    Video: 'Saturday Night Live' Sketch Slams Obama's Effectiveness

    On the second episode of the new season of "Saturday Night Live," Fred Armisen played President Obama giving a wry address about his inability to accomplish the key pillars of his agenda. In the blunt sketch, Armisen jokes about taking "four months to pick out a dog" and suggests his primary accomplishments have been to kill a fly on camera and bring a black professor and a white police officer together.

    "When you look at my record, it's very clear what I've done so far, and that is . . . nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it." The fake Obama walks through a checklist of his campaign promises -- closing Guantanamo Bay, withdrawing from Iraq, passing health care reform -- and admits that he hasn't made progress on any of them.
