    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.

    Bill Clinton got it good most of the time.

    You can’t do a lot of Obama parody before you put the audience to sleep. And because he could be self-deprecating, he just didn’t present the giant inflatable ego that Daddy has. The targets aren’t alike.

    Watch them yourself, because you don't remember does not mean they didn't happen.

    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.

    My largest tax bill will have been for 2018.

    There's just nothing other than Trump jokes. Nothing at all.
