Saturday Night Live took a shot at President Obama and the Senate and whether there's going to be any meaningful gun control legislation passed any time soon. Sadly, their parody wasn't that far from reality on whether we're going to see anything will make a real difference make its way through this Congress controlled by the NRA any time soon.

Saturday Night Live opened this weekend's show with Jay Pharoah returning as President Barack Obama, holding a mock press conference with Bill Hader as House Speaker John Boehner. After finding out how terribly the Speaker was being abused by his own party, SNL's Obama took pity on him and agreed to give him everything he wanted on the so-called "fiscal cliff" negotiations.

Let's just hope that any of this parody doesn't end up coming close to where this talk of a "grand bargain" ends up in real life.

Jason Sudeikis and Jay Pharoah were back as Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama for round two of the presidential debates in the opening of this week's Saturday Night Live. SNL's version of the debate was a bit more contentious than the real one to say the least, and they managed to get a shot in on Willard's son Tagg, who told a radio station last week that he would have liked to take a swing at the President for heaven forbid pointing out that his dad lies like a rug.

They also mocked Romney for wanting to bully moderator Candy Crowley, had some fun with the so-called "undecided voters" from Long Island and their questions and Tom Hanks made a cameo appearance with a one word question for the candidates.

From the season premier of Saturday Night Live, a parody of one of the Obama for America's attack ads hitting Mitt Romney for his time at Bain Capital. I await Fox "News" going after them with "fact-checks" on their comedy skit and asking if they were "fair and balanced" with their treatment of Mittens.

Saturday Night Live had their former "Barack Obama," Fred Armisen do the the hand off by giving the introductions in this skit, and although I think the newest member of their cast to take on the role of the President has a way to go in the being funny department, it's definitely an improvement over Armisen, who I didn't think was particularly funny and did a bad impersonation on top of that.

I guess we'll see how the character develops as the season goes on. I did enjoy Jason Sudeikis as the out of touch Romney and President Obama's "secret weapon" on the campaign trail and that they hit Ryan for being willing to lie about everything and anything as well.
