Fred Armisen, as President Obama, chided "those on the right" for saying that he was "turning this great country into something that resembles the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany."
Not true, said Armisen as Obama.
"When you look at my record," he said, "it's very clear what I've done so far -- and that is nothing."

Obama should be concerned about one thing, observes Thompson.
In general, "SNL" mocked previous presidents' personal characteristics, such as Clinton's outsized appetites or George W. Bush's struggles with spoken English. With Obama -- who lacks the same kind of easily caricatured traits, Thompson says -- the show went after his record.
