Have they ever given a president a pass like they do Biden


They've always went after the president, even if they were Dems. They shredded Clinton, and it was hilarious. They went a lot lighter on Obama, but still didn't give him a pass for everything. Is it because he's so old and obviously not fully aware? I can see how it's not exactly funny when you make fun of senility, but it's really true.

SNL went much easier on Obama than on Biden. That was the beginning of the end of the show -- they suddenly became more focused on being partisans instead of comedians. The show used to skewer everyone.
