Mark Steyn: Nobel tops 'SNL' for Obama joke
Gosh, it's been so long ago ... what "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy" did Obama make in the first 12 days?
The most popular headline at the Real Clear Politics Web site the other day was: "Is Obama Becoming A Joke?" With brilliant comedic timing, the very next morning the Norwegians gave him the Nobel Peace Prize. Up next: His stunning victory in this year's Miss World contest. Dec. 12, Johannesburg. You read it here first.
For what, exactly, did he win the Nobel? As the president himself put it:
"When you look at my record, it's very clear what I have done so far. And that is nothing. Almost one year and nothing to show for it. You don't believe me? You think I'm making it up? Take a look at this checklist."
And up popped his record of accomplishment, reassuringly blank.
Oh, no, wait. That wasn't the real President Barack Obama. That was a comedian playing President Obama on "Saturday Night Live." And, for impressionable types who find it hard to tell the difference, CNN in a broadcast first that should surely have its own category at the Emmys performed an in-depth "reality check" of the SNL sketch. That's right: They fact-checked the jokes. Seriously. "How much truth is behind all the laughs? Stand by for our reality check," promised Wolf Blitzer, introducing his in-depth report with all the plonking earnestness so cherished by those hapless Americans stuck at Gate 73 for four hours with nothing to watch but the CNN airport channel. Given the network's ever more exhaustive absence of viewers among the non-flight-delayed demographic, perhaps Wolf could make it a regular series:
Who was that lady I saw you with last night?
That was no lady, that was my wife.
"In fact, our sources confirm, his wife is, biologically speaking, a lady. Joining us now is our Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Sanjay, we all like a joke, but how much truth is behind the laughs?"
Fortunately, the Nobel Committee understands that President Obama's accomplishments are no laughing matter. So they gave him the Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." I assumed this was a reference to his rip-roaring success in winning the Olympic Games for Rio, but as it turns out the deadline for Nobel nominations was way back on Feb. 1.
Obama took office on Jan. 20. Gosh, it's so long ago now. What "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy" did he make in those first 12 days? Bowing to the Saudi king? Giving the British prime minister the Walmart discount box of "Twenty Classic Movies You've Seen A Thousand Times"? "Er, Barack, I've already seen these." "That's OK. They won't work in your DVD player anyway."
For these and other "extraordinary efforts" in "cooperation between peoples", President Obama is now the fastest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in history. Alas, the extraordinary efforts of those first 12 days are already ancient history. Reflecting the new harmony of U.S.-world relations since the administration hit the "reset" button, The Times of London declared the award "preposterous," and Svenska Freds (the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society) called it "shameful." There's something almost quaintly vieux chapeau about the Nobel decision, as if the hopeychangey bumper stickers were shipped surface mail to Oslo and only arrived last week. Everywhere else, they're peeling off: The venerable lefties at Britain's New Statesman currently have a cover story on "Barack W. Bush".
Happily, there are still a few Americans willing to stand by Mister Saturday Night. "I am shocked at the mean-spirited comments," wrote Judi Romaine to The Times in protest at all the naysaying. "I'm afraid I've registered into a very conversative [sic], fear-based world here but I'd like to suggest the incredible notion we all create our worlds in our conversations. What are you building by maligning rather than creating discourses for workability? Bravo to Obama and others working for people, however it appears to cynics."

yeauritebra: How far is CNN's nose up Obama's ass? They have to fact check a skit on Saturday Night Live. Unreal. The skit was one of the funniest things I've seen from SNL in a long time and I'm glad to see they make fun of the left, which I didn't think they would ever do. But, the next business day, CNN ran a report on how factually true it was. I doubt they have ever checked SNL's facts before. Make fun of Obama and that's what you get. CNN protecting one of it's own. Unbiased news network? Right
sevendayz1980: what an idiots, they are "fact checking" a comedy skit??? are you serious??? Is CNN just trying everything to kiss Obama's ass?
courtinjusticeuk: David Cameron Conservative Party at Birmingham Court youtube com watch?v=oBFXU5w7sFk
ITHEREONETHATHASNT: Way to far. To say the least. They are in love and refuse to leave no matter what he does.
