Barack Obama Picks Woke Box Office Flop ‘West Side Story’ as One of His Favorite Movies of 2021
Breitbart ^ | 12/17/2021 | David NG

Former President Barack Obama has given his official seal of approval to Steven Spielberg’s woke box-office disaster West Side Story, naming it as one of his favorite movies of 2021.

In what has become an annual Obama tradition, the 44th president tweeted a list of his top movies of the past year. And as usual, the list is a precisely calibrated mix of indie darlings, prestige foreign titles, and woke Hollywood fare — all seemingly designed to further ingratiate him with the elite tastemaker crowd, as if their political fealty was ever in doubt.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Speilberg called Barak personally and asked for a little help from his friend in selling the movie. Speilberg and people like Tom Hanks believe in the same things as many Obama fans.

There was a time in polite society guys of 0bama’s ilk who seemed “light in the loafers” were called “lovers of Broadway musicals”.

I couldn’t be paid to see any dreck from HELLywood, though I wonder if they kept the song “Gee Officer Krupkee” with the lyric, 🎶my sister wears a mustache, my brother wears a dress, goodness gracious that’s why I’m a mess🎶

The remake should have taken place in LA and featured the Crips/Bloods versus MS-13. The whole story should be updated to feature today's woke themes.

Once again Hollywood proves it's fresh out of ideas. What's next, a remake/reboot of Sponge Bob?

It wasn’t woke at all. My favorite film of the year for sure.

“Show Tunes”

But women said leave them alone

They dont bother you, let them be

Fast forward today to women complaining trannies now win female events

Now that it bothers women we cant tolerate perverts now because women are unhappy
