It wasn't too long ago when comedians said they couldn't make fun of Obama because there wasn't anything to make fun of. Apparently that ship has sailed, because SNL this weekend took direct aim at Obama and his lack of accomplishments so far. The two big Obama successes SNL points out are 'jack' and 'squat' while mocking his failure to make good on campaign promises. Does this bit mean the left is turning on Obama or are they just trying to mock him into shoving his agenda into place? ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
Obama's Olympic failure
Now it's time to 'Let the blame games begin!' Everyone is rushing to point the finger as to how Obama could make such a disastrous political move, flying over to pitch for the 2016 games to visit Chicago, when they really had no shot. Now some are calling Glenn's ‘cheerleading’ of the failure anti-American, and some are even blaming Glenn and other conservatives as the reason for the ‘loss.’ But is it really a ‘loss?’ Glenn looks at the financial disaster that is the Olympics -- and specifically highlights Athens. You may remember they had the games in 2004 -- how have the Games ‘helped’ in the five years since? Glenn explains in the latest Beck Talks Video Blog ( WATCH)

Lindsay Graham compliments Glenn
Not on purpose, of course -- Graham said Glenn 'does not represent the Republican party' which is of course 100% true and a comment Glenn wears with a badge of honor. Graham claims Glenn is not the voice of the conservatism, which is ironic coming from the guy nicknamed 'Grahamnesty' by conservatives annoyed with his progressive views. Glenn plays the audio and reacts to yet another politician who just doesn't get it. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
The world according to Trace
Glenn talks with country music star Trace Adkins about everything from Obama's Olympics failure, to bug zappers, to the 'comforting' smell of Central park in the summer. Particularly amusing is Trace's A.D.D. moment where he mocks Stu for taking children's Flinstone vitamins, saying “does your mommy still give them to you?”...Ouch. What does Trace think about where our country is headed? Check out the first part of a near full hour with Trace. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
