Political Punch

Obama is not hte first blakc president there was another black president before him. He has been erased from history and the other 7 presidents before Gorge Washington. If you go to Google and you type in the first black president you will see that there was a black presiden tbefore Obama and 8 presidents before Gorge Washington.

I believe this plan was in the making for a long time.
Lorne Michaels is a huge supporter of John Mccain. His son even worked for Michaels. He was simply trying to pull the old Rush Limbaugh routine. It also reminds me of Rupert Murdoch....trying to control elections through the media. As long as corrupt individuals like Lorne Michaels continue to play with the minds of the American people we will not have a true democracy. Lorne Michaels was absolutely aware of the fact that it was aired the weekend before a highly competitive primary. Just a coincidence....not very likely! Who are you Mr. Michaels to screw with my freedom. I am happy to say I will never watch SNL again. Besides that Mr. Michaels' creative endeavors have sucked for a very long time.

I cannot watch SNL any longer. Forget whether they have picked Hillary (though is there any question, with Tina Fey?: a white man in black face is intolerable.

I love a good joke and have watched SNL since its inception. I have watched and laughed at their spoofs on people I admire. I did not laugh at the last SNL. They were supporting a candidate. I don't watch SNL for political agenda. I will not make an effort to watch SNL again. I am disappointed.

This country has turned into a continent of cynics and pessimests who spit in the face of anything optimistic or new. For me this whole presidential election comes down to one question. What kind of world do you want to live in? From what I've been hearing, especially on this comment thread, is that you would rather live in a world of fear rather than take the time or effort to envision, let alone work for, something new and possibly better. Given the current state of the U.S. economy and our standing in the world, it would seem to me that instead of bashing someone who wants to improve all of this, you ridicule him for not seemingly not be as tough, mean or ruthless as the other candidates. Sen. Obama is being tough, very tough indeed. He is refusing to go down into the bowels of hell just to win an election. He is sticking to the premise that this country is better than that. In this current climate of cyncism, despair and fear, that is a lot tougher to do than slander, rant and rave about the media being mean to you.
Don't you get it yet!!! If you put a tough, meanspirited, divisive person in the white house you are going to get a tough, meanspirited and ruthless country. Doesn't sound to appetizing to me. And before anyone starts to rant about how our President needs to be tough because the world is a dangerous place, I am very much aware of that as well. However, I also realize that except for a small fraction of fundamentalists around the world, the majority of people everywhere just want to be happy and raise families that have a chance to be happy. Even though cultures may differ, the common thread is, has and always will be the pursuit of happiness. So again I will ask the american people to ponder the question - what kind of world, country do you want to live in and leave for your children?

If Obama reacts that way to SNL skits how will he stand up to being berated by those enemies of the United States he claims he wants to meet with. Hope they don't say anything to hurt his feelings since seems so defensive.

OBAMA - truth be told..it hurts!!
you are no innocent.

Obama was joking. Candidates do that all the time.

Should we have taken McCain seriously when he sang "Bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beach Boy's "Barbara Ann" song?

OBAMA DID NOT WHINE HE JUST TOLD THE TRUTH!!! SHE IS JEALOUS OF OBAMA AND TRIED TO TURN THE TABLE, BUT IT DIDNT WORK!!! SHE THINKS SHE WON BIG IN OHIO BUT THE REPUBLICANS SAID THEY ALL VOTED FOR HER SO OBAMA WOULDN'T WIN AND BE ABLE TO BEAT MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER!! THEY KNOW MCCAIN CAN BEAT HILLARY BUT FEEL OBAMA WILL BEAT MCCAIN!! SO SHE DIDNT STOP OBAMA'S MOMENTUM ONE BIT (THEY WERE ALMOST EVEN IN TEXAS WHERE HE WAS 20 POINTS BEHIND 2 WEEKS EARLIER) AND SHE THINKS SHE'S SLICK BY TRYING TO PUT OUT ALL THOSE LIES AND RUMORS BEFORE THE CONTESTS BUT THE JOKE IS ON HER AND THE REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH IF OBAMA DOESNT WIN!!! OBAMA 08'!!!

What a crybaby. How's he gonna stand up to the RNC?

If Obama does not respond as it was thrown at him, how can he lead the country where there are so many enemies that are ready to do anything so that this country belongs to them?

See the difference in experience btn Hillery and Obama, in a simple manner.

I do not disagree with Hillery if she does anything to get elelcted. That is the way it should go.

Come on folks....SNL did a great job...

sexism is alive and we don't seem to get worried about that....but racism we tread careful.......
Women did not get to vote before Black men did...but somehow that is never talked about during this whole mess.

I'll allow that SNL was ignorant of it's line offering "Obama" a pillow.
But was Hillary ignorant? Minutes before MLK walked out of that hotel room...he had a pillow fight with Andrew Young.

