I was just watching the season premiere of Saturday Night Live with Michael Phelps. Overall it was pretty funny. Tiny Fey was spot on with her impersonation of Sarah Palin. Even as a Republican, I had to laugh.
I found it interesting that amongst the barrage of McCain and Palin jokes, there was not one joke that entire night that made fun of Obama. Even during the race between Hillary Clinton and Obama, there were very few jokes poking fun at Barak Obama.
My first thought was that this could be a race thing. There are certainly comedy taboos that apply to Obama and other African American public figures, but none of those taboos are funny, nor apply to Obama. They will also make fun of Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton.
My second thought is obviously the liberal media and SNL writers really want Obama to win so their attacks are solely on McCain and Palin. But then again, they were pretty ruthless to Hillary Clinton and she certainly has a lot of issues in her life to poke fun. SNL certainly has had a lot of fun at Hillary’s expense.
My conclusion is that Barak Obama is a boring guy. Much that came up during the RNC was the fact that Barak has not done anything in his career. And we know very little about his personal life, except that he attends churches where the pastors have questionable character. Aside from that, who is Barak Obama? We don’t know enough about him to make fun of him. He’s just a middle-aged African-American from the Midwest who has sat in the Senate and voted on legislation. He’s never headed a committee nor written a piece of legislation. Really, what do we know if this guy.
My next question is who will be the brave comedian to make the first Barak Obama joke?
