Obama Movie Set to Be Released in October 2012

We may be learning about a potential 'October Surprise' now-a forthcoming film about Obama's decision to deploy SEAL Team Six to assassinate Osama bin Laden. Note the release date, October 2012.
Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow’s forthcoming Osama bin Laden assassination movie—which is rumored to star Dennis Farina as Vice President Joe Biden, Garry Shandling as British Prime Minister David Cameron, and Vin Diesel as Man with Gun No. 2—has just been assigned a release date of October 12, 2012. Not only is October 12, 2012, just about the day it becomes O.K. to start thinking about Halloween, it’s also prime timing for the 2012 election’s October Surprise.
According to Deadline Hollywood Daily, the movie has become “the hottest project in town” since bin Laden’s death on May 2. In terms of publicity and rollout, Sony Pictures “is using a strategy similar to the one employed on The Social Network.” Let’s assume the film is a huge hit: Bigelow is not too far removed from her 2009 Oscar win, and interest in seeing the death of bin Laden is, as we know, appreciable. If the “Barack Obama” character is portrayed as a strong leader whose military savvy wrought great success and security, it could improve the president’s image among audience members. It might even convert some undecideds.
Even Maureen Dowd can't help notice the timing. Or the fact that the Obama Administration is giving the producers inside access to information about the mission:
The White House is also counting on the Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal big-screen version of the killing of Bin Laden to counter Obama’s growing reputation as ineffectual. The Sony film by the Oscar-winning pair who made “The Hurt Locker” will no doubt reflect the president’s cool, gutsy decision against shaky odds. Just as Obamaland was hoping, the movie is scheduled to open on Oct. 12, 2012 — perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost to a campaign that has grown tougher.
The moviemakers are getting top-level access to the most classified mission in history from an administration that has tried to throw more people in jail for leaking classified information than the Bush administration.
It was clear that the White House had outsourced the job of manning up the president’s image to Hollywood when Boal got welcomed to the upper echelons of the White House and the Pentagon and showed up recently — to the surprise of some military officers — at a C.I.A. ceremony celebrating the hero Seals.
Shandling as David Cameron. That’s a joke, right?
Gary Oldman, without any doubt whatsoever.
If Gary won't do it, I am available. Of course, there is artistry involved and they might not end up with the original concept... ;-)
AND BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA WILL PLAY HIMSELF.
This just in.
Reached on the golf course by phone for comment on his part in the film, BOZO remarked that “If I do what will be the part of a lifetime, I want 50 million bucks because I’ll probably never work again. Like Obama’s reelection chances, my reputation will be toast once the few remaining sane voters figure out that this thing — at 3 hours — is just the world’s longest reelection spot. Hell, “Triumph of The Will” only ran 1 hour, 45 minutes. I’m holding out for 50 mil. If they can’t hit my number, I guess they’ll just have to spring Clarabelle from that retirement home in Santa Monica. Ever since Buffalo Bob died and they dumped Howdy Doody into that chipper, he’s been out of work. Probably do it for husks from the old Peanut Gallery, if ya’ know what I mean.”
Laughing wildly, Bozo terminated the call.
He already started doing it yesterday in his economic speech.
Obama said: Paraphrase: They were able to come together and give their lives for the good of the country even though they were from all different backgrounds.
Sounds like you’ve met a goodly number of Obama voters.
Easy shot to set up. The lighting is perfect in the early afternoon, right as he starts on the back nine.
He could hop out of his golf cart in slow motion, chin high, under the sound of angelic choir. While bathed in the glow of heavenly wisdom, he could make a dramatic call for both the mission and his 5 iron. Then, to a rocking electric guitar, they could cut to a montage of SEAL action scenes interspersed with images of Obama golfing.
BOOM! whap. KAPOW! whap. RATATATATATAT. Putt. KABOOM! putt, dance.
The Carville Precept rules.
The economy sucks.
Baraq is toast no matter what Hollyweird says.
Luckily, enough of us have raised our kids to know better and the Tea Party represents the rise of that generation of folks, coming to the fore to offset the other.
But we are in danger of having too many of those who would vote in such a fashion unless we get out like we did in 2010...and even more so...and put this rabble down.
Some ideas for movie titles:
Brokeback Nation
Hope Sinks
American Revised History X
The Teleprompters Speech
The Lying King
Gone with the Republic
Barackalypse Now!
some bogus last-minute frivolous lawsuit that delays the release date by a couple of months would be too funny!
Here in The Peoples Republic of CT? Perish the thought!
I'm pretty sure that 69,456,897 is a ballot count, not a voter count.
With 'Rat voter fraud, there's really no telling how many complete and utter idiots there are out there, but probably a lot less than that number.
Unless someone goes to jail and the results are overturned that's a distinction without a difference.
I don’t think you have to worry about that what with what happened to Seal Team 6 the other day. If anything, it will rekindle why Obama is an anti-American imbecile.
Hope you're well, Jeff!
I'm sure it's got it all justified with ... "Hell, they're all dead anyway" .. and for THAT I want to ......
We've both been here long enough to realize some things just can't be put into words ... or at least shouldn't be.
I suspect the private ceremony this afternoon of our returning warriors with no media is because it KNEW it would not get a returned salute (at best) and would probably even be verbally accused.
Even if OBL died years ago ... the usurping bastard (It's a good word, Jeff ... no one knows ... not even IT) .... identified WHO and then this op was put together destined to produce a mass failure.
All those brave patriots
If I was a family member, I'd be in jail for the things I'd say to IT.
