  • I THINK JOE MORTON OF "SPEED" AND "T2" FAME SHOULD PLAY OBAMA BECAUSE HE HAD THE SAME LIKENESS WHEN HE PLAYED A SENATOR ON THE TV SHOW "A DIFFERENT WORLD" IN 93-94. HE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHOICE,AND HE DESERVES HIS PROPS HES PLAYED IN A TON OF MOVIES!

  • Harry Lennix is the actor that should play Obama

  • Will Smith all the way. Same smile, ears, nose, eyes, and even the same bone structure in the face. He'll be just the right age to play him and he can already to the voice pretty well. Oh and did I mention he's a phenomenal actor?

  • get an unknown - most of us abroad had never heard of him before he stood so it would add realism.

  • @jesoby I agree, I got nothing against Will or Denzel, but I would like to see a new talent play Obama.

  • denzel is always denzel playing denzel, and its the same with smith, personality wise smith is much closer to obamas act, but considering the reality of it - its a movie better not made at all, at least not by hollywood, its doomed to be propaganda

  • GET AN UNKNOWN ACTOR!

  • my cast

    will smith.... barrack obama

    aisha tyler.... michelle obama

  • @delmassambatv NO WAY!!!!! Harry Lennix and Kerry Washington

  • excuse me.....what is this shit

  • wtf

  • @DONALDDUKEMAN When will ignorant people such as yourself grow a modern brain or at least return to the endangered species list

  • Sorry... Boi-pic??

  • What I gathered is a biography movie about Obama after he finishes his term. (Like Bush and the movie "W".")

  • Oh... okay.

    So from birth to the inauguration of the next president, of just the last years running towards the presidency?

    Thanks, man. Btw, is W a proper movie, interesting or... you know?

  • It's just from the inauguration until the end of the term, not a life bio.

    I haven't seen the movie, but judging from the TYT review it seemed like a proper presidential bio.

  • A, cool, thanks man. ;-)

  • NaS

  • yeahh

  • WILL SMITH!!

  • @armyveteran101st I don't think so.......

  • no denzel, no god dayum Will smith.

    will smith is too much a "youngin" . he wouldn't be able to cut it

  • get the guy who plays lincoln and hitler.

  • they should get a less famous actor who looks like him....

  • hes 40 or 41 :L lol well into his 40's haha

  • Will Smith was the best on that movies Ali. I forgot it was Will smith when he was in Ali.

  • will smith

  • lol at the end. "What's the matter with you?" aahahha

  • alphacat!! lol

  • Robert Downey Jr. gave about the best performance of a blackman I have ever seen. I would say RDJr would be the best for the part.

  • Tim Meadows!  :)

  • What about the guy that looks like Tim Meadows, but is actually a serious actor?

  • Obviously TOM CRUSE is the man for the job...Paint his ass black, and shine those teeth a bit whiter...YUP, Toby,,,um TOMMY is our man for the Job

  • if you paint him black, his teeth will be whiter...

  • no one ad no one can bring the character life like Harry Lennix. NOBODY. He is doing it and he is winning an oscar for it.

  • ditto my friend I agree with you completely!

  • @simp1eone Perfect choice,And Kerry Washington as Michelle

  • I think Ali was an over actor... I loved watching him fight, and talk. But I think Will Smith portrayed him correctly, loudness and all.

  • ditto...

  • Don't you just hate how they don't say what you were responding to? Would it be so hard for them to put (To: Username + first 5 words of statement?) Oh well, I guess people ignorant of the matter will just think you're crazy.

  • 3. Charles Barkley (just to get him off the golf course.)

    2. Reverend Wright (the revenge factor would be intriguing.)

    1. Dick Cheney (so he can see how the job is done right.)

  • It should be that one youtube impersonator.

  • what about jamie foxx

  • M. Jackson would be perfect for the acting job !!!!!!!!!!!

  • YouTube's ALPHACAT is perfect!...check out his Obama Spoof "Blame it" video, then you will see...and there is a perfect "Michelle" in this vid also.

  • NONE!!!!!!!!! They should find a new actor

  • WILL SMITH IT'S ALL IN THE EARS

  • alphacat all the way

  • Second that. They'd need to age him a bit with makeup. But he could play the younger Barack right now.

