Having spent a considerable portion of their first episode skewering Romney last week,
the folks at Saturday Night Live's special "Weekend Update Thursday"
program decided to lampoon President Obama, although in doing so, the
mockery wasn't as full-throated and nasty as it was against Romney, who
was portrayed as a plutocratic racist.
Comedian Jay Pharaoh
portrayed the president as overconfident and somewhat delusionally
optimistic about the nation's economic outlook, but Obama was spared
mockery of his many gaffes. Romney, you will recall, was mercilessly
taken to task last week for the comments he made at a private
fundraiser, and made to look like a out-of-touch bigot in the process.
