SNL slams Obama



This Saturday night live clip is hilarious yet frighteningly accurate. I wonder if Obama himself saw it. Anyways this is notable because of our type of government and our media purpose. Libertarian governments are most aligned with pure capitalism and the press is free and open. Anybody who has the financial and economic means can access the press. The press serves as a check on government as it informs, entertains, discovers truth, and again keeps government in line. In a different country that has authoritarian or soviet totalitarian would have absolutely censored this video. It's a direct stab at the United States government and Barack's policies. Like the middle east the press is supposed to be the arm of government and protect the established order. Good ole USA press serves as a watchdog, and SNL takes real political problems and communicates them in a truly hilarious manner.
