First off, while some would argue that the current occupant of The White House has been worse, I refuse to acknowledge that someone who's not even in control of his bowel movements is somehow in charge of the country. Yes, I know that t here's a strong case for James Buchanan in that role but unlike Barry O, JB didn't intentionally tear the country apart. And as much as Obama had the world in the palm of his hand in 2008, now he's lost his luster. Dr. John broke down Barry's anger yesterday, centered around his scolding black men to vote for a woman once described as someone who "Reminds me of my ex-wife. And I've never been divorced!" Even when he tries talking smack it comes off as forced, like at the DNC Convention where he called Trump "That neighbor running his leaf blower at 8:00 in the morning." What? But that's not the reason for this post.
Back in January Netflix released the movie "Leave the World Behind." American Thinker's JB Shurk provides a succinct intro:
Netflix unveiled a movie last month called Leave the World Behind that was about as subtle as an Antifa-thrown brick through a windshield: societal chaos and global disaster are heading our way. Filled with Hollywood heavyweights (Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, and Kevin Bacon — with Ali apparently taking over a role originally meant for Denzel Washington) and directed by Sam Esmail (the auteur behind the award-winning Mr. Robot), the stylish production was certainly meant to get people’s attention. Speaking of production, Barack and Michelle Obama (executive producers) and their narcissistically-named Higher Ground Productions company helped to give the apocalyptic tale a global audience.Read the whole thing. I watched out of morbid curiosity and if you have an idea of what to expect it falls squarely in the "Worth watching once and only once" category. You feel no desire to ever rewatch, but you're also not left with the Adam Sandler-esque feeling of, "Good Lord, my life is now 90 minutes shorter" when the film ends. What I found amusing about the movie is how its racial division punches fail to land the way Team Barry O intended. For example, Julia Roberts' racist remarks come from her character being an AWFL (Affluent White Female Leftist). The message couldn't be any clearer - your best racism comes from Leftist women.Since its release, the movie has sparked a fever pitch of commentary. Hated by some and loved by others, a recurring complaint is that the movie is all build-up without any pay-off. It crawls along with a Hitchcockian rhythm of rising suspense and then abruptly ends without any explanation. Between beginning and end, a tiny community outside of New York City is hit with an Internet blackout, an out-of-control oil tanker running aground, electric grid failures, unusual animal behavior, strange ear-piercing noises that appear to cause mental confusion and tooth-loss, self-driving Teslas blocking highway escape, and menacing drones dropping red leaflets purportedly from foreign powers claiming responsibility for all the craziness. Oh, and Julia Roberts utters a bunch of lines to make sure that every viewer in the world knows white people are racist.
Then later there's a bizarre sequence that jumps back & forth between Ali sharing his wine collection with Roberts, while Ali's young adult daughter invites Hawke down to the pool to toke up. After some wine Ali invites Roberts down to the room where he can show off his impressive record collection. She puts on some song that inspires her to throw down the "embarrassing white woman dance." At some point she and Ali kiss, although it ends at that and pretty quickly. Over by the pool, while nothing physical happens there's a definite vibe between Hawke and the daughter. Again, the movie sends a clear picture - nonwhite people are extremely promiscuous and will try to ply white people with intoxicants.
Another interesting scene comes when the families need some medication, and decide to try Ali's handyman who lives up the road, played by Bacon. Bacon is unwilling to help, and is portrayed as some crazy shotgun wielding MAGA prepper. He is the only one who is truly prepared for whatever happens next, and he finally sells them the meds. Of course, had this movie played out further or if a sequel is ever made, in reality Bacon's family will probably be the only one still alive in a year.
But the part that inspired this post was a conversation between Ali and his daughter while they're alone. As transcribed from another review:

And to think Xiden replaced Bathhouse Barry as the worst President ever.
Yup...he’s the most horrible person. But he’s only the second worst President. The Big Guy is worst.
The press and historians will never reveal the great fraud (illegal) election of this vermin to the POTUS.
Thinking people could see it from day one. Obama is a snake-oil salesman... at BEST.
It was Barry’s ‘If you don’t vote for Kamala, you ain’t Black’, moment. And it was funny how when Barry was admonishing those Black men he slipped into the ghetto with ‘brothas’, he has never spoken anything other than perfect ‘White’ English....what a POS!
James Buchanan gets a bad rap. Yes, he blundered the country into a civil war. But he had nothing to go by, no lessons from the past.
I would replace Buchanan with George W. Bush. Bush II had the lessons of Vietnam right before him. Yet he repeated many of LBJ’s Vietnam mistakes in Afghanistan. And to make matters worse, Bush II then invaded Iraq.
Bush II arrogantly wasted so much blood and treasure. And he upset the applecart in the region. And he set off the great Muslim migration into Europe.
The damage done by Obama is more subtle. Who is worse, Obama or Bush II? I’d say Bush. But if Trump is cheated again this November. I might have to reevaluate that.
Maybe an oil tanker needs to park itself in Barry’s back yard. He probably needs inspiration for a sequel.
But, but, but he could and did draw flies.
Living Democrat presidents:
Carter
Clinton
Obama
Biden
What a crew.
The excerpt is a movie review of a movie released in January. FloppingWaste gets hung by their own rope every time...
Certainly many FREEPERS saw through him immediately.
Yeah, I really would argue that if anything Bill Clinton was even WORSE than Bush II.
Let’s not forget, the ONLY reason we had to deal with the War on Terror was because 1. Bill Clinton constantly called off any assassination attempts against Osama Bin Laden even when he was repeatedly proving himself to be a huge threat, and 2. He pretty much instigated the infamous Firewall Memos that emphasized jurisdiction problems and exploited them PURELY to avoid being nailed for accepting campaign cash from Chinese officials and even selling state of the art missile technology to them, which led directly to the various government agencies being caught with their pants down when 9/11 happened due to failure to communicate with each other. Heck, most of the stuff Obama pushed were pretty much EXTENSIONS of the Clinton stuff.
Lots going on besides Buchanans ineptness
Obama was actually pretty effective for his agenda
I’d take slick in a heartbeat of that bunch
Well, the preacher he and his family went to for years was a blatant racist. That has to signal that they are, too.
The first time I ever heard him speak (using that sing-song NLP cadence that he always employed) I knew who he is and what he is.
Obama is looking in the mirror again.
