Can you smell what Barack is cookin?

[noahmijo]

I just realized that Barack and The Rock sound almost identical when either one of them are fired up. For the record I am a Barack supporter This topic is NOT meant to be taken seriously, I am not attacking Barack or anybody, I happen to poke light humor at those I like, this should in no way offend you (unless you absolutely hate The Rock then you should admit yourself immediately to the nearest Communist Sympathizer Check-in station cause anybody who doesn't like The Rock clearly hates America and is a danger to your freedoms and mine)

Anyways silliness aside, I figured I'd start using this before the wingnuts pick this up and use it as a base for a negative attack.

I think Barack's first act as President should be to appoint The Rock as his personal bodyguard/negotiator.

Could you just imagine that? "Well Mr. CEO who runs a company that just laid off 3000 of your workers to open up factories in some country where human rights do not exist, since you refuse to change your ways I think you should meet my friend Dwayne here, he's an expert on finding ways the human joints can bend and twist, it's all part of his revolutionary new form of therapy..."

I kill me okay back to the boring serious real world :)

[LostinVA]

[FrenchieCat]

[LSK]

6. yes nt

[Catherine Vincent]

18. Same pearly white smile. nt

[Cha]

27. I read he was

a republican and supported bush but I'm hoping he's come around in his thinking since way back when..like a lot of peeps.

[Sheets of Easter]

4. Glad I'm not the only one who thought he had the same tone and inflection

as The Rock. There's just that whole pesky Dwayne Johnson being a Republican thing...

[LSK]

11. he is? based on what?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. Apparently voted for * twice. In 2000 for sure because I watched the interview.

I'm not sure about 2004.

[Sheets of Easter]

20. He attended the 2004 Republican convention.

According to wiki, anyway.

[LSK]

24. he attended both conventions in 2000

And the WWE sends out wrestlers as part of a GOTV program.

[Sheets of Easter]

14. I remember a Rolling Stone article from 2001,

in which he admitted voting for Bush. He also made an appearance at a couple Bush fundraisers, if I recall. Who knows; maybe he's changed his tune since.

[LSK]

22. he might have changed his mind, heres the article

"If disgruntled democrats need a new scapegoat for 2000's election fiasco, the Rock will do nicely. He cast his vote for G.W. Bush in Florida. "It was my vote that made him president," the Rock says. In August 2000, the Rock spoke at the Republican convention. Dwayne Johnson had registered to vote just the previous day, and though Republicans kept congratulating him for sharing their creed, he had registered as an independent and was not yet committed. At the convention, he sat with Barbara and George Bush Sr. "They were very nice," he says. "Big fans." You seriously think, I ask, that George Bush Sr. sits down and watches the WWF?

"From what I'm told," says the Rock, "his office had called us and requested the entire set of WrestleMania for his grandkids. So whether he watches the entire show... maybe he's a Scorpion King fan."

The Rock mentions that he recently met two of those grandkids -- Dubya's daughters -- at a Los Angeles party. One of his publicists nearly shooed the overeager girls away -- "Excuse me! You can't put your hands on him!" -- until the Rock stepped in. "They said, 'We're all such big fans, we watch you all the time, and you spoke on my dad's behalf...'"

In fact, the Rock made himself equally available to the Democratic convention. He watched a couple of the debates but decided he felt comfortable with Bush. He also liked the fact that, just as the Rock came from a line of wrestlers, Bush's dad had been president. Another incident during the campaign strangely colored his view of Bush's opponent. The Rock was arriving somewhere in a helicopter, in a hurry, and there were all these cop cars below, and limos and a big plane where they were supposed to land. The Rock told the pilot to land anyway. People in flak jackets ran toward them, and they only calmed down when he explained that he was the Rock. (In a crisis, nothing calms like celebrity.) He discovered that his landing had disrupted Al Gore's departure.

"And," he says, not entirely seriously but, I think, not entirely flippantly either, "I think, 'OK, I was able to land my helicopter next to your plane -- I'm voting for the other guy.' That thing should've been shot down, if you think about it."

Oh, I say, I'm sure Bush would have shot you down.

"Right," says the Rock. "Exactly."

But, I ask, it's not a given that you'll vote Republican again?

"No. My vote's in play." Now he's simply having fun. "And what sways my decisions are obviously the important things: whether or not my helicopter can land, what pizza he likes..." "

5. 'Can you smell with Barack is cookin?' - - - huh?

[Avalux]

7. OMG!!! I told my SO that a couple of weeks ago. It's not just me then!

Their voices are extremely similar. :hi:

[quinnox]

8. Maybe Barack was a wrestling fan?

And while watching the rock learned a few pointers in voice style. Interesting.

[underpants]

9. Hey jabroni it is WHAT the Rock is cooking not WITH

know your role

[Tess99]

15. I've always thought they sound just alike

Barack's voice is a bit deeper, though.

Speaking of Barack and The Rock, you guys have got to watch this. One of the most hilarious things I've seen this campaign! LOL

[noahmijo]

25. Oh man that's priceless!! I wish debates really would go like this

dispense with bullshit, none of the candidates truly like or respect eachother at least not enough to do whatever it takes to WIN I think just for starters the candidates should be required to wear whatever they wear on lazy Sundays so we're immediately hit with the real thing.

[Kaylee]

39. Now that is funny!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. "IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!" N/T

[Mojambo]

17. They do have similar sounding voices. n/t

[maddiejoan]

23. They have similar accents

Because they are both from Hawaii.

[Mojambo]

32. That makes sense. n/t

[DefenseLawyer]

26. Well, to paraphrase The Nature Boy

Barack Obama: Whether you like him or you don't like him, you'd better learn to love him, cause he's the best thing goin' today!


And yes, I know Ric Flair is a right wing tool, but it is still a fun quote from years gone by.

[Sheets of Easter]

30. "WOOOOO!!!!"

Sucky politics, but the man is a legend.

[DefenseLawyer]

35. Time to walk that aisle

Stylin and profilin. This country needs a President that is a limousine ridin', jet flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin' dealin' son of a gun!

[noahmijo]

31. You have to laugh at the outrageous personalities of the 80's and early 90's

See Robocop for example :)

[rinsd]

29. Does that mean Obama gonna do a heel turn and become a tool of the Corporation?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

33. LMAO!!!!!! You Are So Right With That Comparison. It Never Hit Me Till Now!

Totally got a chuckle out of the Obama image in my head when reading that. Very good!

[THUNDER HANDS]

34. i had this as my sig line a while back, i thought you'd appreciate it

[Bigleaf]

36. Yeah, and how about this guy as Press Secretary?

The White House Press Room will now be called Pipers Pit!

[noahmijo]

37. Perfect! but that smile must be active the entire time

Especially when reporters are being "escorted" from his presence

[TheDonkey]

38. Obama/The Rock 08?
