    I haven't watched SNL in a very long time - I guess since it stopped being funny a few decades ago. Looked at the vid, did notice one thing - they made fun of Obamacare a lot more than they made fun of Obama himself. Looks like THAT Messiah is off-limits. Oh well - baby steps for the writers at SNL.

    Same thing - making fun of Obamacare IS making fun of Obama-san. Watch SNL falling out of grace, and something bad and unexplained to begin to happen to them...

    Remember this one ?​

    Charlton Heston: Over it's 15-year history, "Saturday Night Live" has offended more than a few of its viewers. In fact, it's probably safe to say that, at one time or another, the show has offended every single one of its viewers. It will therefore come as no surprise that, week after week, the mail brings hudnreds of angry, even ugly, letters. Tonight, I've been asked to read one of these letters. This is dated March 19th, 1978:

    [Heston reads letter ]

    "Nausea. Violent, gut-churning nausea. That's the only way I can describe the revulsion I felt as I watched last week's episode of the show called "Saturday Night Live". Vulgar, snide, purile. Devoid of either taste or intellectual content, let alone humor. "Saturday Night Live" displays in show after dreadful show, its snickering contempt for even the appalling standards of network television. What kind of world are we living in, that this is considered entertainment? As I sat stunned by this abomination, quite literally sick to my stomach, it occurred to me that your cast and writers resemble nothing so much as a collection of spoiled children throwing a party the weekend Mommy and Daddy are away. Well, NBC, perhaps its time Mommy and Daddy came home, assumed their parental responsibilities, and removed this weekly affront to the mind and spirit from our television screens.
    Signed: Charlton Heston."

    No, there is nothing at all funny about the (*)(*)(*)(*) storm that BH Obama has brought us. I gave his worthless ass the benefit of the doubt when he was elected. He promised to do health care and all other government programs on C-SPAN - remember that - but a hand full of dems and their progressive handlers produced this stinking crap behind closed doors without one vote from Republicans.

    There were no cell phones during the Reagan years.

    What you are failing to understand is that we already know SNL revolves around poking fun at the right. What we are seeing currently, is them poking fun of the left/ Something they have been hesitant to do in a very long time. Jay Leno excluded, of course.

    I didn't see it, but I am very surprised NBC would ever air anything derogatory regarding President Obama. General Electric the parent company of NBC has received numerous government contracts and tax advantages in exchange for corporate support of Obama's election and subsequent re-election. We see this in the progressive bias displayed on NBC / MSNBC news shows and programming. The pundits are typically very left. More recently, I believe Comcast purchased shares from GE, so now they own controlling shares of NBC. Perhaps Comcast is more conservative leaning than GE was, and the programming will be less progressive based.

    I do not think this is a coincidence, linking the sale of NBC away from GE, to now, open criticism of our President. Good for Comcast to not be intimidated by our government and in particular "Emperor" Obama the way that General Electric was.

    It is very clear that our President is anti-capitalist and it's about time Corporations took notice.

    Stop supporting the Socialist!

    He is going to drag America into financial ruin.
