Satan played by Obama look-alike on 'The Bible'?

Satan showed up in Sunday's episode of the History Channel's wildly popular "The Bible," and he's a dead ringer for President Obama.

Roma Downey, star of the TV series "Touched By an Angel" and co-creator of the new miniseries based on the Bible told CBS News that the idea for the show "was God's idea placed in my heart." With the help of her husband, "Survivor" creator Mark Burnett, the pair brought "The Bible" adaptation to millions of modern viewers.

Last night's episode featured the biblical story of the temptation in the desert, and Twitter noticed right away that Satan was played by an Obama look-alike.
