I don't know what's funnier. The fact that the whole skit was about Obama not being liberal enough and not pushing the liberal agenda fast enough. Or the fact that CNN actually felt the need to fact check an SNL skit. Have they ever felt that need when SNL goes after a conservative? Heck, for that matter, have they ever felt that way for any politician SNL has joked about other than 'The One?'

                                <EM>Saturday Night Live</EM> didn't pull any punches when lampooning President Obama on the weekend and some analysts say that should be a red flag for the administration. A comedy skit purported to come to the president's defense against right-wing complaints that he's a "Hitler." No such thing. "It's very clear what I've done so far—and that is nothing," said comedian Fred Armisen on the comedy program posing as Obama. "Almost one year and nothing new to show for it."

                        When "your friends start talking about you like this, the White House should listen," wrote <EM>Washington Post</EM> blogger Jonathan Capehart. The sketch definitely signals that the media honeymoon is over for Obama, pop culture professor Robert Thompson tells CNN, but he cautioned it would be a mistake to read too much into it. "Comedy is going after the people in power," he said.
