Alright, this clip irked me a little bit. But not for the same reason that it perturbed this attorney.
Like the news reporter said, it's just a late night skit. I don't get why this is even an issue. I don't remember anybody freaking out when Will Ferrell played Janet Reno. I mean, come on, he was a man dressed as a woman. Why are we worried about this Obama skit?
Besides, he's just as white as he is black, right? That's what happens when you get half of your chromosomes from a Caucasian and the other half from an African-American. So, this white person portraying Obama is just as politically correct as if one of SNL's black actors did the impersonation.
And why is the attorney worried about "darkening" the actor? What about requiring an actor to go tanning before they play a role? What about makeup? It's to make it appear as if the actor doesn't look pale in the lights. Isn't that "darkening"? I just don't get the difference.
Seriously, all of this political correctness is getting out of hand.

I seriously think PC is tearing our world apart at the seams. We're so afraid of being politically correct that our common sense is taking a back seat to it. BLEH.
