It's a new day folks. Isn't Obama half caucasian? The bickering over all the lame nonsense this site puts out as news is such a reflection on what a thin skinned society we have. Especially rediculous when compared to real news and the future of this nation.

The entire skit looked like a minstrel show....problem is how to find some one tall, dark and handsome who can act. .to play Obama SNL used to be hip, fringy and off-beat; now it's gone mainstream, they've sold out....Tina Fey making tons of money with her American Express Ads.....cause she's got no talent.....she's smart, but she's anything but funny.

"It might, on balance, make her look a little whiny," (Downey) said. "She might have been better off if other people pointed it out for them."

Or it might have been better if she hadn't relied on a second rate comedy program as her voice of authority...

Best description of the Democratic race:

"It's like when the mom is in the grocery store and the kids rush up with this brand new cereal saying `We've got to get it, we've got to get it!'" Downey said. "The mom is the one who is supposed to read the box, check the ingredients. She's not supposed to go, `Oh, my gosh, this is great! It has marshmallows and chocolates and sprinkles."

Skit aside, Tuesday's contests will seal the deal for most people.

SNL has made it fassionable to poke fun at our national leaders for decades, HRCs complaining won't stop it now or in the near future. The Hillary camp has to learn how to laugh - or cackle, if they must!

Hillary has mentioned the SNL skit where Obama is favored over her but , as usual, made no reference to the Tina Fey bit that some took as an endorsement of Hillary. I didn't believe it an endorsement for even Tina is not that fey, in fact, I would support Ms Fey for president AS we could do worse than bright, creative, and interesting. Hillary is beginning to act like a MPD or DID and if she is going to present many personalities could we see just one emerge that is exciting?

I'd like to see SNL do Hardball, but have them all dressed up in flamboyant pimp clothing and jewelry and "pimp cups" and all that while using that rapper terminology of theirs. And they'll be like, "There ain't no conspira-shizzle up in here. Dat Clinton bitch be paranoid, yo. Pimpin' be da word we use ta communa-kizzle."

Thanks for the warning. I won't be watching.

I'd bet Biden, Dodd, Kuchinich, and Gravel would love to get the first question in a debate. How much media attention did those guys get? Good or bad, Hillary gets more media attention than anyone. The media pundits in the begining of this campaign season were ready for a Hillary coronation. She was consistently referred to as unbeatable, and they have bought into her slogans hook, line, and sinker. They reference the race as experience vs. Hope, as if she had proven her 35 years. Tell me how time spent at Walmart considered Presidential experience? How many times have you heard someone on CNN say that her strongest point is that she's Ready on Day One? What does that even mean?!?! And now she has the media scared of their own shadow. I mean, she clearly lost the last debate, but no one in the media is willing to step up and just say it. She's got everybody bending over backwards to be "fair" to her. Give me a break. If Obama had lost 10 in a row, hell, 5 in a row, he would have been media history. Hillary teared up in NH and it was practically played back on a loop back. The media is obsessed with Hillary Clinton. It's time for them to let go and move on.

Eh. In the grand scheme of things SNL is irrelevant. Losers get desperate and their supporters get desperate. Hopefully, America will put them all decisively out of their misery soon enough.

"That usually doesn't happen unless it resonates,"

I don't know that you can conclude anything more than that it resonated with Hillary.

Here's a revolutionary POV...

The skit was funny. So was The Daily Show's recap of the debate last night (which was pro-Obama.) And neither is part of a vast media conspiracy to control the election. There's media bias on both sides, and no one is immune to its influence, which is why most people take the media with a huge grain of salt and draw their own conclusions as best they can.

Neither HRC supporters nor Obama supporters have a monopoly on intelligence, or sincerity, or love of country, and none of us has a crystal ball.... We simply looked at the same information and came away with different opinions. Ain't freedom grand?

Would it be SO BAD to take a step back and be glad that people are engaged in this election in record numbers, both candidates have already made history, and by their own admission, they're more similar than they are different. Someone will win, and someone will lose, fair and square, it doesn't mean evil has triumphed over good either way. It's just the way the process works.

If your choice loses, you can choose to support the winner, or not. You can choose to hold a grudge and stay angry for years and hurl invectives at people who supported the winner, or you can choose to have a little perspective and get over yourself.

We're talking about Saturday Night Live here, people! Good lord!

Hi!
I thought the skit was hilarious and was actually grateful for it.
While liking Obama enormously and initially supporting him the unfair media coverage was becoming so blatantly biased both on MSNBC/MSM and on Progressive Blogs (of course) that I just found it intolerable.

The Obamatons who are so vehemently protesting and angry or bitterly panning SNL and the skit will be laughing their asses off and agreeing when the tables are turned, and of course they will be.

I do hope, I beg you to insert something with Matthews and the thrill running up his leg and/or how he badgers his "guests" panelists into agreeing with him even if half heartedly or on a very small technicality.
I love Darryl Hammond and would love to see it at some point.

Thanks for a great skit and the show was good. I've been watching SNL from the beginning and there have been some years that I didn't find it funny at all, the jokes were too scatological and sophomoric for my taste... but hey, you can't please everybody. Last night was a much needed refreshing respite from the insanity and inanity of this election.

Thanks Tina Fey for many of us as well.
Whe rocked!

What about a SNL segment where the two dems. are featured on "Dancing with the Stars"?
