Barack Obama’s Surprise Cameo on Saturday Night Live
This past Saturday, SNL poked some fun at the democratic candidates. There was a Halloween party at the Clinton’s house and all the democratic nominees were in attendance. The skit was pretty funny until Barack Obama made a surprise cameo, showing up in a mask of himself. Hillary asks why he is dressed as himself and he says it’s because he has nothing to hide. Usually when people do SNL they do something to be funny, not Barack though, he made zero attempt at anything remotely resembling humor. Come on dude, Mike Gravel is way funnier than this and he doesn’t even have to try!

Great clip! But yes Obama could have at least tried to be a little funny, rather then spewing propaganda.
He should have at least dressed as a robotic version of himself, oh wait, that is who he is.
I actually think he was better off playing it safe, sticking with what he knows. I would rather he advertise via a cameo than try to be funny and fail miserably.
Matt I sort of agree, but overall I’d rather him fail and perhaps come across as, well a human, then to just put in a plug for himself.
I think he should have made some attempt at humor, it’s SNL! The writers could have taken care of making it unlikely for him to fail in his attempt to be funny. This was a great opportunity for him to get rid of his “stiff” tag and he blew it.
If he was funny, then it would’ve been great… but if he wasn’t? He would have never heard the end of it. Look at Hillary’s attempt at humor and “laughter.” It just came off as creepy. And part of this SNL skit.
(See how I came full-circle? Hee.)
Too true about Hillary’s attempt to “loosen up”, it was rather disturbing.
It should be Bill’s job to naturally loosen up Hillary but that doesn’t appear to be working properly. I think they both need re-booting.