  • Obama can play himself in his biopic. And I want it to co-star Christian Bale, and it should be directed by Christoper Nolan.

    See where I'm going with this?

  • Alphacat on youtube should get the part!!

  • I vote Michael Clark Duncan or Flava Flav. XD Maybe a painted Vin Dinsiel. ROFL!

  • I love Cenk's 'what's the matter with you!' at the end :)

  • Dumbo would do a much better job.

  • alphacat is good but hasn't proven his acting abilitties or box office draw. I think harry lennix would be perfect, even though he's not on the A-list.

  • deagla

    Thanks for the info.

    Just saw the vid the Obama deception.

    Extremely interesting to say the least.

  • Who Will Play Obama In His Bio-Pic?

    Ask me in 8 years.

  • both ppl are too typecast

  • Most of us have yet to know who Obama really is. I mean if you aren't worried about, then I think that shows that you are not paying attention.

    Obama just outspent every previous president combined in only 100 days.

    Maybe wait and just a bit before making the hero movie.

  • i think will smith of the two but i there should be a larger choice then two menwill looks more like him and has become a great actor in my opinion and denzel who is goo i think looks nothing like him and is already to old to play the part. and the president said he would want will to do it.. nuff said

  • Come on this is a given. Did you hear Denzel speak at the MTV Awards? He talks just like Obama, almost exactly the same. She is somewhat right about Will Smith but in 8 years I guess Denzel will be too old but he def is closer to his level than Mr.Smith no offense.

  • this is a silly topic.

  • I vote for Alphacat.

  • so who can walk on water

  • Will Smith is too big. I mean physically. Too muscular, he can do the gravitas properly though...

    But I can say this, it will not be anything like Oliver Stone's W...

  • both are legendary actors I don't think it matters, Denzel is the better actor but Will Smith looks a lot more like him

    I don't think you can lose either way

  • I do agree with Jayar, Will Smith was great in Ali but i thought he over did it at times, Jamie Foxx did a better job in that Ali then Will Smith did to be honest

  • Pretty sure it's gonna be sean penn

  • LISTEN!

    "Deadbolt" from the matrix movies! The commander.

    He looks the most like Barack Obama!

  • Denzel no question, Will Smith is way too fluffy

  • Also, I don't think that Will Smith could get the speech patterns down as well as Denzel.

  • Denzel. Do we really want a scientologist playing the president?

  • I think Denzel should because he's got the smile and voice and has played serious roels which he's very good at.

  • "WTF Moment". The critism of President Obama usage of the teleprompter is becoming a very useless tactic from the right wing media and the conservative republicans, What's up with ignoramus like Palin and Newt Grigrich reading from a prepared speech. At least Obama looks authentic when he gives his speech verses someone that's constantly looking down at their prepared speech. So shut the fuck up. Obama is doing a great job

  • really authentic?? then how come on a European Tour he didnt even know he was reading the other persons speech when he thanked himself for coming to Europe. Great Job?? Oh ok if you call spending us into oblivion a great job. Obama is doing a terrible job. Even his promise of closing Gitmo. I understand him wanting to close it, but PLEASE come up with a plan before you say, "I am going to close Gitmo in 1 year."

  • Tom Hanks should play it

  • Obama needs a no name actor to do it, everyone else wouldnt be able to do it.

  • Wouldnt take him serious after his impersonation. Jamie foxx is kinda like will smith in ali, u still know its jamie.

  • Will Smith!

    he has the skin complexion, the height, the big ears, and he also can bring in the box office.

    Gabrielle Union should play Michelle Obama.

  • Not gabrielle, that chick from John Q should play her.. John Q's wife, she fits Michelle perfectly

  • Yeah, Will Smith would be an excellent choice to play Obama. Smith is a great actor and he certainly have the ears. I like Gabrielle Union, but I think Angela Bassett would be a great fit for Michelle Obama

  • Who cares who plays him in a bio pic... it's not something I'll go and watch

  • will smith looks like him so there you go!

  • If Chiwitel Ejiofor weren't British...

    I'd love to see the Obama biopic where the Pres is played by an Englishman. It would cause an uproar.

  • why didnt they mention skin tone. wills skin tone is a ferfect match but i think denzels acting would be better for the role. idk maybe wil smith could pull it off.

