In my opinion, the Royal Oaf has been off limits to mainstream media and Hollyweird for so long that anything with more than a modicum of criticism is highly significant ... but, that's probably just me.

I watched it...and although the characters (Obama and the common folk portayers) were good, many lines were hard to pick up, plus the jokes and humor were flat and definitely not up to the rapier-wit standards of yesteryear's SNL.
I was a little bored watching it, frankly. It was more like a high school production.

You aren’t wrong...
Careers have been ENDED for mocking/making fun of Obama, and the list of victims is LONG.
The message has been delivered, loud and clear. Mock Obama, and your career is ended. Just look what happened to an obscure Rodeo Clown that dared to wear a $1 Obama Halloween mask from Walmart.

SNL is like Starbucks. They want us to drink their coffee, but they suck.

Reference "Walter White" and Breaking Bad (a show I've never seen a second of, but I know the general plot). Does anyone here know a school teacher without medical benefits? Me, either. So what are they talking about?

There is no way to make more of a parody out of Obamacare. Massive waste of perfectly good satire in another attempt to paint the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010” as more of a grotesquerie than it already is.
Kabuki theater is by its very nature impossible to mock.

As I understand it, Walter White’s descent wasn’t caused by lack of medical insurance.
He initially wanted to obtain enough money so that his family could live comfortably after his death. But by the time he reached his goal ($700K+), he was “hooked” on the lifestyle.

Actually, That actor did such a great job of looking like the president that I immediately greatly had utter contempt for him. It took a minute until I was able to overcome my repulsion of Obama to be able to give the actor credit for capably portraying the fraud as well as he did.

Liberals making fun of liberals; sounds like good comedy to me...
To: Zakeet
I didn’t find it funny either. So it missed on two counts.

SNL was paid with some of Sebelius’ $2 billion propaganda fund to promote Ocare, and last night’s skit was one of the ads for Obamacare. Yup
To: Zakeet
I almost got the impression they were mocking the ones that were against Obamacare. Anybody else?

I liked it! It could have been even more insulting to obama but after all, this was SNL. At least they didn't mention Bush. I especially liked the doctor who had her say. That was funny rite there, I don't care who you are! :)

"An ER doctor then complains that if people in this country would just stop putting stuff up their butts, wed save $5 billion a year in health care costs."I know some ER nurses- this is more true than most would believe.
I think people should be 100% responsible for the costs of self-inflicted idiocy
