In Saturday night's cold open, Saturday Night Live again tackled the most pressing issues of the day in a way that only they can.

Jay Pharoah, reprising his role as President Obama, has decided to give GOP what they want in fiscal cliff negotiations in order to get the Republican caucus to stop bullying Speaker of the House John Boehner (played by Bill Hader).

While it's unlikely that the real Congressional Republicans are pelting Boehner with rotten eggs or shoving him pantsless into the ladies' restroom, you do have to feel bad for him.
