SNL: Watch ‘The Rock Obama’ deal with Republican gadflies Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz http://ow.ly/KWkFM


On last night’s 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 he’s “impressed Netanyahu even came to visit — considering how much you botched the situation in the Middle East.”

When Sen. Cotton added, “I’ve been in Washington three months, and I think I understand foreign policy better than you,” the president couldn’t take it anymore and transformed into “The Rock Obama.”

1. Can you smell what the Rock's are cooking?

[DavidDvorkin]

2. I thought The Rock was a Republican

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

[RockaFowler]

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

[C Moon]

6. If so, than it's not surprising: considering the GOP will sell their own country for Koch cash.

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.

3. That was a great opening

I also like the Rock as Bambi

5. I love this!

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.

7. I know.. boner thinks he's insulting Pres Obama when he calls him..

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..

9. She-rock(s)!
