A throwaway line, at a throwaway event, from a throwaway president.

We all know his favorite movie is the one about him.

Bizarre choice for a favorite movie. A tale about organized crime that is not uplifting in any way. I wonder if he shows it to his daughters/

Too true. I always pegged homobama as a “When Stella Got Her Groove Back” kinda guy.

No, Fredo is Biden. I wonder if Obama will off him after he blabs the wrong thing?

Thanks to that, I now have a mental image of Obama giving Biden the “kiss of death”.

Obama has been engaging in “mafia politics” all through his career, so it kinda fits.

I thought I coined Cruz as Fredo. I saw Cruz as Fredo especially in the scene lying in the recliner, at the lake house, demanding respect from Michael. Fredo, the Betrayer.

Cruz is still in the recliner thinking up ways to force respect and get his way, and destroy TRUMP if possible.
Cruz, the Betrayer.

On more than one occasion, Michael Savage has played audio of this character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Weaop_aiTg

He is told what to say. I doubt this is his favorite movie. He is an idiot, who tries to impress.

Obama is the Fredo of Presidents.

Obama makes Fredo Corleone look like Albert Einstein...

At least he has one redeeming quality... Good taste for classic movies. I knew their had be something good about the dude.

God knows he’s been a terrible politician and president.

Maybe that’s why Barak’s fictional biographies read like “Godfather II”? Comes to America a poor orphan boy from Sicily — er Hawaii?

The Manchurian Candidate is his favorite movie. He’s living it.

He doesn't like the ending.

Well, it is a great movie. The '70s had some incredible movies

And my favorites Patton and Apocalypse Now.
