I don't care what you think about Obama, this is a truly awful "attempt" at an impersonation. Do you know why people like Will Ferrel as George Bush? Because he actually impersonated him! This guy just dresses like him and talks about how much he sucks, which isn't even remotely feasible for a President (or any person) to do in the first place. The concept is nutso, the execution is miserable, and the result is another poor skit.It doesn't have to be a Dem/Rep thing. Even Democrats enjoyed the Bill Clinton skits of old. Look up the McDonald's skit on this website and try to convince yourself that its the same show. This was just awful. It wasn't funny and it wasn't worth the time to watch--let alone read reviews for.

Remember when SNL actors were practically guaranteed successful careers? SNL used to be a star-maker. Now... I guess, now, the Daily Show is the star maker. This guy will disappear into obscurity faster than Gary Busey's sex tape.Remember when SNL actors actually tried to do impressions? This guy isn't even making an attempt! He's just talking! He doesn't sound like Obama; he doesn't move like Obama; he doesn't do anything.Remember when SNL was good? Of course you don't. Because you're a 14-to-35-year-old Internet dweller, and SNL hasn't been good for decades.

The concept of the skit is not necessarily a terrible idea. Whether you like Obama or not, good jokes and good impressions can make everybody laugh in a way that hopefully also offers productive critiques of his administration. This Obama impression is horrible. And from what I've gathered reading these reviews, this obvious fact has not been said nearly enough and barely if at all. Based on the first page, it seems people would much rather have a POLITICAL DEBATE in a place that is reserved for discussing AN SNL SKIT! What is wrong with you people? Nobody cares about your political opinions here. I wanted to find out if this video offered decent satire beforehand by reading the reviews on this video. I could not find that out. So, I wasted time watching this horrible, horrible attempt of a parody. Then I looked at the reviews and found it very rare for people to actually comment on topic, with only one or two people total addressing the obvious fact that the impression was painfully bad. So, finally, for anybody considering whether or not to watch this, I, the 30-something-th commenter am going to finally let you know that this skit sucks. In fact, it is the worst political SNL skit I've ever seen. Even some recent stuff has been good, but I can remember a very high standard set from way back in the 2000 debates. That was good stuff. If anybody from SNL reads this I ask: what is wrong with you? How did you let this guy do it like that? Why did somebody not watch his impression beforehand? You either ask him to keep working on it or you get somebody else. Even the idea of Obama not getting anything done could be hilarious even where it may be a bit of an exaggeration. The comedy of Obama is really in the fact that - he's not getting as much done as he should, but in spite of this he has also remained extremely likable, and is very convincing speaker. You add to this his tick of occasionally over intellectualizing simple situations and easily something like this could actually be funny and it would make fun of him for all the reasons that actually matter. As is this is a child reciting simple lines dressed in a suit and mulatto face. Yes, amazingly, nobody even mentioned that black face is apparently no longer thought of as politically incorrect or extremely offensive by the people at SNL or NBC or the FCC. But, again, why has none of this been said? and yet even further it was replaced by "Why can't we elect A true patriot?" and "Obama is amazing!!!" At some point you realize, these people are the reason that we have an electoral college in the United States and they should also be good reason for hulu to manage these reviews.
