Or is he somehow a Sellout To The Man because he not "cool" and works as a tool for Tina Fey and her boss L.M. on 30 Rock???<BR/><BR/>I'd be more inclined to say that there was/is not much parodying of Obama by Armisen at SNL because: 1) Obama never made a public misstep to parody; and 2) Most of the writers at SNL (whom I suspect are not of color) were/are afraid to attempt a comedic parody for fear of a vitriolic backlash from their brethren in the media. <BR/><BR/>Hell I can't be the only one to notice the man-crush Obberman and Mathews and many others have on "their guy"???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-50442515658918522272008-12-10T09:13:00.000-05:002008-12-10T09:13:00.000-05:00LOL!LOL!ch555xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087125956106961402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-32217880430052344492008-12-09T19:59:00.000-05:002008-12-09T19:59:00.000-05:00Actually, Eddie Murphy never worked for Lorne Mich...Actually, Eddie Murphy never worked for Lorne Michaels.

He does a passable job as Barack Obama but it was mostly as foil to the other characters in these political parodies. But new he has to stand on his own and that's hard. Darrell Hammond is a real impersonator, Fred isn't. It's time they find a real black actor for this. <BR/><BR/>Still, this one clip is one of the better ones.
