Love that movie. The Vitajex sequence has one of my favorite quotes ever:

“You college geniuses want *dignity* on your program. Back where I come from, a fellah looks too dignified, we figure he’s tryin’ to steal your watch!”

BTW, I agree with the poster who mentioned Rhodes being Clinton-like. I see 0bama more in the vein of Sybok in Star Trek V - a self-anointed prophet whose utopian goals and willingness to do whatever it takes for the “greater good” might just lead everyone over a cliff...

I still have trouble internalizing the fact that BO is President of the United States. Now I hear “the Age of Obama.” The reality, I believe, will be “the Episode of Obama.”

Y’know, I’ll have to watch it again with an eye towards current events. You could be right.

If life imitates the movie, then president BO will be done in by an open mic. I saw it about 4 years ago and it will give you a different opinion of Andy Griffith. Although he and Ron Howard are koolaid drinkers.
