Currently we owe 800 billion dollars to China, Unemployment is hovering around 10%, and we are looking to spend billions on a universal health care plan…. All the while Obama has attacked China on its green standards. This is primary fodder for SNL to spoof on the president, or are you dare I say a socialist and think Obama should never be mentioned in a negative light?? NEWS FLASH every president has received flack, why is Obama any different? You should really consider what you are saying before you speak again.

I won’t lay out everything here, I normally have diarrhea of the keyboard as it is. Anyway, no President (or candidate) has ever been safe from SNL. I still remember Bob Dole and his Chair in the Real World skit. Funny stuff. Also, its not like McCain was off limits during any of his runs. To even try and make that claim is ludicrous.

Taste is subjective. Obviously you can dislike SNL all you want. To suggest though, that there is a conservative, anti-Obama bias from a show doing nothing more than what it has always done, to every president, is ridiculous. This super sensitivity you’re showing is a bit strange. Thanks for propagating another double standard though. It is almost like you’re trying to give right wingers ammunition.

I have never been an SNL fan, I have never watched it live, only bits on re-runs. With that bit of disclosure up front, the only real question is not whether it is conservative or not but whether it is funny or not. It has been conservative for quite some time as far as I can tell. I remember way back in the early 90’s in the run-up to the Gulf War they had a fake press conference where reporters asked a fake Gen. Collin Powell all sorts of questions that would make him reveal sensitive military information. One of the reports even looked like Saddam Hussein. Pretty conservative although not very funny (in contrast “In Living Color” ran the same gag with Jim Carry as an admiral answer questions with answers like “We already didn’t answer that question”. Pretty funny).

The Daily Show routinely skewers Mr. Obama and does so very accurately, which is why it is funny. So, without having seen the skits, the only question is do they make real, telling points, like Tina Fey’s impersonation of Ms. Palin, or are the flat and stilted with ideology? I suspect the latter but you will have to tell me.

Call it what you want…..the people want and need jobs…not ego
