Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: SNL's Skit on Obama's Amnesty Executive Order Was So Effective, the Washington Post Fact-Checked It! BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Saturday Night Live, their opening skit, was one of the best for low-information voters. The Saturday Night Live opening skit Saturday night was perhaps the best explanation of Obama's executive action on amnesty and how it's wrong and how it's bad that you could possibly hope for. It was so good -- get this, it was so good, a comedy show, Saturday Night Live, opening skit, destroying Obama on immigration -- it was so good the Washington Post did a fact-check on it. A fact-check on a comedy skit, ladies and gentlemen. I mean, that is an illustration of just how far these people in the media are going to go to protect this guy, to fact-check a comedy skit? That is an illustration for you, and I got the sound bites of it coming up. Hang on. That is an illustration of how effective it was. It's confirmed something for me, folks. You know, I have warned you on several occasions that, if the next president happens to be a Republican, the media and Obama are going to not rest tearing whoever that Republican president is apart, particularly if that president tries to unravel Obamaism. If that president tries that, the media -- and this fact-check of a Saturday Night Live skit in the Washington Post, a fact-check! (laughing) So I'm just telling you now, they are going to do everything they can. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Saturday Night Live opening skit. I think Cameron Diaz was the celebrity guest on Saturday Night Live on Saturday. They did an opening skit that was one of the best deconstructions, the best attacks, the best illustrations of Obama and his unconstitutional executive order on amnesty for the low-information crowd that you would ever want to see. It was so good, so effective, the Washington Post did a fact-check on a comedy skit. Let's go to the audio sound bites. It's three sound bites to incorporate the whole thing. Here is the first. To set this up, Obama is being played by Jay Pharoah who starts out explaining how a law is made today. All right, here's the first bite. BILL: (singing) If I pass the legislative test then I wind up on the president's desk and I (Obama pushes the bill down the Capitol steps) Ow! (laughter) (yelling) Ah, my legs! (laughter) They were made of paper! KID: President Obama, what's the big idea? That bill was trying to become a law. OBAMA: I realize that. But, you know, son, there's actually an even easier way to get things down around here. It's called an executive order. (music starts) EXECUTIVE ORDER: (singing) I'm an executive order, and I pretty much just happen. RUSH: So in that skit a legitimate bill just got destroyed. Obama threw it away and was explaining that an executive order is an easier way to do it, and a kid says, "Well, don't you have to go through Congress at some point?" KID: Don't you have to go through Congress at some point? EXECUTIVE ORDER: Oh, that's adorable. You still think that's how government works. (laughter) BILL: Ah, don't listen to him, son. (singing) Look at the midterm elections. People clearly don't want this -- (Obama pushes the bill down the Capitol steps again) Ahhhh! (laughter) KID: Mr. President, is this constitutional? OBAMA: Of course. Presidents issue executive orders all the time. EXECUTIVE ORDER: That's right. I could do lots of things. (singing) I'll create a national park or a new holiday. OBAMA: (singing) Or grant legal status to five million undocumented immigrants. EXECUTIVE ORDER: Wait. What? OBAMA: Yep, that's what you're gonna do. RUSH: All right, so for the low-information crowd, this is excellent the way this is done. It's hard to follow this without the video, I understand that, but there's enough here to follow what is going on. You've got some people basically making fun of and illustrating Obama and just acting like idiots. But they've got a civics 101 understanding of how laws happen, and they're making it very clear that Obama's acting outside that law and doing it very braggadociously. So here's the final bite. BILL: We're gonna take you to court. We're gonna shut down all the Congress... (Obama pushes the bill down the Capitol steps again) (yelling) Ow! So many steps! So many steps! OBAMA: Well, son, what do you think about the government now? KID: I think I want to go into the private sector. OBAMA: Me, too, son. Me, too. RUSH: That's the only thing they get wrong here is, you know, Obama's fine where he is. Anyway, so the thing was apparently so successful that a guy named Zachary Goldfarb at the Washington Post did a fact-check on Sunday, in the Sunday paper. "Last night, Saturday Night Live's 'cold open' mocked President Obama's new executive action shielding 4 million illegal immigrants from the threat of immediate deportation. To the tune of a 'Schoolhouse Rock!' song, Kenan Thompson dresses up as a 'Bill' and explains how Congress passes one. Until Jay Pharoah, playing Obama, pushes Thompson down the Capitol steps." So a legitimate law gets shoved down the steps, injured and wounded