| #11 Agreed on the aura loss, NS. But he's been called weak in the international press a lot recently. Given his ego and insecurity, it's quite possible he'll try something extreme to show he's really powerful. And we've still got Congress to deal with. Pelosi and Reid plan to ram public option health care through this Fall, and there are several ways they can do it if the blue dog Dems yield ... as some seem to be doing. So ... mocked? Sure. But not out of the game yet IMO |

| #10 No, the messiahship is over. And that wasn't interference, it was mockery. The messiahship can't be restored. And he doesn't seem as clever as Clinton in 93 when his health care tanked. This is not a reprieve. It is not even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning. A Walter Chronkite moment as it were. Things amy get a lot worse for us all, but they won't get better for Zero. |

| #8 But it's way early for conservatives to break out the champagne. Ogabe does have majorities in both chambers. We've won a temporary reprieve, at best. |

| #7 These aren't shots at Ogabe's program. SNL staffers are just miffed that he hasn't checked off every single item on their wish list. They're also running interference for Ogabe on the charge that he's a radical. He's tried to push every one of these things. The reason conservatives and some independents are so angry is because he's pushed these initiatives. They've not come to fruition not because Ogabe hasn't pushed them - it's because conservatives have pushed back, and won reprieves, despite heavy media support in the form of propaganda blitzes in favor of Ogabe's program and a blackout on conservative counter-arguments. |

| #4 That's how I read it, too. Pressure to stiffen liberal spines in the face of the Tea Parties. |

| #3 Nah, SNL acting like a jilted lover. "He doesn't return my calls for a public health-care option, he isn't pulling out of Afghanistan, and he hasn't prosecuted the CIA!" |

| #2 Heard about this, thanks for putting the clip up NS. This means that BHO is now a valid comedic target. I hope, I hope! |
