Was Fred Armisens playing of Barrack Obama considered racist ?

It didn't seem racist to me, but they made him look really bad!

Also, snl has been VERY generous on how they're portraying Hillary...

I didn't note anything racist about Fred Armisen's impersonation. However, I thought the skit was not very intelligent as a whole. When is SNL going to stop relying on gay jokes for a cheap laugh?

I don't think it was racist, but it was bad. I haven't seen tonights yet, but last week it seemed like he was doing an Obama on the stump, even though they were supposed to be at a debate. He also seemed uncomfortable with the delivery.

First of all, it is not always racist to imitate another person of an opposing race.

This is Politics, so as the saying goes, everything goes...

Besides, he didnt do anything more then impersonate him.

Hmm...umm....no. I'm black, my cousin's black...and she could do a great impression of fire marshal bill...or bob...or whatever his name was. "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!" I wasn't offended by him playing Obama...however, I don't know how Obama feels about it.
