Raw Story ?@RawStory 21m21 minutes agoSNL: Watch The Rock Obama deal with Republican gadflies Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz http://ow.ly/KWkFM
On last nights episode of Saturday Night Live, Dwayne The Rock Johnson reprised his role as The Rock Obama, a parody of the Hulk who deals with Republicans in ways mild-mannered President Barack Obama would like to but never can.
We need to show a united front, the president said in response to the recent actions of the three Republicans which included inviting the Israeli prime minister to speak before Congress, sending a letter to Iranian leaders, and being Ted Cruz.
Not to be rude, Rep. Boehner began, but the only reason I invited Prime Minister Netanyahu was because I wanted to meet a world leader whose people actually respected him.
As the president grew increasingly angry, Sen. Cruz chimed in that hes impressed Netanyahu even came to visit considering how much you botched the situation in the Middle East.
When Sen. Cotton added, Ive been in Washington three months, and I think I understand foreign policy better than you, the president couldnt take it anymore and transformed into The Rock Obama.

That was an amusing skit, and he's good at comedy, but I'm surprised he did it.

(7,429 posts)4. I think this is the 2nd time he's done it
The last time he did it was in 2012 I think
Not sure about his politics, though

(16,399 posts)8. He's not a Republican
Mick Foley chided him as being a Democrat who doesn't admit it back a number of years ago.
But I do know he's a big fan of Obama and visited the White House with his mother.

I wish the President would turn into The Rock Obama from time to time. Especially when dealing with John of Orange, Tehran Tom, and that idiot Cruz.

But the President's MO for dealing with idiots is this..
.. and yet he's the one who ordered the strike and ultimate demise of bin laden..
