Mark Burnett shouldn't expect an invite to the 2013 White House Christmas Party. President Thin Skin probably already had Carney call up the Head of A&E Networks to complain.

Sunday evening's episode of the History Channel's hit series 'The Bible' threw up an awkward coincidence when viewers noticed that Satan bore a remarkable resemblance to President Obama.

Twitter exploded into life during the airing of the latest edition of the Mark Burnett-produced series with most noting the striking similarities between the 44th President and the devil played by actor Mehdi Ouzaani.

The show 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.

That doesn't look like Obama

What a great casting director they must have. Isn't this like the Bush head on a stick in what was it, Game of Thrones?

Sure it does if "not white" equals looks like obama...

I see a *slight* resemblance but nothing to say a ~= b

Got them a lot of free publicity.

Maybe if Obama put a Hoodie on he resembles any random Middle Easterner...........

If Obama had a son, he would look just like that.

Obama is giving him a run for his money, and he better be on his A-game if he wants to keep that throne in the gates of hell.

Obama isn't the anti-christ?

Well played!

From the History Channel's facebook page:

Quote:"HISTORY channel has the highest respect for President Obama. The Bible series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It's unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. HISTORY’s ‘The Bible’ is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history."

Executive Producers, Mark Burnett & Roma Downey said:
"This is utter nonsense. The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouazanni, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics– including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our President."

Executive Producer, Roma Downey added, "Both Mark and I have nothing but respect and love for our President, who is a fellow Christian. False statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of The Bible."

That must be a real resume builder......

Remember, Gregory Peck has played both Atticus Finch AND Josef Mengele.

Wow...I must admit that I wasn't the least bit shocked to find out that Glenn Beck was one of the first to take to twitter to promote the 'likeness'.

Gotta say I don't see it. But whatev.

Even worse, he's been typecasted.

It's a notable role, will be long remembered. A lot of programs can use a good Satan. Supernatural or many of those shows might pick him up plus many movies. He could make a career just on this character.

Same here. Much to do about nothing.

Its about time Obama did something to show some balls.

If you wanted someone with stones in the oval office you should not have sent a community organizer there...
