The Obama regime is like Being There meets Idiocracy meets Coming to America.

Chauncy is far more qualified for the office than the current dumb ass who is occupying it.

Hal Ashby really hit on the stupidity of the masses and the inner circle of power.

What qualifys these people?

I love that movie. I've seen it twice and wouldn't mind seeing it again. Wish we could run Chauncey against Obama. I believe he'd win.

Great bedroom scene with Shirley Mclain.

I’ve been comparing Zero to Chauncy Gardener since BEFORE he got elected.
Nobody listened.
Well, my conservative friends did.
Now (hopefully) the whole country realizes what a POS this Marxist ahole is doing to our country.
Hopefully, we’ll be able to salvage what’s left of it in 2012.

The entire movie seems quite surreal with Obama in office.

Read the book. It's just as good. It's what inspired Peter Sellers to buy the option. I don't know about you, but I always seek out the sources.

A Polish writer, named Tadeusz Dolega Mostowicz saw it first in the 1930s, in a novel titled Kariera Nikodema Dyzmy, which Jerzy Kosinski plagiarized, according to some, but certainly was influenced by. The hero Nikodem Dyzma (after 'dismal', I presume) was the model for Chauncey Gardiner.

How is this movie available without charge?

This must be bootlegged.

Same here, for those of us that are big fans of the movie, we thought of Being There, almost from the beginning.

If you'll note the date in red in the lower right corner of the poster, I had this moron figured out BEFORE the election.

“Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again – and CHANGE. DON’T FORGET CHANGE!”

This is the same phenomenon that gave America Oprah Winfrey. But this is A LOT scarier. All it gave Oprah was tons of money and influence. Obamalamadingdong will have REAL POWER to damage the country in ways about which Winfrey could only dream!

It probably has to do with Peter Sellers death.

I couldn’t say for certain.
