PRESIDENT OBAMA PLAYS SATAN IN “THE BIBLE” MINI-SERIES

The White House reportedly confirmed that President Obama played Satan in last night’s episode of “The Bible.”

Sunday evening’s episode of the History Channel’s hit series ‘The Bible’  shocked viewers when they noticed that Satan was being played by the President Barack Obama.

Twitter exploded into life during the airing of the latest edition of the Mark Burnett-produced series with comments about The President playing the devil.   Some thought it was  just a look-a-like:

White House sources told WWN that, “the President has always wanted to try his hand at acting.  So when Mark Burnett approached him to play the devil in a mini-series, the President leaped at the chance.”

Sources say that The President only had to spend two days on the set of the mini-series and the only events that the shoot interrupted was a golf game he had scheduled with Bill Clinton, who ironically also wanted to play the devil.

Reports say President Obama is proud of his performance and is actively seeking other roles in Hollywood.  Some say he would like to play Batman – in a reboot of the iconic series.

“The Bible” has been a surprise hit in the ratings, with the religious mini-series attracting 13.1 million viewers on Wednesday – topping television leviathan American Idol’s 12.8 million viewers on Wednesday.

The popular religious show has become a surprise hit of the winter/spring schedule and viewers on Sunday night took to Twitter to express their shock at the President’s role.

The Mark Burnett-produced program retells the stories from the scriptures in a scripted format, from Genesis through to Revelation, the last book of the New Testament. The Bible is airing on the History Channel in two-hour chunks on Sunday nights, and has been the surprise winner in its timeslot.

The series will air its finale on March 31, Easter Sunday.
