Saturday Night Live opened this weekend's show with Jay Pharoah returning as President Barack Obama, holding a mock press conference with Bill Hader as House Speaker John Boehner. After finding out how terribly the Speaker was being abused by his own party, SNL's Obama took pity on him and agreed to give him everything he wanted on the so-called "fiscal cliff" negotiations.

Let's just hope that any of this parody doesn't end up coming close to where this talk of a "grand bargain" ends up in real life.