Does Hillary understand the end of dreams?
Is she really that selfish?

I think she is...the only way she survived being one of the goofy looking girls was to play up her brains and ambitions. It has warped her.

This is a dangerous unstable female.

I'm not sure that this:

"Well, we are in the middle of a very close race right now in Texas, and we may not even know the final results until morning. We do know that Senator Clinton has won Rhode Island, and while there are a lot of votes to be counted in Ohio, it looks like she did well there too, and so we congratulate her on those states. We also know that we have won the state of Vermont. And we know this – no matter what happens tonight, we have nearly the same delegate lead as we did this morning, and we are on our way to winning this nomination."

(see entire speech March 4 at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/us/politics/04text-obama.html)

consititues whining. Especially when compared to this from Senator Clinton:

MR. WILLIAMS: I -- well, here's another important topic, and that's NAFTA, especially where we're sitting here tonight. And this is a tough one depending on who you ask. The Houston Chronicle has called it a big win for Texas, but Ohio Democratic Senator Brown, your colleague in the Senate, has called it a job-killing trade agreement. Senator Clinton, you've campaigned in south Texas. You've campaigned here in Ohio. Who's right?

SEN. CLINTON: Well, can I just point out that in the last several debates, I seem to get the first question all the time. And I don't mind. I -- you know, I'll be happy to field them, but I do find it curious, and if anybody saw "Saturday Night Live," you know, maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow. (Laughter, boos.) I just find it kind of curious that I keep getting the first question on all of these issues. But I'm happy to answer it.

(entire debate transcript can be found at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/26/us/politics/26text-debate.html?pagewanted=all)

I'd like to remind Senator Clinton, and her supporters, that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And if you do throw those stones, please do not be surprised to find the glass shards in place of your once majestic view. Shards which, in times past, have beeb the bain of her existance. Unfortuneately, I'm afraid Hillary may yet again find herself negatively portrayed in the media should we decide to dredge up the scandals surrounding the path to, and the duration of, the first Clinton presidency.

Attack Senator Obama if you must, but please do not scream for mercy when those attacks launch our media into probing your own personal scandals, moral deficits, and personal values.

Income tax-returns included.

I agree the skit was racist as could be. But don't focus on it, Obama's right.

Let SNL continue to release skits like this. They're on the line and they know it. People might not like it, but trust me SNL's nervous right about now.

And everyone CERTAINLY knows Tina Fey's on a one-person anti-Obama crusade. I mean could she suck up to Hillary anymore? Is that even possible?

What a baby? Give me a break? The Clintons have whined, complained and screamed their way to more victories than anyone I know.

Apparently people in Ohio really ARE dumb enough to vote based on a skit, so heck i don't blame him. Don't worry SNL has plenty more useless,Obama-bashing skits to come. The problem? Everyone sees through them now.

Okay, SNL represents the only 2% favorable coverage of Hillary's campaign versus the 98% favorable coverage of the Obama campaign by -- MSNBC, CNN, FOX, NBC, NEWSWEEK.

Just look at the people invited to every show on CNN. Only Paul Begala is a Clinton person versus all the rest of the pundits always against Hillary.

When Hillary wins a primary, they say she played dirty. And they suggest how Obama can get back at her. When Obama wins, they say how wonderful. Then they ridicule Hillary and ask her to drop out of the race.

What an audacity.

What these pundits forget is that, the American people understand that Hillary is the one who actually can do something about our economy, the wars, and the plight of the middle class.
And, God is on her side also.

Obama accused Hillary of whinning during their debate in Ohio. Yet, the first thing he did after his losses in Ohio and Texas is "WHINE".

Have you all noticed that Obama always whines when he loses? It shows that he is not mature to be president.

I think SNL is very bias towards Hillary. Tina Fey is a strong supporter of Hillary. Her comment on SNL has been helpful to Clinton..Lets play fair and balance here TIna

you think he is wining now ,just wait until someone starts running with this train of thought.on the rezko house /lot deal according to 3 different realtors that i work with{i gave them the senario without telling them that itconcerned politics}to purchase a empyty lot the lenders will only lend 60 to 70 percent of the sale price,{that means the most that would have been lent would be $437500.00 and thats on the high side]so heres the point how did mrs rezko get a loan for $500,000.00 secondly according to thease same realtors there is not a loan company out there that would loan $500,000.00 to someone{mrs rezko}that made only $37k a year.also chances are the same loan processor did the loans on both properties at the least the same title/escrow company did.this whole thing smells to high heaven but saint obama is the candidate thats honest?give me a break. for any skeptic out there talk to a loan person or a realtor and run the senario by them ,youll get the same responce i did.to be blunt there was fraud somewhere in the deal.
