Saturday Night Live last night introduced their new political cast for the 2012 elections, featuring a new cast member, Jay Pharoah, as President Obama.
“I know I’m not perfect, I’m distant, I’m aloof, I’m overconfident,” Obama says. “But wouldn’t you be overconfident if your only competition was this?”

The clip flashes to a “Mitt Romney” town hall meeting, featuring an out of touch, weird Romney played by Jason Sudeikis.

The skit also includes a brief clip of Paul Ryan – played by Taran Killam – lying about the amount of push-up that he can do and admitting “he’s not good with numbers.”

“Here’s your choice America,” Obama says. “Stick with what’s barely been working or take your chances with that.”
