What part of this seems AT ALL to be trying to "make sense" of what Obama was saying? Also, I'm sorry, but the rest of us are pretty clear on what Trump is saying or doing. Just because you believe him when he says "I never said that" doesn't mean the rest of us are going to doubt the video evidence of him saying it. Just because he deletes a tweet doesn't mean the rest of us don't remember seeing it. Nobody has to make up anything when for some reason he refuses to stop talking.
@Clorox Bleach they actually don't exaggerate. A president who stands in front of a crowd then praises a politician who attacked a journalist. And the sad part of that, people cheer!
Look Im no Trump supporter but lets not pretend SNL is super biased. This is the only skit I recall making fun of Obama, SNL, since Trumps election has 1-2 skits PER EPISODE based on Trump related things. Whether or not they are valid is a moot point.
My history teacher showed us this and he replayed it like four times because we were all laughing after the original. He so forgot that the bill cussed 😂
The social studies teacher in my school showed this to the 5th graders, and up (I don't know exactly which grades he showed it to, and I also don't want to give away my age).
@@markcrawford5810 lol the Chinese hated Obama....in contrast they love Trump because they have learned so much about trade wars and targeted economic attacks on the US to use in the future as unrestrained trade wars are not taboo now..
I love that SNL trusted (accurately!) that more than 40 years after Schoolhouse Rock's debut, the American public would still remember all the cartoons.
and yet they introduce the sketch by saying they'll be returning to an episode of schoolhouse rock, when schoolhouse rock was made to be shown between episodes of other shows. it wasn't a show on its own back in the day.
Still one of the best SNL skits of the last few years. Clever, funny and political without being divisive, overly simple or biased. It's what most of their skits should aspire for.
"I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill And I got pushed off of Capitol Hill" "Well I was explaining how the White House work the old fashioned way Then Obama pushed me 3 times off with nothing to say." "So it seems I'll never be a LAW, but hope and pray that I will, But today, I will still be a bill..."
Corey Miller Yeah, competence is pretty hard to make fun of. It left out the Senate changing the rules for Obama to stop legislation, so it’s biting but not even close to why executive orders were necessary to get anything done.
@@lookbovine and its not like trump doesn't spam them Trump has issued more executive orders in one term then Obama did in both And Obama is still worse....somehow?
@@corey9857 you obviously didn't watch snl back then They critiqued him at every point, and the only reason they critique trump so much is because he fuckw up every other week
“Ah my sweet, Woodrow Wilson!” How did that get no laughs. Guess there’s no history nerds in the audience. Edit: well I guess I don’t know what joke I thought was funny four years ago about Wilson. But thanks for the likes, I guess?
Because there needs to be some pre-understood context for the joke to be funny. What does woodrow wilson mean in the anatomy of a bill? If I say, I feel ripped off like Abraham lincoln in the Theater. The joke has some context that made it funny (that being, Abraham lincoln got shot in a theater).
+Trey Warnock the test was on the basic way the U.S. government functions, including the difference between a bill and a law. And I received a 98% on it.
@@taloob493 they did take it to the corts in the end they found that Trump had to keep not inforcing the law (Acts of Congress) because Obama had refused to enforce the law.
@@hens0w @taloob That is why the only solution is Civil War. This has nothing to do with politics. It is us and them. The elites vs the common people, and we need to send the political elites to hell.
One time a government teacher of mine asked "How does a bill become a law?" It was one of those "short answer" response questions, and for the answer I put "bribery" lol
Ah, that was hilarious! Keenan yelling, “Oh, you black ass…” as he rolled down the steps was so unexpected, I sputtered before I lol’d. Such silliness😂👏🏽👏🏽.
Funnier than the skit(mind you it is hilarious), is that doing a school house rock bit on how this is illegal, and one of the many reasons why it is bad for the country is what we need in this day and age. People don't actually get involved in national matters and politics, they just like to appear like they do on facebook and twitter. They eat up whatever the left wing news tells them, and repeat it. Most people don't even care. We have come to the point where we need school house rock to explain to normal people, what the country is becoming with Barack Obama as president, or they won't have the capacity or attention span to understand it.
For the first part, Since I have too much work today and I spend far too much time fighting on the internet- I will quote a comment I made lastnight. It is related to you mentioning "jobs they are already doing". Quote: They forgot to mention the fact that now the illegals are legal, companies will be more willing to hire them and it will still be at lower wages(compared to citizens) thus taking away jobs from American citizens who already pay higher taxes then the newly legalized immigrants will. Less tax income, less jobs for American citizens and more social expenditure on health care. Tell me again how this is good for anyone but the immigrants and their families? I keep hearing the "they are already working" excuse, but what you need to remember is that they are now legal, and can now say "take this job and shove it" because they can now find work at reputable companies who did not break the law before the EO was signed.." As far as liberal news networks...are you crazy? The big 3 alone are liberal leaning..MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN(Depending on ratings), and I don't even want to get into the amount of liberal newspapers...Although I will post a quote from Wikipedia, on media bias from a book that was written in 2002. That's 2002, back when being liberal wasn't the cool thing to do. It has gotten MUCH worse. With all of the major news papers being liberal; "Jim A. Kuypers of Dartmouth College investigated the issue of media bias in the 2002 book Press Bias and Politics. In this study of 116 mainstream US papers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle, Kuypers stated that the mainstream press in America tends to favor liberal viewpoints. They argued that reporters who they thought were expressing moderate or conservative points of view were often labeled as holding a minority point of view. Kuypers said he found liberal bias in the reporting of a variety of issues including race, welfare reform, environmental protection, and gun control.[55]"
Finn Boone Also Finn, It is not the amount of executive orders that is troubling, or illegal(no one disagrees with executive orders as a rule they disagree with the EO itself). It is the context of those executive orders and what he is using them for. The left are pretending the president is being obstructed by congress so he needs to do this. Well we are forgetting one thing- congress is there for exactly that reason. Congress represents the the American people, not Barack Obama. Congress job is to prevent terrible bills from being passed. Obama side steps and makes up his own laws as he goes along. Here is another comment I made yesterday to a liberal playing the whole "Obama can't do anything" schtick. Which I get the impression you believe too: "LOL! Keep drinking the kool-aid. You are just another mindless sheep who is listening to the Whitehouse talking points. If you still honestly believe that the GOP are blocking the presidents changes for a better future then you deserve this president. Obamas favorite two sayings are that 1. "Oh I just heard about this" and 2. "The republicans are playing politics"..EVERY failure that the president acknowledged he blamed it on someone else and then claimed they are playing partisan politics. How moronic can you people be to not see the irony in him lying about his failure by blaming it on the other side and then claim that they are the ones playing partisan political games. You people just keep eating it up. Do us a favor and don't vote unless you can think for yourself."
Trump did 220 orders and a total of 894 executive actions. No one wants to hear it. It's not a Democrat or Republican thing, it's a "Congress can't get anything done" thing
Hilarious! That's the funniest thing they've done on "SNL" in a long, long time. I laughed so hard while watching this, I had to cover my mouth so I wouldn't wake the neighbors!

