Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Gets Political on SNL

The Rock Obama was the first really funny Obama sketch they've done in a long time (probably going back to the first Obama/Clinton debate bit), in part because they sidelined Fred Armisen for most of it in favor of Johnson (who did a nice blend of Armisen-as-Obama impression and '70s comic book Hulk impression), and because there was an interesting idea behind it. Also, you can kind of tell that the "SNL" writers are just as frustrated with Obama as Rahm Emmanuel was in the sketch, maybe not because he won't get angry, but because he won't give them any kind of personality quirk that's easy to parody.
