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?
Trump is stupid, thus it is far easier for comedians to make fun of him.
Not my poont.
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.
There was plenty to dig into with Obama. You don't see it because you liked him so much, and that's fine. Problem is that SNL writers fell into the same fanboy trap. As you say, they went after everyone else, so why did Obama get a pass?
Re McCain, I saw a skit once that I haven't been able to find anywhere again. It was backstage at a debate, and the other candidates start laughing at McCain for something. But in McCain's mind, they transform into Viet Cong, complete with the conical hats and everything. Brutal and hilarious. Probably a good reason why it's not posted anywhere.
I'm not that big of a fan of Obama. I'm being genuine when I say he did shit his last 4 years. Instead of trying to work with Congress he sat on his ass and whined about it. To my knowledge, he never reached out to them, even shit like playing golf with them and having beers.
What could they have made fun of? I'm asking genuinely what you would have made fun of with Obama in a skit setting to get ratings.
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.
I hear you’re not getting your share of “free shit”. Is there anything I can do to help?
That's your line.
Don’t be testy. It just seems unfair that I’m paying all these taxes and you’re not benefiting.
Whats the most you've paid comrade?
I was told we wouldn’t be measuring our dicks today. You can feel free to share though.
I see, you haven't paid shit. Thanks for confirming.
Oh fuck off. You don't answer simple questions either dick lips. The king of dodge ball here getting pissy that someone won't give them their tax bill. Priceless shit.

Eh, in fairness some Presidents are easier to poke at than others because, as one poster said, of a particular way of speaking or doing goofy shit. Not so much policy, but just who they are. They made fun of Ford for falling and really nothing else, they made fun of Bush I and II almost entirely because of their speech patterns: Bush I with his New England, stiff, nasally voice and the goofy way he used his hands when speaking, Bush II with his pretend-cowboy routine and goofy facial expressions, and also the Cheney-is-the-real-president angle. They poked at Carter for the way he spoke (Akroyd did JC) and they had him in all kinds of weird scenario shit that was funny and basically made fun of him for being southern and goofy. With Clinton they spared nothing and went straight after his womanizing and his fear of Hillary - they still do. They make fun of Hillary for being butch and overly serious. One could argue having Leslie Jones play Michelle Obama is its own lampoon. The stuff with Reagan wasn't very memorable, and ranged from harmless to poking fun at him for slipping at the end, but I don't recall SNL beating him up too much. I might have forgotten though.
I'm not going to pretend there isn't something to what you're saying ... we know that, generally, Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general - artists of a sort - lean left. There was probably a combination of that, and arguably Obama didn't give them as much material. Good speaker. Smart. Etc. And, if you want to criticize Obama, maybe that's the area: he was too careful and aside from healthcare one could argue he never really got into the game. He was kind of boring ... Baldwin is a huge Trump hater though. That's for sure.

What question won't I answer? And I have said on the board I have written large checks to the IRS.

Never claimed to be a gigolo. Anything else you want to make up?
This is the kind of expression of his vanity that even the other guys in the Tug acknowledged the other day. There is no doubt at all that the SNL skits drive him absolutely insane.
And, if I'm being honest, Baldwin, who I think is funny most of the time (Canteen Boy and Schwetty Balls), is slipping a little in this one. The guy who did Clinton back in the day was a fucking ace. Carvey doing Bush I was hilarious. Ferrell doing Dubya was funny as fuck too.
Baldwin doing Trump was solid to good early on, but it's not as good anymore. Can't put my finger on it.

A complete fucking pussy? Sure.
But not a street fighter.
