You wouldn't like him when he's angry...or maybe you would.

Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, offered up a nifty Barack Obama impersonation on Saturday Night Live this weekend. In a sketch in which Andy Samberg's Rahm Emmanuel urges the president to get angry at Washington foot-dragging, the president does—Hulking out into a monosyllabic Johnson.

And Washington gridlock goes right out the window. Literally.

What'd you think? Was it a funny sketch, part of the left-wing conspiracy or maybe both?
