This weekend’s SNL tackles–literally and figuratively–the legendary cool and collected tone that defines President Obama. In a Hulk-like transformation, President Obama turns into “The Rock Obama” at the words of Senator McConnell, who declares that the Republican party will vote against healthcare reform not from opposition to the plan, but from opposition to Obama. “We want to see you fail,” he says, causing Obama’s lanky figure to grow exponentially. It’s an amusing scenario, and it gets better by the end, when Joe Biden meets with the monosyllabic and muscular version of Obama.
