The sad, but true Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit shown over the weekend of President Obama pokes fun of the promises he made not only to his country, but himself. He runs through several checklists of things Obama said he would do once in office have been forgotten. Some democrats are upset over the skit, and republicans just laugh.
The skit begins with Obama saying: “There are those on the right who are angry. They think that I’m turning this great country into something that resembles the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, but that’s just not the case. Because when you look at my record it’s very clear what I’ve done so far and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it.”
For many years, Saturday Night Live was banned in Utah, but can now be seen on NBC, channel 5.

for those who ask, "Where's the change?" I'd remind you that the stimulus bill alone has over $60 billion in renewable energy investments, that the equal pay act is now law, that federal restrictions on stem cells are over, that Obama delivered on the middle class tax cut he promised, and that the White House has tighter ethics rules and broader transparency than any previous administration. Let's not forget that, like he promised, Obama is withdrawing forces from Iraq, his justice department has initiated a torture probe and the DEA has been ordered to stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries. He's meeting the Afghanistan question with a critical skepticism and the kind of commitment to clear strategic goals that any anti-war Democrat should appreciate. On September 23rd at the United Nations, he said, "On my first day in office, I prohibited -- without exception or equivocation -- the use of torture by the United States of America." He did that too.
Oh, and by Thanksgiving he will almost surely sign a health care bill, the details of which are still unclear, but the outcome of which will almost certainly be the closest we've ever come to achieving universal health care.
Rob - you are a typical left wing nut job. You need to get your facts straight before you open your mouth - or in this case begin typing.
I thought SNL was hilarious and couldnt beliebe NBC would air the truth, but lo and behold!!!
