SNL Presents: The Obama Variety Half-Hour

Even though last's night's episode of SNL suffered a bit from the loss of both Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on stage, the great Maya Rudolph returned to play Michelle Obama in a skit poking fun at Barack's upcoming 30 minute television special. With a lead in the polls, the Obamas decide to turn their special into a variety half-hour, complete with musical numbers from Nancy Pelosi, Bill Clinton, Rev. Wright, and the ghost of JFK (played by excellent host, Jon Hamm.) While it certainly wasn't the strongest political skit of the past few weeks, it's still worth a look. Clip after the jump.