  • I would hate this movie trying to propagandize a deception artist that got in with the cult of personality. We're not going to get out of the war, and our freedoms are just being taken away by the day.

  • phil lamarr from Mad tv can play obama!

  • denzel  washington

  • This movie would be TERRIBLE. Obama is the man, but his story isnt exactly an interesting one.

  • i don't know man, "Dreams from My Father" had some good stuff in it

  • Are these the only two black guys who can act in movies? Eight years from now? Most worthless TYT video of alllll tiiiiiiime.

  • thres one journalist on CNN that looks exactly like obama

  • The Rock!!!

  • on the way it's going, obama is prolly gonna play himself. :S unless Obama becomes a better president than a better fashion rolemodel.

    so far Obama, Thanks for GM I own a motor industry that is 60 billions in dept now, and only spent 30 billions. I didnt even want it for free! so how did you make me pay for it? oh thats right, you're the president.

  • i agree with JR

  • I hope 0bama fails.

  • I think we'd be remiss not to consider that there could very well be a new black hollywood star who fits the part looks-wise, age-wise, and personality-wise, eight years from now... maybe right now these two are the only obvious candidates, but eight years is a fairly long time.

  • neither of those should be cast. the guy from dollhouse should be.

  • Rush said, "0bama was taught that there is something inherently immoral and unjust about America."

    And Sotomayor "would bring racism and bigotry to the court if she is confirmed."

  • Other Limbaugh observations:

    "Socialism is the 0bama vision for America, and fascism — we must not be afraid to use that word — its a combination of the two."

    "If al-Qaida wants to demolish the America we know and love, theyd better hurry because 0bama is beating them to it. He wants to impose his values on America."

  • Rush said, If you want 0bama to succeed then you want the government taking over more and more of the average daily life of the American people. I dont want that. I define America succeeding by virtue of Obama failing. I love America. I want everybody to succeed. Hes making it harder for that to happen, particularly the middle class.

    Obama is closing out the American dream, Rush said.

  • Rush told Sean Hannity that he wants 0bama to fail because, like Osama bin Laden, the 0bama is trying to destroy America.

    Rush also outlined why he is a media target, insisted that Powell has done nothing for the Republican Party.

    Rush said, "Liberals need a villain. They need a demon. They can't win a debate in the arena of ideas. They need somebody to demonize, and Im it. And I'm happy to be.

  • Will Smith.

  • WILL SMITH MAN

  • I think it should be a white guy with a little carmel coloring lol (snickers)

  • will looks like obama, denzel is a better actor...

  • Wow. This video is sad. He has been in office in just over 100 days and you are already looking at who is going to play him in a bio video. BTW Obama will not make it 2 terms. He truely is only a 1 term president.

  • explain that.

  • Please look at the comment below since you both were asking me for proof.

  • what part would you like me to explain? in 1996 Republicans took over Congress on certain promises of limited spending and controlling our borders. the public got tired of them not doing their job so in 2006 they were ousted. if you are talking about the 90% just look at economists in other countries who claim our president is to the left of cuba and venz. wow to the left of Castro? Point to me any point in history where spending money like Obama is doing now has actually made things better.

  • How did you come to that conclusion, he is a very popular president, and the republican party is very weak right now, if that stuff goes in a 180 direction maybe he will lose his second run, but the way things are now i don't see that happening.

  • Since you both have asked me to explain i will do it once and make sure both of you see it. Obama isnt as popular as he was on his first day. with all of the bail outs and buy ups his popularity has gone down. and with his inexperience Iran and N.K. will prove to the world he isnt ready to be president. He has spend more money in just the first 10 days in office then every other president has combined. Never in world history has spending money, OUR CHILDRENS MONEY, ever made economy better.

  • Less then one in four people consider themselves republican, Obamas popularity rating is higher then Bush, Clinton, and Bush seiner was at this point. Only 3 other presidents had higher approval ratings at this point since WW2. Clinton and Bush had 2 terms, so what makes you think that he will only have one term? Plus 90% of economists say the resection will end this year, so if it does then is approval ratings will probably go up.

  • 90% ???? no not hardly. maybe on MSNBC not not all. Obama's spending money we dont have. more then every other president has combined. funny thing is he said he wanted to cut the deficit in half. thats funny because even if he cuts just his spending it is still far worst then what President Bush left us with. Bush wasnt perfect. he and the republican congress broke their rule on controlling spending and that is why they lost. Congress spends money that they dont make. we make it.

