Barack Obama Wants Will Smith to Play Him in a Film
Filed under: Fandom, Newsstand, Politics
Getting tired of all this Clinton/Obama stuff yet? Look, regardless of who I'm voting for, I think it's pretty disgusting how some people compare Obama to a terrorist because of his name. A pimp? Totally. A terrorist. No. When asked what his three favorite movies of all time were, Obama recently named The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and Lawrence of Arabia. Not for nothing, but if you're running for President, do you think naming two Godfather films as your favorites might scare off a few people? Great films, no doubt, but in such a tight race why bring up your love for fictional mafia families?
Anyway, Obama also admitted that if a film based on his life were ever made, he'd want Will Smith to play him. Of course! Who wouldn't want Smith to play them in a film? Heck, I'd want Smith to play me too ... and I'm not even black! On why he'd want Smith and not, say, 50 Cent, Obama notes, "Will and I have talked about this because he has the ears!" Surprisingly, however, Smith is not one of Obama's favorite actors. They include Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, John Q. Obvious, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon and Angela Bassett. Looks like someone's definitely got their groove back.

Not to be the hyper-PC, super sensitive liberal (but I guess I'll be that), but what about Barack Obama says pimp?
I guess I must've dozed off during the CNN debates where he threatened to go upside Hillary's head if the next primary where that b*tch didn't have his money/delegates.

Pimp in the sense that he's a cool cat. Not that he has a group of hookers to look after. Ya know, slang.

Pimp can be said about someone who is hip, cool and in charge of his game. Not that Obama is pimp to me, but to each his own.
And there is Cinematical's obligatory Obama public service message for the day. Great job!
