Of course, if he does a poor job, someone will no doubt refer to him as an "Obamaton." Or his actions as "Obamanible" (sound it out).

So how long until the Obama backlash starts?

Jude Law as Obama. We can really test his range as an actor.

Good call, JR. He's definitely more "Obamian" (Obamaesque? Obamacious? Obamatory?) and is an awesome actor who deserves a big role. Of course, if he does a poor job, someone will no doubt refer to him as an "Obamaton."

I think the more logical option would be Harry Lennix - who is a Chicago-born actor. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0502015/

Perhaps Will will do one of those kooky method actor starvation projects like Christian Bale did for The Machinist. Or Barack will bulk up as his "third act" continues. Some Supporting Cast: Samuel L. Jackson as Allan Keyes. Joan Allen (or Kathy Bates) as Judy B-T, Peter Gallagher (or Ron Livingston)as Jack Ryan. Of course, Jeri Ryan would have to be cast somewhere just for the Irony Factor.

I can't wait for the rap song to the Fresh Prince as Obama movie. It will no doubt feature the following lyrics used in all other Will Smith movie songs. 1. Woooo! 2. Yeah.....Yeah.....Yeah.... 3. Saywhatsaywhatsaywhat 4. Uh-ha! Uh-ha! Maybe the old style gangster rap was immoral, but at least the lyrics showed talent and originality.

That list is incomplete without Bridgeport Coffee House
