    Parody of the president is a good thing. What always gripes me is SNL never lampooned Obama at all. Sycophantic cowards.

    They did.
    Portrayed, yes. Never mocked. Please to be finding some skit digging in on Obama and I'll concede.
    The problem with being ridiculous is it produces a lot of well deserved ridicule. No one is buying the idea that Daddy is ordinary President flawed. He’s in a class by himself.
    Huh?
    Ask your nurse when she comes by.
    Were you trying to say I have a problem with SNL going after Trump? That is not the case. Trump is stupid to make a fuss over it.
    Then I think my comment was quite clear.
    Not really. I'm not comparing Obama/SNL to Trump/SNL. I do agree Trump is in a class of his own. I'm looking backwards to Bush, Clinton & Bush to compare with Obama.
    They are all a very ordinary level of flawed. You’d have to get to Nixon talking to portraits to approach the absurdity of this Presidency. And Nixon was having a breakdown. Daddy is mentally ill by nature.

    I don't have time to debate this. I'm needed at the polo grounds.

    Trump is stupid, thus it is far easier for comedians to make fun of him.

    No drama Obama basically hid his last 4 years. Literally his biggest comment his last four years was coming out for gay marriage.

    Obama was super self conscious when it came to what he said, you guys made fun it with the teleprompter comments. He just didn't have mannerisms and such that allowed to be ridiculed.

    They did bag on Hillary. They didn't really bag on McCain, but they did Palin. I remember the skit on 08 bagging on the DNC, with how they handled the debate between Obama and Hillary. Bush was kinda like Trump but in a different way. They bagged the shit out of Bill Clinton.

    I am not going to go through all the Obama skits. I'm sure you can find where they bagged on him. But I would say, like anything else, they are looking for ratings. Bagging on Trump gave them good ratings. Bagging on Obama didn't.

    In a thread about Trump. Where are you talking about Obama?
    Because commies are commieing and Obama is the head of the opposition organization. Fuck you're a blind shill.
    It’s hard to figure out why so many people want to kill Sled.
    Commie sense of entitlement get dinged? Poor little comrade.

    Don’t be testy. It just seems unfair that I’m paying all these taxes and you’re not benefiting.
