The cast of “Saturday Night Live” mocked President Obama’s response to the Ebola cases diagnosed in the U.S. during Saturday’s cold open.
At the beginning of the skit, Obama explains that the Ebola response wasn’t that bad, relatively speaking.
“Some people want to criticize the way our administration has handled this crisis, and it’s true we made a few mistakes early on. But I assure you, that was nowhere near as bad as how we handled the ISIS situation, our varied Secret Service mishaps, or the scandals of the IRS and the NSA,” he said. “And I don’t know if you guys remember, but the Obamacare website had some pretty serious problems too.”
He said that considering the rest of the second term, “this whole Ebola thing is probably one of my greatest accomplishments.”
Obama then introduces Ebola Czar Ron Klain who takes questions on his lack of medical background and travel bans.

This was such a partisan hit job, It could have been paid for by the RNC. It even had a portrait of Reagan hanging on the wall.
I’m not certain who watches this trope a tripe show anymore.
The skits have been vacuous for a couple of decades with a few notable exceptions.
Apparently ‘mean girl’ is a requisite to be a edgy enough to make the under 30 writing team.
Funny enough if you binge drink and are in college perhaps but too clever by half.
Even George Carlin wouldn’t use this type horse shit sketch material.
Satire left the building long ago.
I am done with SNL. They have become a talking point show for republicans. They are just bad, really bad, going downhill.
Stop watching years ago not funny any more
I quit this shit when gilda died.
