Saturday Night Lives Fauxbama skit was great!
Saturday Night Live's Fauxbama skit was great! Saturday Night Live recently put on a skit where presidential candidate Barack Obama was portrayed by Fred Armisen, who is not African American. Many were offended by a white man playing the role of Obama after several democrats last year questioned if Obama was "black enough" to win the votes of the African American population.
The skit was a debate between Armisen as Obama, and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. The sketch poked fun at the media's apparent favoritism towards Obama.
Many are critical of the sketch because they feel that Obama should have been portrayed by an African American actor. Others in the media are mad because the skit makes fun of the media and what a free ride they have been giving Obama.
I say that Fred Armisen did a great job impersonating Obama and I don't see why race has to be an issue. The skit accurately portrayed the favoritism by the media towards Obama over Clinton.
*****Note- I try repeatedly to find a video clip on YouTube of this clip, but as soon as I find one, it is taken down.
