And so that I can claim bragging rights, I have to point out that I called it three days ago. :)

3. Kudos..you did call it. It was a funny skit. Did you notice they pushed The Rock's ears out to

match the President's ears? A great touch.

5. They held back on that skit

Everybody knows how similar The Rock & Barack are. Good looking charismatic swift rising stars who have tremendous skills on the mic. They resemble & they are mixed (Rock = Black & Samoan/Hawaiian, Barack = Black/Kenyan & White). They even sound alike when they talk & have a lot of the same cadences (the Hawaii link between both of them might play a part in that). Same color & everything. The only difference is that I haven't yet seen Barack raise "The People's Eyebrow".

The wasted opportunity was to inject a little of The Rock's WWF persona into the parody. They just left it with the Incredible Hulk. A catchphrase or two would be perfect. A mix of the Hulk & The Rock in character would have set that skit over the top. A little bit of wrestling moves in there too. Oh well.

Check out these parodies of The Rock's WWF themes/video entrances (Titantrons) based on Obama.

I was really looking forward to last week's show, but unfortunately it was a repeat.
