I thought the SNL opening last night sucked...

It wasn’t particularly funny and played up in a comedic manner all the things people perceive wrong with the ACH.

I understand that I have a strong allegiance to our Pres. but many times I have laughed at SNL’S portrayal of him in past shows..

But this segment really sucked!! Here’s part

The original "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" were quite innovative in the late 70's/early 80's and very good at their craft. They attacked social and political issues through great comedy and made those issues real for people. They were very intelligent commentators on the issues of the day.

SNL should be given the respect of a lame horse and shot now.

It made fun of the people who need health care, not the president.

The true cases are too sad to put on SNL...so they could have tackled it from another way - the butting of heads between the tea party and the other Reps, the tea party from the Dems, the tea party from those who need health care..
