SNL's "Rock Obama" Skit Here For The Duration.

Share |

NBC's Saturday Night Live has been poking fun at our presidents going back to Chevy Chase's clumsey rendition of Gerald R. Ford.

They had fun with The elder President Bush and his 2nd in command Dan Quayle. They really gave it to Bill Clinton and every once in a while they'd take a shot at Vice President Albert Gore.

However, in the case of the unsophistocated George W. Bush and his diabolical sidekick, Richard B. Cheney, the material just kept coming fast and furious for all years of thier Christian Jihad.

SNL's been having fun with President Barack H. Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden going back well before the election.

A Hero's Welcome In Kosovo For Vice President Biden

Kosovo children cheer as US VP Joe Biden arrived in Kosovo's capital Pristina, 21 May 2009

Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. received a hero's welcome Thursday as one of the highest-level officials yet to visit Kosovo since its disputed declaration of independence from Serbia last year.

"Kosovo's independence was the only viable option for stability in the region," Biden told a special sitting of the Kosovo parliament in Pristina. Cheered on by a huge crowd, Vice President Biden's motorcade had made its way towards the parliament along streets lined by billboards declaring: "Welcome and thank you."


"Your independence is irreversible," he said in a speech that received several standing ovations from the ethnic Albanian dominated assembly
"The success of an independent Kosovo is a priority for our administration and our country."


The US vice president is considered one of Washington's strongest advocates of the independence of ethnic Albanian-majority Kosovo, which declared its secession from Serbia in February last year. Coming after trips to Bosnia and Serbia, Biden's visit to Kosovo is his final stop on a tour to demonstrate fresh US engagement in Europe and the volatile Balkan region. Earlier, after meeting with President Fatmir Sejdui, Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and other leaders, Biden said Kosovo awarded him with "The Golden Medal of Freedom," the highest decoration in the Balkan territory.

"Thank you... for honouring me with this medal... I don't deserve it, but I received it on behalf of the United States," Biden told reporters. Local media hailed the visit of Biden, one of the strongest supporters of Kosovo's independence when he served as a senator in the late 1990s.

"Mr. Biden is one of the few politicians in the world that has long believed in the independence of Kosovo. For his contribution to changing our destiny, Biden is our man," the Express daily said Thursday in a commentary. Kosovo's decision to split from Serbia on February 17, 2008 is strongly opposed by Belgrade and Serbs, who number little more than 100,000 in the disputed territory of two million inhabitants. During the Clinton Administration, US warplanes took part in NATO's 1999 bombing of Serbia to end a violent crackdown on separatist Kosovo Albanian rebels by forces loyal to late president Slobodan Milosevic.

Sarah Palin: Still Defending Her Diarrhea Of The Mouth

For former President George W. Bush, the war in Iraq was a crusade. Gov. Sarah Palin called it “a task from God. However, in an interview with ABC News last week, the one-time vice presidential candidate tried to explain away her verbage when referring to the bloody war in Iraq as a task from God. In the process, Palin contradicted herself on previous statements that human activity did not cause global warming.

She also defended asking for federal earmarks for Alaska after painting herself as a one-woman crusade against such wasteful spending, and not just as the Executive, but also too, when she was the Mayor of Wasilla. However, after the campaign we learned that she actually lobbied for them then as well. The self-proclaimed caribou hunting, lipstick wearing, snow machine riding, hockey mom seemed as unprepared and poorly spoken as she did during last years campaign.

I’m not counting Palin out just quite yet, but if there has ever been a political figure besides Joe Biden that you can count on to say the wrong thing at the worst time, it’s Sarah Palin. The difference is that the things that Biden says are silly and not well thought-out. Palin’s verbal diarrhea is calculated and routed in her extremist views. A case in point would be here desire to see abortion outlawed including in cases of rape and incest. However, you have to admit that Joseph R. Biden Jr. was dead-balls accurate when he said that Sarah Palin was a “backwards step” for woman. I think that was the point when even the most disenfranchised former Hillary supporter said WTF?

Make no mistake; Sarah Palin was a more formidable opponent than John McCain could have been in two of his lifetimes, yet his greatest misfortune in life besides being a prisoner of war, was picking Sarah Palin as “his” vice presidential running mate. No candidate will ever be successful with this woman at the bottom of the ticket. Palin will rise and fall all on her own as she's done her entire life and it surprises me, knowing what we now know about her, the she would have accepted the co-pilots chair to begin with. That's not how it is in her married life, so it stands to reason that the same would apply in her political life.
