Look what this idiot wrote about Obama "not being the first"

[Marsala]

Upon seeing the title of Mark Krikorian's post on NRO's Corner, I thought that he was going to mention some white president who might have had a drop of African blood generations back, but instead he compared Obama to FICTIONAL black presidents! What the hell? I e-mailed him mocking conservatives' inability to distinguish fantasy from reality.

Obama's Not Really the First Mark Krikorian

James Earl Jones was the first black president I'd ever seen — he was The Man, which I saw as a kid on TV (I think I also read the novel, which I remember being very different). What others? There's the president on 24 (I've never seen it, but I've heard), and apparently Morgan Freeman was the president in Deep Impact, according to an NPR segment last year on the subject. This post last week at a movie blog also lists the presidents in Idiocracy and Head of State, both of which are kind of clownish; that post also lists the president from The Fifth Element (a great movie, by the way), but he was president of Earth, not the United States. This story from the Minneapolis paper also lists 1933's Rufus Jones for President, starring an 8-year-old Sammy Davis Jr. in his first film where he somehow gets elected president (you can see the whole thing — it's short — starting here). A piece from Slate last month says Danny Glover will play the president in an upcoming film called 2012. Are there others? TV shows, novels, whatever?

2. The closest a nonwhite has gotten to the white house was with Hoover

VP Charles Curtis was a quarter native. And, yeah, that's the closest that we'd come until this point

3. The stupid is really amusing...

but I get board fast.

4. So the bastion of conservative intellectuals - the National Review

has fallen hard and fast to become fodder for their reality-show anti-intellectual base? Buckley would be rolling in his grave. :eyes:

5. Well, it's like Stephen Colbert said: every time there was a fictional black president,

some catastrophe happened. So we're in trouble with Obama, because now that we elected him, some kind of movie catastrophe will happen to us. :rofl:

6. Well, if pretend counts for something,

then what does the freeper feel about JEJ playing the role of Thulsa Doom who could turn into a giant snake, which was put down by the almost nekked governor of California?
