George Stephanopoulos Gushes Over Obama's 'First Date' Film: Will The President Like It?

Former Democratic operative turned Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos good barely restrain himself on Tuesday as he gushed over a new movie about the first date between Barack and Michelle Obama. Talking to the stars of Southside With You, he hyped the film as focusing “on one day in the summer of 1989 when Barack and Michelle Obama went out for the first time.”

Stephanopoulos pressed actors Tika Sumpter and Parker Sawyers (who stars as Obama), wondering, “I guess you guys have to be a little bit nervous thinking, 'Are they going the watch the movie?'” Zeroing in on Sawyers, the ABC co-host offered an Access Hollywood-style softball: “You say it was Barack Obama who actually inspired you to get into acting?”

To the pregnant Sumpter, Stephanopoulos highlighted the role as the future First Lady: “You say this film was a gift to your daughter.”

Journalists have been excited about this promotional film for months. During a special Super Bowl interview in February with Barack and Michelle Obama, CBS's Gayle King previewed the movie and marveled, “When I think about the Obamas, even your dates make national news.”

Conservatives and Republicans shouldn’t hold their breath waiting for the Ronald and Nancy Reagan first date movie or seeing the cute way George and Laura Bush met.

George and people like him will go to this movie wearing raincoats, and carrying bottles of Vaseline.

Does the Down Low Club provide chocolates and flowers for the first date? Is there a problem with the unmarrigeable Moochelle being attractive? I thought the whole point of the Club was to match up ugly spinsters with queers.

This is about Barack’s first date with Reggie Love? And seriously, they cast Michael as a woman?

I saw the commercial for this for the first time last night, and I let out an audible groan so loud that my wife ran into the living room. She stood there and watched the second half of the trailer, and said “NOOOOOOO!” “ NO, NO, Noooooo!”

That’s called the subtext. It will be gingerly present in every moment of the film, but never stated. The audience will just “get it”.. Prediction——this movie will be a BIG BOMB! Luckily for the producers (John Legend) they won’t lose too many millions. Straight to video, where it will also bomb.

Well lookie what got scraped up from the bottom of the barrel, little Georgie Straponaphallus. Yet another 90’s clinton-era leftover, just like James Carvile. Smell their fear in the wind, it is glorious!

Stephanopoulos’s acting is probably better than in the film
