The New York Times reports that in the upcoming season of Saturday Night Live, President Obama will finally be played by an African-American actor, while Mitt Romney will be played by Jason Sudeikis.

Obama has long been played by half-white,Beats By Dr Dre, half-Asian actor Fred Armisen — a curious choice given Obama's status as the first black president (though Obama too is half white).

The Times reports:

Mr. Sudeikis had been rumored to be part of this year’s “SNL” diaspora: Andy Samberg,Beats By Dr Dre, Abby Elliott and Kristen Wiig have all departed. “Right now the idea is that Jason will go through at least until January,Beats By Dre,” Mr. Michaels said,Lady Gaga Monster, though he did not rule out getting a full season out of Mr. Sudeikis.

That leaves the question of whom Mr. Sudeikis will face in debate sketches. Fred Armisen has been the show’s President Obama since 2008,Lady Gaga Monster, but Mr. Michaels said he would be relying on Jay Pharoah,Beats By Dre, who joined the cast in 2010.

“Jay has been doing Obama in his act this summer, and Jay is coming into his own,” Mr. Michaels said. “I just thought it might be time to shake it up.”

Mr. Armisen will still have an enormous amount to do,Beats By Dr Dre, Mr. Michaels said,Lady Gaga Monster, describing that 10-year player as “the backbone of the show now.”

Mitt Romney,Beats By Dre, under attack by his opponents over his record of layoffs and restructuring at Bain Capital,Lady Gaga Monster, said Wednesday that President Barack Obama was also forced to lay off people in the auto industry.

"In the general election,Beats By Dre, I'll be pointing out that the president took the reins of General Motors and Chrysler,Beats By Dr Dre, closed factories, closed dealerships, laid off thousands and thousands of workers. He did it to try to save the business,Lady Gaga Monster," Romney said on CBS's "This Morning."

"We also had the occasion to do things that are tough to try to save a business,Beats By Dr Dre," Romney said. "We started a number of businesses, invested in many others and, overall,Beats By Dr Dre, created tens of thousands of jobs."

Obama's reelection team actually sees the auto bailout as a major political success and plans to campaign hard against Romney's opposition to the bailout,Beats By Dre, should he be the nominee.

Coming soon to a war zone or an American city near you: unmanned,Beats By Dr Dre, nuclear-powered drones.

The Federation of American Scientists' Secrecy News reports that a recent Sandia National Laboratories and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation project received a favorable assessment on a secret technology to double the flying time of one of President Obama's favorite War on Terror weapons. According to Secrecy News,Lady Gaga Monster, that technology is pretty unambiguously nuclear power:

On close reading, it seems clear that the Sandia-Northrop project contemplated the use of nuclear technology for onboard power and propulsion.

The project summary, which refers to “propulsion and power technologies that [go] well beyond existing hydrocarbon technologies,” does not actually use the word “nuclear.” But with unmistakable references to “safeguards,Lady Gaga Monster,” “decommissioning and disposal,” and those unfavorable “political conditions,Lady Gaga Monster,” there is little doubt about the topic under discussion.

The Sandia-Northrop scientists concluded that the current political environment probably precluded the use of drones powered by nuclear material — after all, drones crash a fair amount and Americans are probably not to keen about atomic vehicles with a spotty safety record hovering above their homes.

Still,Beats By Dre, the possibilities of unnamed vehicles that don't need conventional fuel and have long flight times is probably inevitable in some form — especially given the drones popularity with the CIA,Beats By Dre, the military and the current administration.

UPDATE: "Sandia is often asked to look at a wide range of solutions to the toughest technical challenges. The research on this topic was highly theoretical and very conceptual. The work only resulted in a preliminary feasibility study and no hardware was ever built or tested. The project has ended,Beats By Dr Dre,” the company said in a statement.

Lady Gaga Monster Carney said.

President Obama will meet with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) at the White House Wednesday afternoon to discuss the status of comprehensive immigration reform “and other issues,Lady Gaga Monster,” press secretary Jay Carney said.

Obama&rsquo,Beats By Dr Dre;s meeting with McCain comes as the White House tries to move past stories about the IRS targeting conservative organizations and the Justice Department snooping on phone records of Associated Press journalists,Beats By Dre.

Obama will also be meeting with Treasury Department officials at the White House Wednesday afternoon as part of his effort that appropriate IRS officials are held accountable,Lady Gaga Monster, Carney said.

LOS CABOS, Mexico -- President Obama voiced confidence Monday that the United States and Russia can work together to find a political process to "prevent civil war" in Syria.

"We agreed that we need to see a cessation of the violence, that a political process has to be created to prevent civil war and the kind of horrific events that we've seen over the last several weeks," Obama said after a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin that ran just short of two hours as the leaders came face-to-face for the first time since Putin returned to the presidency this spring. 

They also pledged to work "with other international actors,Lady Gaga Monster, including the United Nations,Beats By Dre, Kofi Annan, and all interested parties in trying to find a resolution to this problem,Beats By Dr Dre," Obama said.

"Even though there are areas of disagreement," Obama said, the two countries can cooperate on a wide range of issues, including Syria, Iran and missile defense. The United States and Russia should build on their successes in some areas -- including trade -- to work through "any bilateral tensions,Lady Gaga Monster," he added.

On Iran, the two leaders "emphasized our shared approach,Beats By Dr Dre," the president said, and agreed there is "still time and space to resolve diplomatically." 

Putin shared Obama's view of the prospect of working together on Syria and other matters, telling reporters that "from my perspective we've been able to find many commonalities pertaining to all of those issues."

In their official joint statement released after the meeting, the two leaders said they "agree to cooperate bilaterally and multilaterally to solve regional conflicts,Beats By Dr Dre," including Syria's. To stop the "bloodshed" there, Obama and Putin "call for an immediate cessation of all violence and express full support for the efforts of UN/League of Arab States Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan, including moving forward on political transition to a democratic, pluralistic political system that would be implemented by the Syrians themselves in the framework of Syria's sovereignty, independence,Beats By Dre, unity,Lady Gaga Monster, and territorial integrity.  We are united in the belief that the Syrian people should have the opportunity to independently and democratically choose their own future."
