couldn't happen to a nicer person than Jamie Foxx. :-)

As an aside, I read a glowing review of the movie. Guess I know who the reviewer voted for, twice.

Our first female president?

[nickcarraway]

This is kind of crazy. Even the left admits Obama has expanded drone attacks way beyond what Bush ever did. And he seems to hate peace- he invades countries at the drop of a hat.

[a fool in paradise]

It’ll do well in the Middle East since according to Wikipedia, it concerns “The President” pulling out all US troops from the Middle East and ends “As a result of the events, the leaders of Russia, China, Israel, France and Iran agree to Sawyer’s peace treaty, allowing him to bring the peace he wanted.”

Oh gee, did they accidently let a real poll rear its ugly head?

Wadda ya mean Americans Hate Obama!?

[Dead Corpse]

Jamie Foxx is no Leni Riefenstahl...

But he’s trying hard.

[KarlInOhio]

“White House Down” was intended for those who want a dreamy two-hours in a movie theater being swept away by the Obama they want so badly to love (you know, the one who consistently fails to appear in real life).

Instead you got the Obama who looks through your texts and listens on the other phone when you get a call.

I wanted to see it because I heard that Foxx’s character buys it in spectacular fashion...then I heard that he survives to the end so no thanks!

“White House Down” is pure, 100% Obama porn. It was written to appeal to those who want a romanticized version of the president they thought Obama would be. It’s porn for Obama supporters in the way that romance novels are porn for women.

Conceptually, maybe. Maybe that was the plan at the beginning.

But Jamie Foxx is too black to be any kind of Obama, and one would have to be pretty dim not to see that.

The underlying idea goes back before Obama, though, whether we're talking about idealized Black presidents in 24 or Harrison Ford fighting to get his plane back in Air Force One or Bill Pullman taking to the air in Independence Day.

The movie bombed. Apparently Jamie Foxx didn’t pray hard enough to his “lord and savior” Obama.

[pgkdan]

Obama porn just doesn’t sell. Sure, Chris Matthews was probably there on opening night, pleasuring himself Pee-Wee Herman style in a near-empty theater, but that’s not enough, not nearly enough, to make the film turn a profit.

LOL! Spit my Powerade Zero out at that one! Then I got a mental image and threw up a little in my mouth...

I used to like Jamie Foxx. sigh.. Another actor I’ll refuse to support with my money.
OTOH , Foxx has more credibility than the real Zer0. And that ain’t much.

Ka-pow!

[TaxMe]

My son asked me to take him to see this and, unfortunately, I did. The movie is a parody of liberal biases which, if not so over the top ridiculous, would have upset me. This movie is horrible and not smart enough to push the liberal stereotypes it seeks to do.

[MeganC]

Thanks for the review. No one in my house will be seeing this. Ever.

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

I read a review of “White House Down,” and based on that plus the fact that Channing Tatum is pretty hot, I was actually thinking about seeing it. But then I saw an ad for it and the thinly veiled version of Obama who’s the other lead character, and about hurled. Noooooo thanks! And I’ll bet a lot of other people thought the same thing: No thanks!!!

[jmacusa]

If Foxx is supposed to have some kind of talent I’ll be damned if I know what it is.

[Popman]

I see obama everyday.....I ain’t paying 10.00 to see him in a theater. ...
