Video: Samuel L Jackson's tries to wake Barack Obama supporters with expletive-laden ad The video, based on the popular adult themed children's story "Go the ---- to Sleep!," which Jackson also narrated, shows Jackson confronting the sleepy members of a family. The profanity-laced rhymes warn the characters what might happen if Governor Mitt Romney wins the election and encourages everyone to get out and vote for President Obama. Funding for the project came from the Jewish Council for Education and Research, a super PAC supporting Obama. The group has made other humour-based videos, including a video last week on Voter ID laws that featured a brash performance by comedian Sarah Silverman.