ITHEREONETHATHASNT: They loved when they made fun of conservatives last year. Ripping Palin apart. Now they have to defend him, its pathetic.
swordswinger395: I've been looking for this clip, thanks :)
ChurchillRolex: Hey fuck you Clinton News Network!!
Veltanschaung: Not far from the Truth! If only they had nominated HIlary Clinton over this Empty Suit! They were warned this inept politico from Chicago was all Speech, no action. How could he? He's got no conviction, no expertise except getting elected! He's a Brand.
Allthingsclassic: Fact checking a SNL skit?!! WTF!! SNL has made fun of Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43 with no fact checking stories from the media. I guess SNL has to pay for making fun of the choosen one.
maddogwinters: I'm surprised that Snl got it right.... CNN fact checking Obama is pretty funny.. since they are in bed with him and of course will say he's doing better that SNL say's.... But it's true "almost one year and nothing to show for it!"
redneckag07: can you say double standard?? it's time the media finally takes a look at their "golden boy" and shows him for what he is, thusfar a puppet with no real accomplishments and an undeserved Nobel prize...
WesOrion: It has transitioned to the Communist News Network.
WesOrion: Only thing Obama has accomplished, is his indecisiveness and spending money thinking that all we have to do is just print more, believing that will stimulate the economy.
boyblue737: So, CNN, where were you when SNL was making fun of "THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD" when Bush was in office? What about Bush Sr.? what about Clinton? What about Nixon? hypocrites.
ecwaufisxtreme: When Palin becomes POTUS in 2013, if SNL dares lampoon her, she will UNLEASH the WRATH OF GOD HERSELF onto SNL and have that show PULLED OFF THE AIR! She will expose all the male comedians PUSSIES for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE and DESTROY their credibilities and careers!
fieldzee09: lmao. this is hilarious. fact checking a saturday night live skit to protect their beloved obama's reputation. give me a break. snl is hardly a news organization. no fact checking on Palin though.
Merpsalot: Gimme a break... This is a PRIME example of SPIN people. This is how it's done... Watch and learn 2 recognize it when it appears. SNL got it RIGHT... For all the wrong reasons... but Right none the less. However, OBUTTMA has accomplished much toward his goal of destroying this nation, him, Pelosi Reid, all the COMMY cast of this wild and wacky farse !
Shestarr: LMSAO. you're joking, right? :-D
77Ravens: Of course Obamas team is saying SNL is wrong. They are just spinning. We have too much government. Politicians are only doing what's best for politicians, not America or it's hopeful citizens. I love this country but we have been paying attention to everyone else but us. Therefore, we have lost ourselves.
OREUS39: The funniest thing is that the Obama interviewee tried to divert attention about SNL's Obama sketch by bringing up SNL's Palin sketch.
MTRAN122: She is obviousely a pro Obama. I am glad she did this clip. It shows her true color.
MonsterIsrael: Iran do not forget what the Israel did in Gaza Genocide, and the Genocide in Iraq by USA's Army. Iran should have nuclear program to fight against the new Hitler of the world Today which is the "Jews owned Govt. of USA". The fact no American can deny: New Hitler = "Jews Owned Govt. of USA"
Shestarr: Whatever, dude (MonsterIsreal aka terrosist on the DL); FIRST of all, if you ask me, the USA has been way too nice to Iraq. They SHOULD HAVE done us all a favor and dropped the A-bomb on Iraq in the very beginning. Had your beloved Bush (also a Jewish lover) never ran off General, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell, the war in Iraq would've been over within the first 6 months and the rest of of these wars (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan) would of never had to begin in the first place!
Shestarr: To clarify to all you Obama haters, I'm an Independent; always have been, always will be. However this time around I've voted for Obama and still support him. My point is that I as well as most of everyone I've shown this clip to, find this SNL skit hilarious! LMAO! I just wish that the media wouldn't have ever butted in and SPINNed this one. They should've just left it alone and allowed a joke to be a joke. GEEEEEEEZ :-D If we can't have a sense of humor, we are all doomed.
Shestarr: Get in touch with reality. Clinton would've received the same response and the same results, if not worst.
