Saturday Night Live is pretty late to the game of ridiculing President Obama, to be sure, but this anti-depressant drug spoof slamming Obama is pretty well done.
In the skit we see a depressed President Obama in black and white moping around the White House beset by second term blues.
Hilariously, early in the ad the voice over says, “It feels like even your friends have turned against you.” That is followed by video of Bill Clinton (the real one, not an SNL actor) slamming Obama for lying about Americans being able to keep their health insurance and doctors if they like them.
The ad introduced “Paxil,” a drug that will help Obama forget all about Benghazi, the IRS scandal, NSA spying on Americans, the AP scandal, Obamacare, and more (like he needs help forgetting those, he perpetually forgets about his scandals).
It hilariously shows Obama desperately popping pills until Obamacare is mentioned and then he chugs the whole bottle.
Then we get one of the best jabs in the skit. The faux ad ends saying, “Warning, Paxil is not covered by Obamacare. We promised that it would be, but it’s not. And for that, we apologize.”
Naturally there is an obligatory slam on Republicans, too. The “Republican strength” Paxil to help with “tea party related depression.”
Enjoy…
Sadly, reality isn’t nearly as funny. Remember all these lies…
Did SNL do a good job with this one?
