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.”
