Video: “The Obama Files”
posted at 2:00 pm on March 3, 2008 by Allahpundit
In which the post-racial candidate does his damnedest to stay that way by removing himself from people who say things like this. Never mind the Hillary and Rudy cameos; this is the funniest thing from SNL this weekend. Although that may be because any reasonably good imitation of Jesse Jackson’s speaking style is, ipso facto, hilarious.

I hope those weren’t white men doing the voices.

The way Michelle ‘distracted’ the cameras is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. My God, it’s just so true. She may prove to be one of BO’s greatest liabilities.

My buddy IMed that to me last night. It was hilarious!

Cartoon Network should adopt this as one of their new Adult Swim shows.

Jessie: “See, you would say ‘Change!’, and I would say ‘it’s time to turn the pange!’”
One of the funniest shorts ever. Dang, don’t any HAers watch SNL anymore?
This brings up a great point tho…just where HAVE Jackson and Sharpton been?
JetBoy on March 3, 2008 at 2:37 PM
This from NBC.com? I’m shocked! Pretty funny stuff.

“This is criminality!”
TroubledMonkey on March 3, 2008 at 2:45 PM
That was hilarious!

No At least not me. I have to turn the TV over on it’s right side just to see the picture.
brtex on March 3, 2008 at 2:49 PM
They use a robotic voice system called The Jacksonator. It’s funny now but when SkyNet goes live all the laughes stop.

You know, I’ve been thinking that constantly since the beginning of this campaign. Great movie and, yes, lots of parallels. Thanks for mentioning it.

If Obama becomes president, Jesse Jackson, et al are out of a job. I heard a clip of some TV show over the weekend on the radio and it was Wanda Sykes. I thought it summed up quite nicely where Jackson and his kind are: “You can’t blame The Man if you are The Man.”

Is any one else thinking Bevis and Butthead?

Hope, rope, dope, pope, soap, nope.
pedestrian on March 3, 2008 at 3:00 PM
That’s the only good thing that would come out of his presidency. Another good way to sum up:
“It won’t get better if you keep picking at it.”
shibumiglass on March 3, 2008 at 3:03 PM
Ahhh…good point! Not for nothing, but think of Wanda Sykes as Press Secretary…
JetBoy on March 3, 2008 at 3:07 PM
Certainly not the worst stuff to come flying out of her mouth.
ErikTheRed on March 3, 2008 at 3:08 PM
I can’t stop chuckling over this.
“TURN THE PANGE!”

The guy playing Barry sounded like a very young Leonard Nimoy to me. If they were white they do a great job.
Brass Pair on March 3, 2008 at 3:23 PM
Is it me, or did Obama sound like Spock? I hear it now…
“Live long, so I can prosper.”
Jezla on March 3, 2008 at 3:25 PM
I read where Cyberdyne Systems is going to have their IPO soon. Get in and enjoy it while you can.
Brass Pair on March 3, 2008 at 3:26 PM
It is funny, but it’s clearly campagin advice to Obama.
And it is good advice, no matter what.
drjohn on March 3, 2008 at 3:29 PM
OMG, that was FUNNY!
Thanks for sharing this. LOL!

I would like to see him rhyme orange. Sproange is the only word, the sound of Dolly Parton falling forward.

Anytime Rangel gets zapped is fine by me!
Chakra Hammer on March 3, 2008 at 4:56 PM
Oh that was Al Sharpton.. Ever better.. >:}

“Certainly not the worst stuff to come flying out of her mouth.
ErikTheRed on March 3, 2008 at 3:08 PM”
At the firing range, we call that statement “putting one in the “X” ring”.
Hog Wild on March 3, 2008 at 5:24 PM
Rangel would be pretty funny getting zapped too! Might knock some of that incessant phlem out of his throat.
txsurveyor on March 3, 2008 at 5:26 PM
That was Sharpton, not Rangel. Hilarious! I love Darryl Hammond’s Jesse Jackson’s impersonations.

It’s because of their left-wing bias, you see.
