Really? Obama Called SNL to Complain about the Skits? Really? Really?

Would some of these people who think this skit was not racist please tell me when putting a black person on a leash was considered politically correct or even acceptable?! Would chains, which essentially serve the same function, be less PC or more PC?

The SNL skit actually included "Obama" putting a dog leash on Al Sharpton. When Al Sharpton tries to approach the place where Obama is making a speech, he gets electrocuted repeatedly.

The Obama skit was the worst of a consistently racist program, but the entire show was racist. There were absolutely ZERO positive images of black people, but there were plenty of negative images. This is not surprising for a show that has one "token" black cast member. In other skits, we saw this single black cast member, this black MAN, belittled in no uncertain terms by a little blonde white GIRL. In another, we saw him stereotyped in the extreme as "Virginiaca"–a ghettoed out black woman who has passed on her bad behavior to her white step-daughter.

Black people, according to this weekend’s episode, are all ghetto, stupid, or dishonest. Black people and anyone who can get past the typical self-righteous indignation reaction and confront modern racism, it is long past time to boycott SNL.

Uh, Mara, guess what? Obama is a lawyer too, ya genius.

Unlike Hillary, Obama can't seem to take a little bit of heat.
Hillary has 16 years experience of being torn apart and handles it like a pro.
Obama? He just whines like a baby who's favorite rattle was taken away.

Real Presidential material there lol....Obama, your inexperience is showing more and more every day!

Keep going Hillary!

THIS IS JUST IN- SNL will be doing a skit of Obama whining to them-- that they do not treat him fairly!!!

There is NO way Obama will be able to stand up to the GOP attack machine! He is such a whiner! At least Hillary can take the heat!

Not necessarily: the best thing the Dems could do is go to Denver, run through a few ballots, and make John Edwards the nominee.

Edwards -- a real Democrat, in contrast to Hillobama, the "post-partisan" DLC identity twins who can't even commit to national health -- has done something in life besides position himself for political office, and appeals to most.

If the Edwards campaign had been as lavishly funded as Hillobama -- and if the conservative "liberal" punditocracy and the "leadership" apparat (who are currently, unsurprisingly, currying favor for the male face of Hillobama) hadn't ridiculed/ignored Edwards, he'd already BE the nominee.

As the U.S. heads into another Depression -- many are already there! -- it'd be nice to have a leader who hasn't ALWAYS inhabited the favulously unimaginative upper middle class.//

p.s. "Patty" is pulling our collective leg: there's no news on a FARC endorsement for Obama (but I'm on somebody's list, I suppose, for searching for it :^)

In the end, demos must choose between a bag of hot air and an empty suit.

The only ones who should be offended are Al and Jesse. I don't see how this cartoon clip on SNL has anything to do with Clinton.

um, i think it was pretty clear that this was a joke. y'all are sounding a little shrill.

BAD PEOPLE EARN BAD MEDIA COVERAGE.

So, have the negative, dismissive, divisive, deceptive, disingenuous and devious Clintons been bad?
Don't answer that. lol

The Clintons are LAWYERS/LIARS!

The media people don't have as much effective intelligence as LAWYERS; and so they are easily played by the whining of the Clintons - LAWYERS!

"YES WE WHINE"

Grow up Mr. Superstar!

Obama tries to play as if he is really cool when actually he cannot take the least bit of scrutiny. He talsk loudly of his judgement, where was his judement when he bought land along with Rezko or when he tried to snub Hillary at the SOU 08. the media didn't highlight these incidents up enough. He has just won small caucuses and lost most primaries where the larger electorate gets to vote. He has benefited disproportionately from delegate rules and has recieved many more delegates per votes recieved. He even tried bullying superdelegates into supporting him. He is the worst politician ever.

????????????????????

Are the anti-Obama people here totally illiterate? The post is about how he was JOKING when he said that. I can't believe there are people here talking as if he really did call SNL.

Calling him a baby? Seriously, grow up.

patty - it seems all our enemies support Obama or Clinton, why shouldn't they the Libs appease them all the time!

So did he call Lorne Michael's or not?

Obama fans like to call Hillary a whiner, that's one of their most prevalent jokes. It's Hillary's supporters who have continually criticized the major networks for their bias and unfair or unequal coverage. Do they still not get it? Evidently, folks on SNL did. Watching the returns on CNN for awhile last night to get the latest numbers, it was obvious that the usual talking heads seemed to be at a loss for their usual spin. Do they get it now? Not really! Are they going to call Obama a whiner now? I don't think so. That would be biased journalism.

FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia–People's Army, a terrorist group) endorses Obama, google the story to find out more.

Is he going to complain to John MaCain's mother when MaCain starts to attack him?

What a baby!

Chan you posted the same info on the last blog. This is about a SNL skit. We're talking about a joke. I just advised the Obama camp to ignore it and perhaps even laugh at the silliness of it all. Hillary laughed at the SNL version of her laugh and her pants suits. After eleven losses in a row for us on the Hillary side until last night we had to learn to laugh at it all. Perhaps you aught to try it once in awhile.

Actually Obama should give up politics and perform on Saturday Night Live as a regular. His performance in the political ring is a joke and he would do well in sketches because he has so much experience in rehearsing his lines.
