Samuel L. Jackson reprises his role from Adam Mansbach's "Go the F**k to Sleep" in this new pro-Obama video titled, "Wake the F**k Up." The four-minute short film attempts to recharge Obama's base, who rallied so passionately four years ago but now seem to have lost hope. It's scripted by Mansbach himself in a rhyming, storybook fashion. Jackson, wearing his iconic Kangol hat, addresses all the members of a family, from the Facebooking daughter to the frisky grandparents, telling them to wake the f**k up and start campaigning for Obama.
