I saw that too. They really hammered that point. Let's wait for the Bems and Melonies to come in and complain about how biased and unfair this comedy sketch was. I'm sure they are outraged.
In truth, the current Republican stars are just easy targets. Just like Bill and Hillary and Gore were (are). I can't wait for SNL to do more Biden. What with his improper use of the word "literally" along with his habits of saying everything that comes into his brain, I'm pretty sure we'll be well entertained for the next 4 years.

when I see SNL do a caustic skit on Michelle Obama I'll believe there is 'balance'.
What commonly known trait does Michelle Obama possess that can easily be made fun of?

^^^ well they could do a skit on Michelle's call for a 5 mile gun store ban while middle class people in the Chicago suburbs are being robbed at gunpoint by urban blacks cruising the suburbs in stolen SUV's ( recent rash of news stories ) !

It was hilarious I was laughing my ass off.
Still doesn't change the fact that Obama's gotten the best ride in the media anyone could ever imagine.





(snip)"Saturday, the New York Times did a takeout on Cindy McCain that delved back into her problem with prescription pills. Yet when Hillary's campaign manager, Mark Penn, brought up Obama's cocaine use on "Hardball," he was savaged by folks for whom the Times is the gold standard.
The people apparently had a "right to know" of Bush's old DUI arrest a week before the 2000 election, but no right to know about how and when Obama was engaged in the criminal use of cocaine.
The media cannot get enough of the "Saturday Night Live" impersonations of Palin as a bubblehead. News shows pick up the Tina Fey clips and run them and run them to the merriment of all.
Can one imagine "Saturday Night Live" doing weekly send-ups of Michelle Obama and her "I've never been proud" of my country, this "just downright mean" America, using a black comedienne to mimic and mock her voice and accent?
"Saturday Night Live" would be facing hate-crime charges.
How do we know? When the New Yorker ran a cartoon of Michelle in an Angela-Davis afro with an AK-47 slung over her shoulder, New Yorker editors had to go on national television to swear they were not mocking Michelle, but the conservatives who have so caricatured Michelle and the Messiah.
Is there a media double standard? You betcha"(snip)

^^^do you have any sense of humor?





you want humor ??? Try Bill Clinton's reputed response to ...
'You can do that ?"
actually, this joke came from barack Obama's speechwriter.





Funny, funny stuff.... it's the kernel of truth that makes is so hilarious
Obama wrote extensivly about his drug use in his book. There are no questions about it because he has told everything.
Michelle Obama has not said or done anything that is easily made into satire yet. Barack has, Biden has, Plain has, McCain has, The Clintons have, Bush has. I'm sure Michelle will have a satire worthy moment or two over the next 4 (eight) years and we'll be able to laugh at it but claiming that it's unfair because they haven't made fun of her yet is kinda dumb when she hasn't done anything worthy of laughter. What is funny (or could be made into something funny) about her saying what she's said so far? They haven't lampooned Cindy McCain yet either. Is that unfair?

Ok, even Melonie has to find some humor in this ONE.





^^^ that doesn't change the fact that Michelle advocated the Chicago gun store ban, nor the fact that the now 'gun free' Chicago suburbs are experiencing a wave of robberies and burglaries of unprecedented magnitude.
this thread is about SNL satire, and also about the supposed unfairness with which such satire is targeted. Your post actually reinforces the point that such satire is indeed targeted ... because any attempts to satirize Obama or Michelle will be met with objections and accusations / implications of racism.









^^^ it's factual !!! But as you prove, any attempt by mainstream media to discuss the facts of the issue in any form is met by accusations of racism. It is for this reason that Barack and Michelle Obama have not been subjected to the same sort of SNL satires as have white politicians. And it is also for this reason that SNL's satirizing of McCain and Palin represents a clearly biased presentation.
(snip)"Oak Park, IL: Another Week of Armed Robberies, in spite of the handgun ban
It seems that armed robbery in Oak Park, Illinois is becoming a weekly topic for me to write about, and since armed robbery is up 250% this year, I have had plenty of material. This week is no different, with multiple armed robberies reported - despite the longstanding handgun ban which only serves to leave Oak Park’s law abiding citizens without a means of self defense:
Two criminals drove their car onto the apron of a garage on the 1100 block of Wenonah Avenue in Oak Park, IL, blocking the door. One of the criminals then walked up to the homeowner holding a revolver and an empty bag. The robber ordered the homeowner to put his valuables in the bag and then to lie on the ground while the criminal escaped.
An Oak Park man walking down Division Street when an SUV pulled out of an alley and blocked the sidewalk. The driver demanded the man’s valuables, and when he refused, the driver told his passenger to get the gun out, and the passenger reached under the seat. The man was robbed of his cell phone and a small amount of cash.
A quick recap as to why the armed robbery has increased: First, a slim majority of Oak Park residents voted to ban handgun ownership, under penalty of a $1000 - $2000 fine. This fine, combined with the fact that it was the law, prevented Oak Park’s law abiding citizens from having a gun for self defense. Criminals ignored the handgun ban, and continued to commit shootings and armed robberies, since a $1000 to $2000 fine for gun possession won’t deter someone who is willing to commit serious felonies like robbery or murder. Criminals recognized that Oak Park citizens are easy targets, and began robbing them at an increasing rate. Next, Oak Park ran short on money, and decided to cut police protection just as the armed robberies were increasing, while simultaneously wasting money trying to keep the likely unconstitutional handgun ban, instead of acting reasonably and repealing the handgun ban."(snip)
