He didn't do anything to cause that. That was the right-wing hysterics.

Dream on, oh colossally myopic one! Watch it again. The whole piece went entirely over your head the first time. Not a great shock there, mind you...

Yeah, my impression too. Fred has done a much better Obama voice in the past, I don't know why he failed to mimick his voice in this skit.

He had the mannerisms down pat, just didn't get the voice yesterday.

Ehh, that is only partially true. You are seeing only what you want to see here, it also was painting him as someone who is all talk, no action.

When you satirize public figures, there are key personality elements that you try to capture and expand upon. In Bush's case they made it a lack of independence, though he was like a kid looking towards Cheney for advice before taking action. With Clinton it was the girls and being slick. With Obama they apparently are starting to key in on him being all talk and little follow through.

More to extreme gullibility among some knee-jerk right-wingers in haplessly being fertilized into action by a bunch of "liberals are coming after your guns" manure spread by the fear-machine known as the disinformation media...

No it wasn't. It was typical SNL comedy - the same kind of comedy that was aimed at Palin this time last year. However, when Palin was the target, you guys weren't laughing so hard, were you?

White man speaks with forked tongue....