and just tossed out of the way. And they go on to say, get this: "This skit got a couple of things right, and a couple of things wrong. For starters, Obama didn't sign an executive order. He is taking executive action." This is unreal, fact-checking a comedy skit, because, I'm telling you, they are going to go to the end of the earth to defend and protect this guy. The relationship the media has with this man is deeper than ideological. I don't know how to describe it. I don't know how to characterize it. But it's deeper than familial. I mean, I just cannot explain it. I know race is a component. But I've been struggling ever since this fact-check story to try to get a handle. I mean, it's right in front of our faces, we all know this, but it's deeper than them all just being leftists, being liberals. There's far more going on. The fact-check goes on to say: "Obama didn't sign an executive order. He is taking executive action, in particular by directing the Department of Homeland Security to expand programs that defer deportation for classes of undocumented immigrants -- parents of U.S. citizens or permanent-resident children, as well as undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children. So here you have a fact-check story in the Washington Post demanding that a comedy skit get that deep into the weeds in order to be factually accurate. And the last line in this piece explains why the Washington Post did the fact check. "And so what matters most for Obama's action --" meaning the executive action "-- is public opinion, and what his successor does. The SNL skit, in that sense, doesn't help him." That's why they did it. That's the last line in the fact-check story. Listen again. "And so what matters most for Obama's action is public opinion, and what his successor does. The SNL skit, in that sense, doesn't help him." So we in the Drive-Bys had to get in gear fast and nitpick this thing to death for him so that it does not hurt him because the Saturday Night Live skit didn't help him. What, are all Saturday Night Live skits supposed to help Obama? And when one of how many years comes along and doesn't, all of a sudden the sirens go off, we gotta do a fact-check story and we gotta discredit a comedy skit? And it's this line, "And so what matters most for Obama's action is public opinion, and what his successor does." That's what tells me that if the next president is a Republican, this same media is going to spend more time destroying the new Republican president, I think, A, just for being there. And then it'll get even worse if the new Republican president, say, tries to repeal parts of Obamacare. If the new Republican president does anything to dismantle Obamaism, the media is gonna set out to destroy because they admit right here what matters most is public opinion and what his successor does. And the Washington Post, Zachary Goldfarb is admitting here that we're gonna get in gear and we're gonna save Obama's bacon. We're gonna do what we can to protect his public opinion and we're gonna destroy the successor if we have to in order to maintain Obama's legacy that we are now gonna start writing and that Obama is now gonna start building. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yes, that's a good point. Let me mention one more thing about the Saturday Night Live skit since it was not video here. There's a character singing in that skit, and that character is portraying a legitimate piece of legislation, a legitimate bill, and in the skit Obama throws the bill down the Capitol steps three different times in an effort to get rid of it. It was a very effective visual of the way Obama looks at legitimately passed legislation. And again, now, this for the low-information crowd. Now, if I'm at Saturday Night Live, if I'm in charge there, and they are a real comedy show, then this next episode, whenever it is -- I don't know if there gonna be live Saturday night or not 'cause of Thanksgiving -- but whenever the next live Saturday Night Live is, go after the Washington Post. They're gonna start fact-checking a comedy skit -- let me ask you, has the Washington Post ever fact-checked anything Tina Faye has done about Sarah Palin? Well, obviously no. So it's patently obvious and abundantly clear what's going on here, and, if Saturday Night Live is a legitimate comedy show, the next time they're up, they will do a bit on the Washington Post fact-checking them.

April 15th, is the real April "FOOLS" Day !

The Act of 1871 - Is this the source of all our problems?
I don't doubt the above has had an adverse effect upon the country. NONE of the destruction of the country would be possible without the FED RESERVE SYSTEM financing it.

Besides EO 11110 there was this
There is no doubt in my mind that the CIA has been ruling America for the banksters since 1963.

You got that right! It's also gotten to the point where it's replaced Christmas day in significance too. Not positive, but nonetheless.
LMAO If that doesn't sum up the nation.
No. The only thing it has to do with our problems is that it is a needlessly divisive distraction from correcting real problems. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
