Go see the full transcript at SNL Takes A Swipe At Obama Over China Trip [Video]. Very funny and pointed. I didn’t think they still had it in them.
INTERPRETER: Thank you, Mr. President. I would like to add that I completely understand why you feel entitled to come here and lecture China on our shortcomings. After all, my country does owe the United States a great deal of money. Oh, wait. Hold on a moment. I believe I had that backwards. In fact, now that I think about it, it is your country that owes us a large sum of money. Is this correct?
OBAMA: Uh… yes.
. . .
INTERPRETER: Are we? Are we going to get our money? Because from what I read your country is in the middle of a serious recession.
OBAMA: Uh, while this is true, there are signs that our bailout has steadied the financial markets and our stimulus package has been effective in fixing the job crisis.
(Hu Jintao “speaks.”)
INTERPRETER: I’m curious. How many jobs has it created?
OBAMA: Uh, so far, none.
. . .
OBAMA: But our health care reform plan, we’re confident, is going to lead to enormous savings.
(Hu Jintao “speaks.”)
INTERPRETER: How exactly is extending health care coverage to 30 million people going to save you money?
OBAMA: I… don’t know.

Oh, but you forgot to add the super-funny lines: “Will you kiss me?”
“Excuse me?”
“I like to be kissed when someone’s DOING SEX TO ME!”
…..
“Will you buy me dinner and a movie?”
“Excuse me?”
“It seems like the polite thing to do before DOING SEX TO ME!”
…..
“Do you like Mrs. Obama?”
“Excuse me?”
“Why are you DOING SEX TO ME LIKE I WAS MRS. OBAMA?”
Absolutely hilarious parody! I wish I was that witty!
Yes, those were great!
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.

I respect SNL for being equal opportunity satire. They slammed Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, and now President Obama.
