON’T be hard-hitting since it’s so lame.
Darrell Hammond could show up to the set, get made up as Bill Clinton, and probably STILL do a better Obama impression than Fred. He doesn’t even try to do the voice and inflections.

That could have been funny, but it really sucked. SNL sucks. You’d have to be really stoned to find any humor in it anymore.

Every obama skit intentionally sucked, that’s why. They have to be “partial” but because the SNL ‘comedians’ are ALL OBAMATONS, they dont want to sound anti-obama. This has been going on for the last 2 years.
