This reminds me of the movie “Idiocracy” which I am beginning to think is more of a documentary than a comedy
The American Thinker also observes that even the Oscars are not an ‘Obama-free zone’.
Barack Obama made an Oscar cameo appearance at the Academy Awards.
The president appeared in a montage of man-on-the-street interviews, during which participants were asked to name some of their most memorable songs from movies.
Obama appeared in the montage to say that his favorite was “As Time Goes By,” the song sung by actor Dooley Wilson in the classic “Casablanca.”
This was symbolic on several levels.
Lest we forget, Barack Obama never tires of seeing himself as the world’s biggest celebrity so why not show up on one of the most-watched TV shows around the world. In a sense, he scored a second time within a month because he also was interviewed by Bill O’Reilly before the Super Bowl — also one of the most watched broadcasts on the planet. He truly is the world’s biggest celebrity, as the old McCain ads put it in a deservedly mocking way.
He has been the toast of Tinsel Town for years now, always happy to accept millions of dollars and free publicity from Hollywood. He had a direct pipeline to mega agent Ari Emanuel, brother of Rahm Emanuel, his former Chief of Staff and now Mayor of Chicago.
The entertainment industry has adored Barack Obama. Remember, among all the awards he has pocketed was a Grammy merely for talking!
Obama is the political manifestation of Hollywood’s talent and skills at their best. Hollywood celebrities — and Barack Obama — rose to stardom using the same types of tools and craft: artifice, a willing media, high-technology , public relation machines, posters, teleprompters (or cue cards for stars with short-circuited short-term memories) and the willingness of people to suspend disbelief. Hollywood excels in myth-making, after all.
To Hollywood, being an adult is boring. Adults are mean, calculating and party of the “system” that stiffles them. Film makers and screenwriters today are not taking Louie B. Mayer’s advice. He said, “if you want to send a message, use Western Union”. He was right.