  • One more thing ,you also stated "Obama is spending money we don't have" WTF was the Bush adminstration doing?Borrowing $ from China when we still owed them,most of it to fund a war that was totally unneccesary(75 million PER MONTH!!)So again where were you when all that was going on?Quit pretending you're outraged with gov spending b/c clearly your not when the last administration was just as guilty of spending money we didn't have as well

  • Of course Obama isn't as popular as he was on his first day.What president is?But I'd like to include somethings you failed to mention in your comment(conveniently).He is however more popular at this point than any president since Kennedy,Furthermore how come ppl like you never made a peep when Bush racked up the largest deficit in US history? just curious

  • have you not been paying attention to what Obama has spent? he has risen the deficit higher then every other president has in history. when you say most popular are you taking about in the US or world wide?

  • The money is for us!! He spent it in fixing our infrastructure and making our country better!! Besides, the "fact" you just stated doesn't hold water. It's just a Republican talking point used by Hannity and Limbaugh! I didn't hear any Republicans complain about the doubling of the national debt by Bush Jr that came from tax cuts to the rich and giving it to Military contractors!!

    Don't be a partisan hack....get your facts straight!

  • Thank you for setting that moron straight! It's very easy to recoginize a no facts recitation Hannity worshiper. Most of them jump on YouTube and recite misleading facts from fixed news

  • tell me where my information has been misleading and/or wrong?

  • Who hasn't been paying attention?Do you think Obama is spending for the sake of spending?If your'e whining about the stimulus ..that was kind of a neccesity.Lil Dubya has a lot to do with that.and whether you want to acknowledge it or not when in times of crisis the ppl want big government,Again nothing from the ditto heads when Bush racked up an enormous deficit.Yo wanna be outraged be outraged all the time with big gov spending not just when your guy isn't in office

  • I was upset when Bush and the congress were spending our children's money. i completely was vocal about that and know thats why we lost on 06 and in 08. Can you tell me when spending money has actually helped? i cant think of any. and funny thing about that stimulus package, it was never open for people, the very people who will have to pay for it, to look at. Didnt Obama promise transparency? So why was this bill needed so bad and doesnt help till 2010. oh wait that is an election year.

  • Where to start. First off, Money for us? Sadly no. It is for government run programs to make more people dependent on the govt. that has failed running everything it gets its hands on. Secondly, who are we borrowing all that money from? China. Thirdly, when you cut taxes for the top tier, who most are business owners, they are more likely to hire people. Have you ever been hired by a poor person? I am no partisan hack. i have disagreed on Bush on some of his issues like spending and borders.

  • Actually the trickle down theory is absolute bullshit!  The costs outweigh the benefits so much, it's ridiculous! Reagan, both Bushes did it and it took our deficit to higher numbers! Tax cuts not working is a fact, not a liberal myth!

    So right now, companies aren't hiring and you don't want government programs, what do you want people to do? Starve to death! If the government doesn't help, crime will go up!

    Putting more money on fixing schools and roads are not just government programs!

  • Have you actually researched what you are talking about when it came to Reagan and Bush's tax cuts??Reagan lowered the deficit because he REFUSED to spend money. The problem with Bush 2 was he didn't control the spending. Tax cuts work when spending is under control. that is the problem with congress both republican and democrat. they spend money they dont make. Rep. believe you should control your own money. Dem. believe they know what is best for you. i would rather spend MY money MY way.

  • HHH00069.....I see that you like to repeat the insane rhetoric that you heard from your hero Hannity. Hannity is a straight up ass wipe moron

  • AlphaCat should do it lol

  • totally

  • Obama said if there was a biopic about him he wanted Will Smith to play him.

    But I want Mos Def.

  • ALPHACAT BEATS ALL.

    He would be wayy better.

  • LOL, I just thought of that.

  • AlphaCat would easily make a better Barack Obama.

  • Ana sounds all different.

  • AphaCat can do Obama! Exactly the no-name Jayar is referring to. :)

    Check out his channel if you haven't already.

  • Will Smith did an extraordinary Muhammad Ali, but the script sucked.

