The other night as I watched Obama speak in Texas, I realized a few of his physical mannerisms reminded me of someone. Now it comes to me - Steve Urkel! Jaleel White would be the perfect height and build, and he must be in his mid-20s by now.

Meanwhile Obama better spend some time watching a few reruns so he can filter out the Urkel-like mannerisms!

Oh, please DO satirize Obama and all his moonie-eyed adherents.

My vote - Mitt Romney!

Think about it - he has already mastered the art of reversing himself in his brief run at the GOP nomination, he should be able to shape shift from a pasty white guy to a black dude - hey, it's television, how important is it, really?

An empty suit will suffice.

I think SNL should seriously consider offering the part to Obama. It would make sense for Obama and it wouldn't be altogether unprecedented.

Obama should consider making time for weekly drop-ins to air the skits because it would give him some control over the portrayal. The other reason he would do it is because politicians always benefit from opportunities to poke fun at themselves.

SNL should consider it based on Obama's star power and the fact that these self-portrayals often are the funniest things they ever do.

YouTube Freddy Lockhart, and watch his Obama videos. He's be perfect. Dave Chapelle raves about Freddy. You can also check him out in a show called "mixed media"(?) on www.superdeluxe.com

SNL like the Clinton's are pass their sale by dates, does anyone even watch this show any more?

Nobody does unfunny, obvious, cheap political parody and imitation better than SNL. I've never found any of their, Bush, Clinton or Gore parodies even slightly funny.

i can't stop vomiting.

How did King George and Prince Dick "win" in 2000? SNL helped to make Shrub more "Frat Boy Fun" than "The Bore" Gore. Remember Will Ferrell and Darrell Hammond? Hysterical AT THE TIME. I couldn't watch a second of those skits TODAY, however. I'm too disgusted with the past seven years of the "COMMANDANT in Chief."

As a supporter of Barack Obama, I ask SNL: PLEASE SAY "YES WE CAN ~ CHOOSE NOT ~ TO SATIRIZE MCCAIN OR OBAMA."
I do NOT want to wake the sleeping Republican machine or see either candidate denigrated. McCain is a satire of himself: 100 more years in Iraq? Dream on.

It's time for the country to "get smart and get serious." The 2008 election is no laughing matter.

why not just Obama? He's already done one nasty little petty SNL hatchet job on his fellow dem candisates, why would he suddenly develop a sense of integrity and refrain now?

Clinton's call to Obama after her Wisconsin loss would be hilarious on SNL. - Hurry up, SNL!

What about his wife!

SNL is one of those pages that needs to get turned. Just hearing that they're looking for someone to play Obama is enough to induce a coma. It isn't bad enough we have to watch our boomer brothers fuck up our government, we have to pretend to laugh at their jokes, too?

When are old people going to stop running things that require life?

Bring back Tim Meadows!
