'SNL' Mocks Obama China Trip, Features Palin and Gore

Politics were the talk of the weekend on "Saturday Night Live," hosted by Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("Miracle at St. Anna"). The show opened with a sketch featuring Chinese President Hu Jintao calling out Barack Obama on the vast sums the U.S. government owes his country. Later, political moments included the trailer for the recent disaster flick "2012," mashed up with fake news clips announcing Sarah Palin's election to the presidency, and a guest appearance by Al Gore during the "Weekend Update" segment.
