The History Channel is refuting accusations that the character portraying Satan in their hit miniseries The Bible bears a striking resemblance to President Obama.
Television viewers took to Twitter and Facebook Sunday night to point out the similarities between Moroccan actor Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni and the Commander-in-Chief.
That resemblance is uncanny, wrote one viewer on my Facebook page. It looks like President Obama 20 years from now.
The cable network released a statement to Huffington Post refuting the comparisons and noted that Ouazanni has been portraying satanic characters long before President Obama was elected.
History Channel has the highest respect for President Obama, the statement read. The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. Its unfortunate that anyone made this false connection.
Executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett also released statements calling Obama a fellow Christian who they love and respect.
"False statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of The Bible, they said.
So there you have it, folks. There is no connection between the Lake of Fire and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Regardless thats still one heck of a doppelganger.

I wouldn’t waste my time watching the mini series the Bible. R. Crumb’s comic book form of Genesis is more accurate than the artistic license the mini series took.

Because you didn't like what the actress said, you digged around to find dirt on her. What business is that of yours that her husband is her third? She is not the first Hollywood actress who has been married multible times, neither will she be the last one.
BTW, she and her first husband who was a classmate of her eloped shortly after the death of her father in 1985. She was ten years old when she lost her mother to an heart attack

Well, we all know that Obama is not Satan. Satan is clever.

Nice try avoiding the facts I stated but choosing to engage in Alinsky personal attacks.

In the miniseries: is Satan depicted as having an enormous, ghastly wife?

No actually I was not upset with Michael being portrayed as black. I was attempting to explain that the series has used all ethnicities. If you recall Michael defeated Satan, then satan was cased down into hell.

"Executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett also released statements calling Obama a fellow Christian who they love and respect."
Obama - a Christian?
That Obama and the Satan actor look alike is maybe God's will.
