Detailed Summary
The sketch opens with President Obama addressing the nation, acknowledging that while he appears calm, he actually gets angry frequently. To bridge the gap between his composed demeanor and his true emotions, he introduces Luther, his 'anger translator.' As Obama delivers a standard diplomatic statement regarding the Middle East, Luther immediately translates it into a menacing warning for dictators to stop messing around or face consequences. This pattern continues as Obama politely urges Iran and North Korea to stop uranium enrichment; Luther's translation is a crude command to stop or face a military intervention, explicitly naming the leaders and threatening to 'do it for y'all.' Moving to domestic issues, Obama's polite acknowledgment of critics is translated by Luther as a demand for them to 'chill the hell out,' specifically targeting the Tea Party with profanity. When Obama mentions seeking compromises with the GOP, Luther reveals the President's expectation that they will simply say no. The sketch escalates as Obama addresses his communication record and accomplishments, such as creating jobs and ending the war in Iraq. Luther's translations become increasingly aggressive, culminating in a furious defense of Obama's birth certificate and heritage, where Luther screams that Obama is American and not Muslim, calling the critics 'dumb ass crackers.' The video concludes with Obama attempting to regain control as Luther begins to translate a private conversation with his wife, Michelle. Obama frantically tries to stop Luther from revealing his true words, which Luther had translated as calling his wife a 'bitch.' Obama denies saying it, but the damage is done, ending the sketch on a chaotic note of failed diplomacy and exposed frustration.
