Executives at Megalomaniac (MGM) Studios announced today that President Barack Hussein Obama will be cast in the role of "Rick Blaine" first played by Humphrey Bogart in the original 1941 film.
An studio source speaking under conditions of anonymity advised that Obama was a natural for the part having, "way more cool points than Bogart." Moreover, Obama has already established his ability to read a script, and will fit in well with the largely muslim populace when shooting begins on location in Morocco later this year. The studio source admitted that initially there were some concerns that Obama's presidential duties would interfere with the shooting schedule, but such concerns were unfounded as Obama has exhibited a tremendous capacity for avoiding the responsibilities of his office.
Shortly after the above announcement, Obama was awarded the Oscar for Best Male Actor in anticipation of his performance.
LOL.
