SNL skit destroys Obama economic policies
Saturday Night Live took aim, and fired a satire bomb at the Obama administration last night, taking aim at the illogical logic of the Obama administrations social and economic policies. Take a look.
Geez, who knew that SNL had it in them. This piece is right on target, right on topic, and could not have been timed any better.

I saw the sketch, i really liked the sketch, but i can’t say that it felt like much of a shot at Obama as much it did as a shot at debt in general. If this is a condemnation of Obama then it’s unbridled support of Clinton and George Bush Sr., and far, far, far, far, far more critical of the politicies of Bush Jr., and Reagan.
Ooops, didn’t mean to come out that hard on Reagan. His foreign aggression and tax cuts didn’t smell too sweet of fiscal responsibility, but aren’t anything close to how Bush raped our country financially.
Plus, considering how nicely the american economy has and is rebounding (yes, jobs are low and will continue to be low. Look for that to turn around by March <– source: Biden and historical trends on recover/job-creation correlation), how much liberal and conservative economists in Washington (not New York) during Bush’s last few months and now during Obama’s 10 month term–people who, in some cases, were philosophically against ideas like bailouts and excessive spending–were adamant that this kind of government spending was the ONLY option given the political-economic climate, it’s really hard to fault Obama’s policies too much.
It’s really easy to say we should spend our money responsibly. Yes. We should. What’s hard is dialing back our definition of “spend”. Time + Government/Business entanglement + Deregulation (Yes. Seriously. We need regulation. This is where I actually go and fault Obama for being slow and resistant to the change that we can really build a good case for).
Alright, i’m boring myself now.
Truman was a war criminal.
