Saturday Night Live opened this week’s show with a parody of CNN’s The Situation Room, with Jason Sudeikis doing a dead-on impression of Wolf Blitzer reporting on an absurdist version of President Obama’s speech in El Paso this week. Lampooning criticism of the President’s lone, low-key mention of Osama bin Laden’s killing, Fred Armisen delivered an over-the-top Obama smoking, trash-talking, and basically letting it all hang out.

Posted on May 15, 2011 at 10:17amthis is off topic, but in the video obama impersonator says the Black President. It made me think you know i was watching Real Time with Bill Maher last night and the MSNBC lady on the panel says to a conservative on the panel who is of Middle eastern decent, or something, has light skin. And the MSNBC lady says that she is a black woman and he is just a “person of color” so he doesnt really understand that everyone who dissagrees with Obama is just a racist .. Well then by her standards then the president is also “not black”… I wonder what they will have to say if we nominate Herman Cain , I mean the race card is there main hand ..

That makes me simple – but I can live with it.
Obama is a joke – a painful and horrible joke.

he‘d be somewhere around an approval rating equal to Nancy Pelosi’s I.Q. (approx 29)

You are being very generous giving Pelosi a 29 IQ as well as what Obama’s true approval rating would be if the media even remotely tried to put forth real journalistic effort.

Posted on May 15, 2011 at 2:15pmThis story is worthy of this website NOT for the jokes that will follow about SNL, but for the “unspoken” reason, and that is…
How comfortable would you be placing yourself and your family against the crazy wrath of al-Qaida Islamic terrorists? That’s what Obama has done with the killing of OBL, and I’m still trying to figure out why? It seemed to me their objectives were very similar.
How is al-Qaida going to respond? We’ve already seen suicide bombers kill 80 people in Pakistan in revenge, but it won’t stop there? It will continue until they get to Obama. As I see it, he is a marked man. His Secret Service security detail probably just tripled and is going to cost the US taxpayer plenty for the next 40 years.
Is that why BHO killed OBL? …rf
