Why Does Satan on History Channel’s “The Bible” Look Like Obama?

Have you been watching The Bible on the History Channel? We’ve been treated to Noah gathering beasts, Pharaoh being a total prick for no reason whatsoever and Jesus wandering through the desert for 40 days after John (the baptists) baptizes him. It’s all your favorite stories from the bible in HD.

Also, Satan looks like Obama. Wait, what?

That’s right, Satan looks like Obama. When Jesus is out having his faith tested in the desert, post baptism, Satan tempts him with ruling over all the lands and Satan looks just like Obama. Coincidence? Perhaps, but let’s compare side by side.

The actor who plays Satan, Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni, doesn’t normally resemble the President. But it seems that Mark Burnett was guided by an unseen hand to put some makeup on the guy to make him look enough like Obama that Glenn Beck tweeted he looks like “That Guy.” This is the name Beck uses for Obama because he can’t bring himself to use the President’s name.

Aside from the small issues of the fact that they made Samson a Jamaican for some reason and all the main “good” guys are white people with vaguely British accents it seems like a totally legit “history” program.
