Obama, it's your turn.

Yes, the time has finally come. Saturday NIght Live actually made fun of Barack Obama. I know you're probably just as shocked as I was. I thought it was incredibly clever and hilarious. If you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth your time.



I believe Rush says it best,

"Saturday Night Live waited and waited and waited, and they finally made fun of Obama. They are the first mainstream outfit to make fun of Obama. Now, Jon Stewart, he's done so, but this is bigger. They never fact-check Jon Stewart at CNN when he makes fun of Obama. And Chris Matthews and the boys never get upset at PMSNBC, but when Saturday Night Live did it, they did. Now, where do I fit into this? Well, I fit into it this way. I am ahead of the people, which is why a certain percentage of the country despises me. Unlike Johnny Carson, I don't wait 'til everybody figures it out, because I consider myself a factor in more and more people figuring it out.

I've been making fun of Obama for a year-and-a-half and of course I'm hated and despised by a few people for it. Now all of a sudden I'm joined. I'm always ahead of the game. Everybody's always playing catch-up. But as such, it's kind of interesting for me to sit around and watch everybody catch up. And now it's starting to happen with this Obama stuff. Everybody's starting to get it. The only troubling thing is there's nobody that can do anything about it, Republicans don't have the vote to stop any of this. So 2010 looms as the most important election we'd have in quite a while, and public opinion does matter. Not saying we're powerless here, but in terms of having legislative votes to stop it, it is, we don't.

And now, fact-checking a Saturday Night Live skit! Seriously fact-checking a Saturday Night Live skit! Breathtaking. Unbelievable. Except that it happened."

Yep, CNN even fact-checked this skit and many of the main-stream media have their panties in a bunch over "the nerve" to make fun of the president. Really CNN? You've got to be kidding me. I'm sorry, but I don't remember anyone ever "fact-checking" any President Bush/McCain/Palin skits, but maybe it's because there were too many to count. Will Ferrell and Tina Fey are still basking in their glory of all the skits they were a part of, making fun of the Republicans. And here we are at the first anything from the media to make fun of Obama and everyone is appalled.

I'm loving this, especially cause it's all true. The only reason they're getting so defensive is because they know it's true too, just don't want to admit it.

Here's to many more of these to come!

that was hilarious.

but with rush, I think he's being a tad dramatic because the tone in which he makes fun of obama vs this is a lot different.

the liberal bias in the media is disgusting though.

"most important election in quite a while"?

since...last year? wasn't that the most important one we've ever had?
