into his term as president..."
By nineteen months, Obama will have an 'entertainment czar' and there will be no 'Obama comedy' allowed. Bush and all Republicans, will however, remain safe targets.
Of course, in nineteen months; we can only hope that we can still manage a smile; much less, find anything to laugh about. (Meantime; during this brief downtime; where SNL would even consider a slight criticism; why not get Obama's shorts in a knot; and those of his fans as well. How about a skit showing that it was not Bush's fault; but rather the size of Obama's ears that turned off the 'good will' and the Olympic 'gold').
