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.

Once again, this is how they brainwash and keep their people. They are not sold on their policies or politics. Their people are led to believe that their leaders are incredibly, syrupily, wonderful, wonderful people. Their politics or nothing else matters because people this fantastically perfect can do no wrong. If anyone suggests that they might have done something wrong they MUST be mistaken, it cannot be, and therefore whoever suggested it must be evil. We need to understand this and address it as such. Then we could start to unravel their ball of powerful, hypnotic deceit.

I think all their “old” pictures are photo shopped and/or stand ins.

The one you refer to I doubt are even them. The other ones may be them but possibly shopped. Not sure why. Maybe their lives are pretty much made up. Who knows with them.
