4. Nah, they have it easy.
Obama's the perfect "straight man" in comedic terms, having to deal with humorous morons and imbeciles at every turn of the path.

While the *resident (God, I love typing that) often was the "simple fool", a comedic element of simplicity and bumbling, Obama caricatures can easily be paired up with no end of silly, confused, babbling morons.

8. They haven't started on Michelle yet--wonder what they'll do
She's sort of a blank slate as far as the late night circuit goes. We'll have to wait and see how they handle her.

5. Me too, because NBC doesn't allow viewing of their videos
outside the US. Funny a month ago you could watch SNL videos from here. Next they'll take away the news clips.