Funnier than the skit(mind you it is hilarious), is that doing a school house rock bit on how this is illegal, and one of the many reasons why it is bad for the country is what we need in this day and age. People don't actually get involved in national matters and politics, they just like to appear like they do on facebook and twitter. They eat up whatever the left wing news tells them, and repeat it. Most people don't even care. We have come to the point where we need school house rock to explain to normal people, what the country is becoming with Barack Obama as president, or they won't have the capacity or attention span to understand it.
There is no such thing as "left wing news" hahahaha
For the first part, Since I have too much work today and I spend far too much time fighting on the internet- I will quote a comment I made lastnight. It is related to you mentioning "jobs they are already doing".
Quote:
They forgot to mention the fact that now the illegals are legal, companies will be more willing to hire them and it will still be at lower wages(compared to citizens) thus taking away jobs from American citizens who already pay higher taxes then the newly legalized immigrants will. Less tax income, less jobs for American citizens and more social expenditure on health care. Tell me again how this is good for anyone but the immigrants and their families? I keep hearing the "they are already working" excuse, but what you need to remember is that they are now legal, and can now say "take this job and shove it" because they can now find work at reputable companies who did not break the law before the EO was signed.."
As far as liberal news networks...are you crazy? The big 3 alone are liberal leaning..MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN(Depending on ratings), and I don't even want to get into the amount of liberal newspapers...Although I will post a quote from Wikipedia, on media bias from a book that was written in 2002. That's 2002, back when being liberal wasn't the cool thing to do. It has gotten MUCH worse. With all of the major news papers being liberal;

They say at 1:55 that the reason Obama used executive orders is because congress is too gridlocked by partisans to be useful

Every once in a while, today's SNL pokes fun at the left..... every once in a while.
I was at Capitol hill this week for a DC trip, I almost fell down those steps

Hilarious! That's the funniest thing they've done on "SNL" in a long, long time.
I laughed so hard while watching this, I had to cover my mouth so I wouldn't wake the neighbors!
This was absolute comedy GOLD. John Belushi would be proud.