  • Alphacat, or Samuel L. Jackson. Mothafuckin' Change We Can Believe In.

  • I should play him.

  • Tom Hanks should play Obama in Obama's biopic, if not, Mathew McConoughay, or Jack Black.

  • Does Midnite realize that White people arent real Americans seeing yah immigrated NO excuse me yah Landed here from europe? bitch you aint the real of shit get da fuck out of here

  • Get out your ciggies, get out your drugs, crack open a black liberation theology book, hurry to wright's racist antiAmerican church. You are all part of a cult -- a cult that will meet its destruction like the Jim Jones' cult.

  • The socialist parties were just defeated in Europe. So much for the messiah influencing the rest of the world. While 0bama pushes the US into socialism the Europeans are finally figuring out that it does not work.

    This is a big blow to 0bama. It becomes clearer by the day that 0bama is nothing but a cult. A cult similar to Jim Jones.

  • Well, in the UK, our conservative party are falling over themselves to say how much they admire Obama. US democrats are fairly equivalent to Euro centre-right.

  • Only drones admire 0bama.

  • it's all in the eye brows

  • Wright. 0bama and Wright are like twins.

  • Will Smith looks more like him...Will Smith should play him.

  • This is something that still amazes me. When I was a kid, there was only one black actor, Sidney Poiter.

    This discussion just shows how amazing it is that we now have dozens of talented black movie stars.

  • Chris Rock!

    Make it a comedy.

  • By "we" do you mean the defeated, depopulated, and disgraced Republican party which less than 25% of Americans now occupy? Because just about everyone else is rooting for him in hopes that he can pull this country out of the perilous gaping anus Bush dumped us into.

    Stop hating and start hoping that he can reconcile some of this mess because if he doesn't, your dumb ass is going to suffer for it.

  • oh snap. lol

  • Just you drones who occupy the 0bama cult that hate America are rooting for 0bama to destroy it. Your cult will end the same way that Jim Jones' cult ended.

  • ..and which one of your cult leaders told you that? Hannity, Bill O', Limbaugh, Beck?

  • That is so asinine. Do you really think that? For real? If you honestly think that we want America to fail then you are deluded. We want America to succeed. We just don't happen to agree with you on how that could come about. You're dehumanizing people who disagree with you and that is rather disturbing.

  • Too bad both of those actors suck!

  • I love how it's only between the two best known black guys in Hollywood...

  • Bruce Willis !

  • Alphacat all the way - nobody impersonates Obama better than him!!

  • why not terrance howard

  • Just bring in Dennis Haysbert...he's got great experience for this role.

    *This is a joke.

  • I would go with Denzel Washington.

  • Will!

  • I have to agree with J.R. in that, while it would likely be better with Denzel, Will Smith has the look more and will still look young enough to do a serious portrayal of President Obama.

    -Modias

  • Neither. Neither has the right balance of intensity , and laid back, cool elegance. I don't think it should necessarily be someone famous. Get an unknown black actor, and make that his break through role.

  • Yeah but knowing HOLLYWOOD they wont do that. They can barely even wright anything decent these days. Most videos are garbage due to poor casting directors.

    That is a good idea but they wont do it.

  • I dont really know denzel washington but by the looks of him I found on google I think he would be the best. Will Smith is too... comedy-ish

  • Jayar hit the nail on the head about Will Smith.

  • NE1 but Will Smith

  • There is a character actor named Wayne Wilderson that would be PERFECT to play obama. he was the grape in the fruit of the looms commercial where his cell phone goes off while vince gill and the apple are singing, and hes been in alot of other commercials.

  • what happened to tyt? they are posting garbage anymore. just when I was beginning to like them too

  • Denzel is a Real Actor (TM). But in the coming years we got lots of opportunity for some new face to come along that will be a perfect fit.

    My favorite Obama is Marta Costello from Gnooze!!! The look is a little different, but she's nailed the voice.

  • What about Hill Harper from CSI: NY?

  • Take a look at Harry Lennix... I think he would be a very nice fit in the Obama role.. good actor, facial features and voice! watch?v=pTnBVWEgF_0

  • They should get Will Smith

  • Another for Chiwetel Ejiofor here.

  • Samuel L. Jackson! Pwning Republicons with his Jedi lightsaber!!
