2. Just watched SNL
and he would be so awesome on there. As one of the videos show, he is a versatile impersonator, so he wouldn't be pigeon-holed with doing just Barack.

3. That guy is AWESOME! ...I especially like the first clip with all the jokes!
Too funny..

And you're right.. He looks like P-Elect Obama and has his mannerisms down PAT! They seriously need to ditch that guy at SNL and bring on this guy!!

7. Wonder if Obama is aware of him?
Unfortunately, I found him after the election on another blog that I visit. Wish I could have found him during the election.

6. Fred Armisen has grown on me.
I had not thought about that Obama does have a bit of a jazz cadence, until I watched the video last night and it rung very true for me. Like when Fred had Obama say, "Let's keep Joe close" and "...but I didn't," I thought that was right on the money. It sounded very familiar in my mind instantly.

9. I'm a long time Alphacat subscriber
Shit, I've been up on Alphacat since the primaries, and knew he had Armesen beat six ways to Sunday back then.

11. Oh my gosh...that is the funniest thing I've seen. Especially the joke
about "What's Trig's middle name? Onometry?" and the "That one" is leading in the polls comments.

13. He favors him
I don't think there is anyone on this planet that could PASS for Barack's twin. We wouldn't be that lucky.

18. I always thought
Fred Armisen sucked at the Obama impersonation.

I just don't think he comes close and not just the fact he looks NOTHING like him.

But this kid is truly great.

He gets the UMMMs and the pause and the cadence just right!

21. I like him. He is loose enough to make light of Obama without it making me crazy.
Fred on SNL is getting better. The Cool montage was spot on.
