Just curious about last night. Did the courageous independent Cecily not-so-witty Saturday Night Live comedian make any tough-but-true jokes about the poll-challenged Obama? Or did she strike hardest at conservatives?

Right out of a movie....the panoramic shot of the whole writhing scene looked like an elite Roman orgy just before the fall of the Empire.

Only lacking was a shot of Medusa Michelle popping grapes into Nero's mouth as he fiddled on the dais.

President Barack Obama took a few humorous shots at the 2016 presidential field

A few "humorous shots" obviously scripted by staff. The only "original" material out of obam's mouth are LIES. Disgrace to America.

It lacked class on every level. It was uncomfortable to watch, and the comedienne was anything but funny. There were too many inside jokes and too many unfunny screen visuals. It was the worst Correspondence Dinner in my memory.

There is just something wrong that so many who are supposed to be telling us the truth can sit there and find Obama... and the misery he has caused in the world today... to be something that can be taken so lightly.

This gala is nothing but sick revelry in the misery and downfall of this country. It is a testament to all the very worst of the DC malaise of the American Spirit and traditional values.

Plainly spoken, it is a gathering of Ghouls to delight in their past yearly accomplishments and laugh about it. Schemers and cowards gather there. In effect, they are the Command and Control infrastructure that is overseeing the devolution of this country.

Presidents always do a “comedy routine” for this Event. Ronald Reagan was the best. But, speaking of SNL..... I posted this on Twitter this morning:

Not an Obama fan, but he was funny. Hillary-supporter from SNL read her lame jokes; no eye contact. NOT FUNNY!

If one added the IQ of all in that room, would the total reach room temp?

I didn’t read the articled in full but last night while scanning the TV channels, I heard a speaker demand that the audience pledge not to talk about Princess Hillary’s appearance. When it went back to the studio, the female host at CNN (I believe) had her hand raised. So, I assume this goes for any criticism to a male candidate, too? How about a compliment, if someone is of the opinion, to Hillary Clinton? All comments are off limits? Is this a new rule because she is female? If so, what about gender equality?

The press should be a wary and suspicious watchdog of government, not rump-swabbing lapdogs playing the role of straight man to a president hell bent on destroying their country.

They compromise their integrity by just attending these insider dinners so the can rub elbows with the powerful.

It’s an elitist perk and a sell out.

They should be out on the streets hunting down Obama’s birth certificate or his 9 different Social Security numbers instead of politely laughing at jokes he makes about the way he is screwing Americans.

Obama makes the Clintons look like a class act - not an easy task, but he manages it so well. He has taken the stigma out of “trailer park trash” by stooping to new crude and juvenile lows at every turn.

And that was before I saw the picture of Tony Romo with Brian Kilmeade. lol

Romo should have stayed in Cabo (although he was pretty good this year).

This event is the equivalent of the pre-WWII days in Germany. The elites gathering for fun and frivolous partying before the curtain rises on Hitler and the Third Reich.

This event is un-American. The press is given the responsibility to keep government on a leash, not become the government’s cheerleaders.
