The Swamp

by Frank James

Saturday Night Live did a humorous riff on the notion that President Barack Obama is so cool and slow to anger.

It's a temperament that earned him the nickname "No Drama Obama" on the campaign trail.

Anyway, the skit's conceit has Obama getting angry and Hulking out and becoming The Rock Obama. Not bad.

The opener, satirizing Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner as essentially clueless, is also worth viewing.

"Rock Obama"...that was great, and I think most of the world would like to see Pres Obama actually do that to those stinking little Rethuglicans!


Tim Geithner is another "PERFECT" example of the "Peter Principle"

More like "dumb as a rock" if you learn what Obama did in meeting with the PM of Great Britain.

That's a really nice gift to the PM of Great Britian. What a maroon.


Yeah uncle Fuzzy, if he'd given something opulent you'd be crying about him wasting money and showboating with his White House power and wealth. Give it up.


What a maroon.

He was the first "black" president...not the first "maroon" president. get your colors straight.


The UK tortured Obama’s Grandpappy. With that in consideration I think his response to the UK was most restrained.

It’s not like he declared war on the UK like his predecessor did on a country who had tried to hurt his father. The UK actually DID hurt Obama’s Grandfather. Therefore there is more justification for Obama to go to war with Britain than there ever was for Bush to go to war with Iraq.

The Turbo Tax tim skit was funny. The scary thing is that the SNL character was smarter than the real deal. And Alice your post on Obama is a joke, at least W. knew his father and grandfather. Obama can't say the same thing.
