When we read that there was a new disaster film called “2012,” we assumed it was about Democrats retaining control of both houses of congress.
Luckily, we were wrong.
2012 tells the supposedly terrifying story of a world simultaneously struck by fires, earthquakes, meteor showers and floods. Let’s not forget airplanes crumbling skyscrapers, continents slipping beneath the seas, and highways buckling like roller coasters.
Amazingly, they left out global warming and adult acne.
Directed by Roland Emmerich, the guy behind other over-the-top movies like “Independence Day” and “The Day After Tomorrow,” it stars leftists John Cusack, Danny Glover, Woody Harrelson, and Amanda Peet, plus Thandie Newton, whose politics we don’t know, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who we’ve never heard of.
One critic said, “The 2012 The Worst is Over Movie Clip that recently found its way online is full of the absurd action and grand special effects … As the clip continues, the delivered action is so over-the-top it almost looks like an cartoon.”
Oh, wait. We’re wrong again.
That was a review of the Obama administration’s first nine months.

It is after all only the entertaining values of Hollywood. While they left out global warming, the universe hasn't. Nor does the movie "2012" tell you about the solar storm due to arrive in 2012. NASA isn't guffawing over that one, to quote their press release about solar storm 2012 ... "the next solar maximum is going to be a real doozy." Somehow, Obama seems to pale in comparison. (Ooops! No pun intended.)
The Mayan calender ends the last month B.H.O. is in office-America will never be weaker,what better time for an enemy to attack?
This might not be too far removed from a real life day in the life of a rich gringo in Tijuana.
I agree with ocmadam. It's Satire.
Since in my opinion, Arnold won't make it past the Primaries. We should've had McClintock the last time as the Republican nominee. Hopefully we all learned our lesson. http://mcclintock.house.gov/
holy damn, i can only hope the actual apocalypse is so fun!
all the "woaahhh!" parts, and the "looks like im gonna haf ta ju~ump" bit seemed like a really high budget clips of a dangeresque movie.
it's obviously satire -- it shows the LA Times is still in print in 2012 and ARnold is still governator.
You've never heard of Chiwetel Ejiofor!? Watch Dirty Pretty Things and Serenity, people.
