sketch idea: “Barack’s teachable moments”

An idea for a sketch series on Saturday Night Live: “Barack’s Teachable Moments”. Recently he used the phrase in relation to the arrest of Henry Lewis Gates.

The idea: Fade in…we see two young girls sitting with their back to the camera in what looks like a living room but with a presidential podium…in walks Barack Obama, Michelle appears momentarily to snap a photo…flash!...

Barack then addresses his daughters with an opening remark about something like chores, cleaning your room, homework, walking the dog, watching too much television, computer time, upcoming summer camp trips, Frisbee on the White House Lawn, iPod usage, illegeal downloads of Hanna Montana music, rap music in the kitchen, violin practice…

Think there could be a few good sketches with Barack talking to just his dog.

Following opening statement, Barack takes questions from his daughters…
