How often does one get to see Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama, all in the same room?

Directed by Ron Howard

Bump. Just in case the context wasn't clear: This is more comedy than politics. This skit stars Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Jim Kerry, Dana Carvey, Darrell Hammond, Will Ferrell, and Fred Armisen - SNL's current Obama parody. Funny stuff! At least I thought so... :redface:

It is being used to push a consumer protection agenda, apparently by Will Ferrell, primarily, but the skit is more than worthy in its own right - a rare treat for SNL fans.
 
I thought that was pretty good. :smile:

Who would have known Kerry could do that well as reagan.

Oh and I have a hard time listening to Obama's speeches because all I can think of is the SNL skits.
