Oh, I'm sure they'll come up with something. They'll probably go with the preacher/messiah angle.

Either way, I could see Tim Meadows making a triumphant return to SNL. Tina Fey could keep up the Palin character as a running joke as well.

I think they'd parody the 'change/yeswecan' routine.

Barack Obama is at the pearly gates and he's away to walk in when St. Paul stops him.

"You can't just walk into Heaven like that! You need to tell me who you are, and you need to have achieved something!"

Obama looks at him and says "I'm Barack Obama, and I was the President of the United States of America."

St. Paul looks and him and says "Oh, really! How long ago was that?"

Obama says "Oh, about 12 seconds ago."

What's sad is that Fey's version of Palin is much more likable. If the real Palin was more like her, I still wouldn't vote for her but I'd at least like her.

As far as comedic value goes, Fey's portrayal is gold.

The jokes are funny .... but we know that the late nighters and SNL won't touch his race ... Chappele would be the only one to actual use it, if he was still on

The problem is that Obama hasn't really done anything funny.

Bush was a breathing and walking punchline. Palin was a breathing, walking, and hunting punchline. McCain was old, that's easy to make fun of. McCain's campaign was so ridiculous and stupid that it was easy to make fun of.

But Obama never did anything really stupid. And his campaign was all srs n shitz. Hopefully we'll find something else to make fun of.

He dances like a white dude, srsly.
