'SNL' Destroys Obama Over Spending
Not only timely and topical, but genuinely funny. And unlike the last time they hit him hard, this attack comes from the right. Who knew they had it in ‘em?
Actually, spending is only a secondary concern here. The chief target is The One's disintegrating credibility in selling his statist agenda. Never would I have guessed that the great orator's inability to explain cost savings in ObamaCare would be the subject of late-night mockery this late in the game. No wonder his numbers are at new lows nationally and in the swing state that propelled him to the presidency.
Below the Obama clip you'll find last night's obligatory dig at Palin - although even that one's framed as coming from the DNC and Keith Olbermann, which makes it a double-edged gag about the left's Palin Derangement Syndrome. Is SNL trending ... conservative? Read more here.

It was bound to happen. Once Franken rode to DC on a raft of stuffed ballot boxes, there was nobody 'left' who can compete with his brand of partisan drivel. Sad, really.
Toomuchspin
When SNL starts lampooning Obama's idiocy how far behind can the rest of the lame stream left be?
Moonraker
They are in step with obama when it comes down to it. He's just not acting fast enough for them. Chriss Tingles Matthews would let obama use his tounge for tolit paper, if need be.

Just too good, too real.

2010....The year that starts the clean-up in Washington, DC
2012…The year we take our country back

It will not be funny when China demands payment on the debt. Better start learning Chinese. Maybe we could give them California.
The Lone Conspirator
To some extent, we live at the mercy of fools. We wait patiently, if possible, for them to catch up. My patience is exhausted and I would like to see more people get with the program.

I wonder what happen in the last week that causes SNL, NYT (New York Times did a bad writeup on Obama today), Dowd rips into Obama, and other libs to start turning on Obama? Is it Obama's falling polling numbers, Obama handling of Ft. Hood, Obama decision to for KSM 9/11 trial to be held in NY, Obama second bowing to Japan leader, or/and Oprah mad at Obama and Michelle?

You know its pretty sad when you get fact checked SNL. I guess SNL is going to get attacked by the White House now
USCG(Ret)
the sad thing, is that while funny as he11,it's true
CommonSense4u2
no they are taking jabs at everyone right now in the political field.. they just did one of fox news coverage and the mocked Greta, Rove,and Beck and how they treat panelist... i think the funniest line from that skit was when the mock Rove said, "we lost the king of pop on Obama's watch."
SamMNY
Hmmmmm. SNL might be about to get a smack down from a very sensitive and unforgiving POTUS. Of course - I think much of this was not funny. It made me very uneasy. But - a lot of it is true. Selling us down the Yangtze should not be what he is seeking to do and yet - there he is. What a waste of opportunity.
Walt S
This skit would be a riot if it wasn't TRUE. Bend over America, WE are being f__ked, not China.
VDR
Heads will roll over this out of character skit on NBC. GE president is probably on the phone now. Big surprise BO was criticized...
gold2512
it would be really funny,if it wasn't so true-
Major_Skidmark
Haven't watched this show in 20 yrs. Hasn't been funny in a long time. Looking at the way the people from this show have destroyed their lives thru drugs and hard living I seriously doubt I would let them clean the cat box, much less have them tell me who to vote for.
ShoutOut
Umm-umm-umm...SNL has always been a leading indicator of youth opinion. The lack thereof in the recent elections is even more evidence that the socialist antics of the Hussein Admin. and the democratic controlled congress are driving an even wider crevice between themselves and the American people. In fact, this skit is very daming of the Hussein and his democratic cronies. I submit that the crevice they started has now become and major fissure, the size of which they will be swallowed up and buried by. The sleepers have awakened and I'm loving every minute of it. Power to the People - dispite the little kings in DC>
Marine Mum
Bravo SNL!
Red, White and Blue
So the Great and Wonderful One is now fair game..........quite funny and sadly, a lot of truth in the humor. Bet the White House is working harder on a SNL Summit than a troop/war strategy.
Grace
OK Libs, listen up - no more personal appearances on SNL - Next you will be forbidden to appear on NBC at all.
perry
That was pretty freaking funny.
findthemorons
I wouldn't suspect or believe that SNL and NBC have moved anywhere near the right. SNL can't pass on the opportunities that BHO gives all comedy shows.
Charlie Horse
It would be funny if it were'nt all too true.
fama
SNL be afraid be very afraid, you will now be a target and enemy of the white house. It's amazing what they will do to try to keep the truth from being exposed...You will be classified with the astro turf, with the tea baggers and lets not forget the Prejudice rednecks.... Thanks for speaking the truth..
CAB
I'm betting Obama will do everything he can to get NBC to stop this kind of action against him. Watch and see.
-WE THE PEOPLE-
You may laugh...but it's the truth. Sad isn't it?
econ101
I wonder if CNN is going to fact check this one?
FAILURE-IN-CHIEF
That was way overdue.
Genjiro
How the tables have turned in some 9-10 months. Before never a negative on Obama, and now SNL has down two skits on him. A few MSM have started their negative reports on him. Just goes to show you, if you worship a believed savior and he does not come through, who is the idiot?
Tennessee Veteran
SNL needs to do a similar skit with Obama, Reid and Pelosi on one side and a group representing the American public on the other side. This one would be about Health Care Reform Bills and Cap-and-Trade as well as excessive spending.
Georgia Cricket
Finally, someone on the left can have a sense of humor! This is not a change of heart, SNL is still liberal, but they found their funny bone! Very good, SNL.
uteinutah
Obama is an easy target for SNL. If you listen closely to any of his "speeches", it is apparent that he is clueless about anything that is important. The American people had better get serious about getting this stumbling, bumbling tyrant removed before he completely destroys our nation.
DUMBocratNoMore
Very funny, very true. I wonder why the change of heart at SNL, a very well known liberal show....Hmmm makes me wonder why they want to jump
ship. They coddled the Messiah during the election.
Tom from Ohio
That is some funny stuff. Could it be that the liberal TV world is starting to understand basic economics?
USMC Wolf
Now, now Atticus, if you don't like SNL bashing Obama and using truth to do it, you should have been livid about the baseless childish attacks on Palin.
hurtzallot
No disrespect to the Chinese leader Hu Jintao or SNL but I couldn't imagine our President as a pitcher, only a catcher. The masculine role is better left to an Alpha Male which our President is not. Intriguing.
Gary-Illinois
SNL really has`nt been funny sence the 70`s but This is funny !
love
SNL also showed Palin/Beck elected 2012 and the end of the world.
GeeBee
While SNL has gone through good and bad times, their political humor has been fairly balanced over the years.

Atticus Finch.....AKA Atticus Sphincter:
Uh..............it's a comedy show. If they destroyed anything it was the rest of the 90 minutes, pretty lame. And where the hell was Tina Fey/Sarah Palin?
They've done what all liberal outlets have done, they've moved on. Why are some still so infatuated with Sarah? Does she threaten you or your ideology? Madam President has a pleasant ring, get used to it.
lewrod
The president doesn't like criticism. This may make him start to use his battle cry: "bend over, I'll drive!.
keonimana
GASP! I'm beginning to like SNL again LOL
RageRoid
Wow! I didn't vote for the guy and I certainly think BHO is in the process of pushing our country off the cliff. But I gotta tell ya, that was some pretty rough stuff from SNL (because most of it is accurate).

Pretty much will be how we all fill when our health care is destroyed. But hey, Pelosi will still have her golden policy and the Unions will be covered and not taxed.
