Looks like NBC’s Saturday Night Live is trying to be Fair and Balanced. In a pretend setting of a press conference the hip show that often addresses Presidential politics was very tough on Barack Obama. Comedian Fred Armisen was in the role of the Commander in chief. Will Forte and Nasim Pedrad portrait Chinese President Hu Jintao and his interpreter.
The spoof addressed in hilariously funny fashion the Health Care Bill, the US national Debt to China and even Cash for Clunkers.
SNL’s awakening is a sign that Obama’s honeymoon is over. Just few months ago the world of comedy had hard time to find anything funny about President Obama. The public revolt against some of the Obama’s policies lead to a totally different line of questioning. For example, while Obama’s administration finds it a great success spending billions of Chinese own debt for buying people’s clunkers – SNL team makes the very funny remark, that China does not want their debt to be repaid with clunkers.
The Administration recently claimed that jobs were saved and created by the Stimulus package in districts that do not even exist. That led the comedians of SNL to make the President in the spoof admit that the number of jobs created by the stimulus money /provided by US debt to China/ is: NONE.

That was a pretty good skit. Owing China that much money might also have implications for our national security.

Like so much comedy, this one certainly had more than a grain of truth to it. The reality is that China does blame us for the economy’s recent ills and we can be sure they will be even less full of understanding if things turn downward again.

It’s amazing. I never thought I’d have that much in common with China, but it appears I do. President Obama has been doing sex to our country too!

Another sign that the honeymoon is truly over. At the supermarket checkout today I glanced at the latest edition of “The Globe”. The headline read “Obama’s gay lover gets revenge” accompanied by a photo of a barechested Obama. Ahh, hope. How quickly it fades.

He-he, Mark, this is a very entertaining conspiracy theory, in my chart only birthers are more fun to read. Have to admit that this guy Sinclair is pushing hard his case. The Globe will probably sell some copies today

I’ve been getting more pissed off at our Community-Organizer-In-Chief every single day. Thank you SNL, I needed that chuckle.

I feel very cheap after watching that. One thing’s for damn sure, I’m demanding dinner and a Broadway show the next time Obama treats me like Mrs. Obama.

OMG, that was funny! Finally, SNL is an equal opportunity offender.

Nothing new about U.S. being in debt. That is what this country is all about. Has been for decades. Americans buy widgets and cars that suck fuel. Guess what? Where are widgets made and where does the fuel come from? Somewhere else, that’s where, and that is where our wealth goes. No wealth left to rebuild our infrastructure. Too bad sucker. Keep voting for the the two party system and that is what you get. Oh yea. Another thing. We also get to fight wars on our own dime and it appears that our “handlers” (Israel) has a thing about Iran. The post-war global economy was designed to distribute wealth from the U.S. and we are the surrugate army for Israel. What a fucking racket!
