"Transformers": A Swipe at Obama?
Variety ^ | June 24, 2009 | David Cohen

Posted on 06/24/2009 2:02:12 PM PDT by Jewbacca

Variety's David Cohen saw the latest "Transformers" movie --- "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" --- and filed this report on its reference to President Obama, but not, at least in his eyes, in a good way. Cohen writes, "So as usual in these movies, the federal bureaucrats are portrayed as annoying if not villainous. The President's man, "Galloway," is a bespectacled blowhard who becomes an obstacle to our brave fighting men and their alliance with the noble Autobots.

In this movie, exactly one real-life politician is named: "President Obama." They went out of their way to make sure they named the craven, obstructionist president as Obama."

Given that Obama attacks our loyal ally Israel, telling Jews where they can and cannot live in their own country, while eating ice cream and hot dogs with Iranian mullahs crushing their own people and threatening the entire world, it's not a big stretch to paint Obama as craven and obstructionist.

Even in Hollywood, the facade is cracking and it's rot and corruption underneath.

A reason to see the movie, besides this:

Ah, a redeeming value to the movie. Most of the reviewers are saying it’s a loud plotless mess.

Millions More Movement rally
Washington D.C., October 15, 2005
Louis Farrakhan speech

Louis Farrakhan, at the Millions More Movement rally in DC, Oct 15, 2005: "...what Mao Tse Tung did was, he went to the cultural community, and they [Farrakhan spreads his arms beneficently] accepted his idea."... "Mao Tse Tung ... had a billion people whose lives he had to transform."..."the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people, and China became a world power on the base of the culture and the arts community. If we had a ministry of art and culture in every city we'd create this movement [in the U.S.]."

I wonder how 0bot parents are going to square this swipe to their secular messiah to their kiddies.

“Gonna spread happiness.... we’re gonna spread freeeeedom... 0bama’s gonna change it, 0bama’s gonna re-arrange it....”

I do know the Megan Fox is a raving liberal. If this movie is actually critical of the Obama administration, I'm surprised she agreed to be in it.

Maybe when she actually makes some money and becomes famous, she can be more choosy.

To everyone drooling over Megan Fox, this is a recent quote:

"[While] indoors, time spent talking nonsense leads to questions like this: If you could take Megatron to one side, have a coffee with him and talk him down from wrecking the entire world, what would you say?

“God!” laughs Fox. “That’s a question I don’t have an answer for and I hate you for asking me that because I’m usually so prepared!”

She considers. “I think I would make a deal with him and say instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America?”

I doubt she is smart enough to be liberal or conservative.

She’s a stunning girl who is (or pretends to be for the press) a tramp.

Not a lot of depth required.

Ah, so she’s too stupid to keep the deepest desire of liberals under wraps.

You see, we’re supposed to think that they think of us as we think of them - as ideological opposites to be defeated politically.

The left, however, seeks our extermination. There is no tiptoeing around that fact.

"Most of the reviewers are saying it’s a loud plotless mess."

Most of the reviewers lauded "Brokeback Mountain" and contributed to the DNC.

Most reviewers are raging Leftists. The original movie was very politically incorrect, and this movie is probably also.

I thought the movie made the obama admin seem like the pussies they are. Great show.

It is a summer movie about a line of toys. Why would he be looking for pensive introspection?

I say throw this Nazi skank Megan over the walls of a men’s prison and let her rot there.
