I think its a new trend. Hollywood gets one free shot at the president and theyseem to make a bad movie about them. I think Denzel would be the best choice.

So... do a movie on a president that has nothing then have a sequel to what he did during his term?? That sounds idiotic. There shouldn't be a movie on any historic figure until after he's done something or after he's dead.

Denzel all the way. Will Smith is way to hip-hop funny boy with crappy one liners for the role.

Well then, George got a movie because he did a lot of things to deserve the criticism. Obama hasn't even been a president for a year :/ Besides, what would be the main political message it would portray. How great Obama is?

Yeah, pretty much the reason why he shouldn't have a movie right now. Besides, he might turn out to be evil in the long run. You never know with politicians.

Well, you can look at it another way if you want to. You say that Obama hasn't actually "done" anything? Well, one thing Obama and every other president has done is become freasking President of the United States of America. Meanwhile we have movies about people falling in love, or escaping from prison, but somehow becoming the damn PRESIDENT doesn't count as actually having done something?

I call shenanigans.

Don't get me wrong, not every president should have a movie. But that's only because movies are a BUSINESS, and no one wants to watch a movie about freaking William Henry Harrison. However, I'd wager that a LOT more people would be willing to watch a movie about Obama. Which means some studio is much more likely to be able to put out a cheap Obama movie and make a tidy profit.

I think being the first AFRICAN AMERICAN president is huge. Most people thought it wouldnt happen for many more years. Anyways itd have to be Will Smith. He has the ears.

First of all, he's half black. Secondly, if he's driving America into the ground, it doesn't matter if he's black or white, he loses any credibility. I say if anything, do NOT give the current president any credit.
