Yahoo Fact Checks SNL Obama Skit

Looks like the effort to protect Obama from the comics at SNL has spread from CNN to Yahoo.

This weekend "Saturday Night Live" opened with Fred Armisen as President Obama, delivering an address from the Oval Office. Noting up front that he'd failed to secure the 2016 Olympic Games for Chicago, Armisen's Obama said it was just further proof that his detractors' fears are unfounded: How could he transform the country into something resembling the former Soviet Union or Nazi Germany when he's failed to accomplish anything at all? "When you look at my record," he said, "it's very clear what I've done so far, and that is nothing."

But are SNL's accusations of Obama being a do-nothing president accurate? Let's run down the list of the nine promises SNL lampooned President Obama for doing "nothing" on to see where he actually stands.

Is this going to be the new mainstream media standard? When SNL or any other comic dares to do a tough but funny piece on Obama the media elites will line up to defend him?

The media is so invested in Obama's success they've completely lost their sense of humor.
