In the first few minutes of this film, U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama is portrayed as an “innocent outsider and ineffectual do-gooder.”
He’s like a “black” Jimmy Carter, and is considered “harmless” by those around him.
Suddenly, a near “fatal accident” alters both his life and the course of history when he “trips”over the family dog, “tumbles” down a flight of stairs and “goes” into a coma.
Through what some would call “divine” intervention, Obama “miraculously” recovers and emerges a “changed man” – an activist politician.
Without warning, President Obama “purges” his entire cabinet.
When Congress begins “impeachment” proceedings, he “dissolves” the legislative branch and personally takes “responsibility” for making new laws.
He then begins the total “transformation” into an all powerful “dictator” by ordering the formation of a new “Army of Construction” answerable only to him.
He spends billions on one “shovel ready” program after another.
Obama’s new found powers are “exercised” to their fullest when he suspends all “civil rights, imposes martial law, employs a small band of storm troopers to insure compliance, and revokes the Constitution.”
When resistance to his “dictatorial” reign is encountered, he suspends the law and has the “enemies of the people” executed by firing squad after a brief “star chamber” show trial like his nemesis Kim Jong-un.
Finally, as icing on the cake, Obama “blackmails” the world’s governments into “disarmament,” ushering in a new era of “global peace.”
As a result of his “unprecedented” actions, Obama is declared a “hero” for solving all the nation’s “problems” and bringing “peace” to both our country and the world.
In the end, he is universally acclaimed “the greatest president who ever lived.”
The Library of Congress proclaims that he, “reduced unemployment, lifted the country out of depression, battled gangsters and the Congress, and brought about world peace.”
Obama watched the movie several times and enjoyed it.
Michelle Obama wrote that “if a million unemployed marched on Washington… I’d do what the President did in this film.”
Jonathan Alter, former editor for Newsweek commented: “That the Rooseveltian hero of the popular film was a dictator must have seemed an advantage to the real-life president. It would help pave the way for precipitous action, if the role required it.”
This realistic “portrayal” of the present and future is wonderful. I’m waiting with anticipation for the “surge” of character “assassinations” prior to the midterm revolution of 2014.
What we need now is the “Civilian National Security Force” as described by Barack Obama in 2008 for a “tremendous” victory.
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded”.
