Michelle Obama – Page 2 – I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Obama now officially living like a czar. Check out these White House Christmas photos.

The people at the White House have not yet heard the news that there’s a bit of a recession going. As a result, the Obamas continue to live lifestyles reminiscent of the czars. The only thing missing is a nice little collection of Fabergé eggs.

Take, for example, the way the White House was decorated for Christmas. A couple weeks ago we had the story of hundreds of employees taking more than four days to decorate the White House Christmas tree. Silly us. We assumed that “the White House Christmas tree” meant there was one White House Christmas tree. But no. The White House has a friggin’ forest of Christmas trees. It’s just this side of an environmental disaster. And that’s just the beginning of the Obama’s ostentatious display of conspicuous consumption.

Here’s how Time Magazine describes it:

Inside Obama’s White House: a replica White House (made of gingerbread), a marzipan version of dog Bo and more Christmas trees than you can count.

The president’s Washington home has been elaborately outfitted for the holidays, with this year’s theme being “Simple Gifts.” Some of the decor is absolutely tiny. Inside the 350-pound, white chocolate-covered gingerbread replica White House is a miniature reproduction of the East Room (containing chocolate furniture), and there’s even a mini White House garden (also made of marzipan).

But dog Bo is the true star of this year’s Christmas decorations. Besides the marzipan Bo, there is another Bo replica made of 40,000 twisted black and white pipe cleaners.

Even though the theme is “Simple Gifts,” much of the decoration throughout the White House is anything but simple, including the numerous Christmas trees throughout as well as large stone urns filled with birch, beech and crystal branches.

The theme is “Simple Gifts” and yet they have a friggin’ forest of Christmas trees and a 350-pound white chocolate-covered gingerbread replica of the White House complete with a marzipan version of the President’s dog? Call us crazy, but that seems to be just about as far away from the concept of a simple gift as is possible.

Don’t look now, but the Obamas aren’t even in Washington, DC to enjoy this excess of excess. Why, in the middle of the Obama recession, are we pissing away this kind of money to decorate their home when they’re halfway around the world in freakin’ Hawaii for Christmas?

white-house-replica — Unbelievable. It's the 350-pound, white chocolate White House, complete with a marzipan version of Bo, the President's dog

Michelle’s austerity program: First Lady wears second-hand dress to White House Christmas party

In an effort to relate to the little people who are out of work, Michelle Obama wore a second-hand dress to a Washington Christmas party. What’s that? The second-hand dress cost her 2500 smackers? Holy crap!

michelle obama second hand dress — Some of the nouveau riche don't really care about the nouveau poor

The New York Post has details of the horrifying haute couture:

Michelle Obama is once again setting the style world abuzz — wearing a thrift-store dress to the “Christmas in Washington” concert, which was taped Sunday and airs on TNT tonight.

The “couture” black-lace overlay frock, featuring a high, square neckline and a full skirt was plucked from New York Vintage in Chelsea.

The secondhand 1950s piece — believed to be the first vintage dress worn by a first lady to a public event — was made by American designer Norman Norelli, who died in 1972 and was among the most influential designers of his time.

The store’s owners would not say how much the first lady paid for the dress, but prices for vintage clothing have risen dramatically as quality pieces have become wildly popular among celebrities and on the red carpet. One estimate for this hand-me-down was $2,500.

$2500 for a second-hand dress. That’s nearly eight times that average annual income in Kenya, a country chosen entirely at random for comparison purposes only.

Michelle Antoinette really is the perfect nickname for this woman, isn’t it?

It takes a village full of socialists: Michelle Obama says, “We can’t just leave it up to the parents”

They’re putting salad bars in the schools. They’re restricting vending machines on campus. And they’re controlling what can be sold at school bake sales. Johnny can’t read, but he’s a svelte little son of a bitch, isn’t he.

Ho, boy. Doesn’t this one just sum up everything this band of statists believe in.

President Obama signed the First Lady’s child nutrition bill into law on Monday morning and Michelle Obama took to the microphone to say a few words about childhood obesity and, of course, the state of the socialist state.

“When our kids spend so much of their time each day in school, and when many children get up to half their daily calories from school meals, it’s clear that we as a nation have a responsibility to meet as well. We can’t just leave it up to the parents. I think that parents have a right to expect that their efforts at home won’t be undone each day in the school cafeteria or in the vending machine in the hallway. I think that our parents have a right to expect that their kids will be served fresh, healthy food that meets high nutritional standards.”

They’re putting salad bars in the schools. They’re restricting vending machines on campus. And they’re controlling what can be sold at school bake sales.

Johnny can’t read, but he’s a svelte little son of a bitch, isn’t he.

Michelle Obama just can’t bear the thought of an America without Barack Obama

In ObamaWorld, the skies open and Lord Obama descends from the heavens to spread joy and enlightenment to the masses. Michelle Obama speaks, an enthralled nation listens.

In ObamaWorld, the skies open and Lord Obama descends from the heavens to spread joy and enlightenment to the masses.

Michelle Obama speaks, an enthralled nation listens:

“If I had to pick the man I’d want to be in politics – the kind of person that we seek out in this country – somebody who’s honest and sincere and smart as a whip – he would be the person I would pick, and that has always been why I followed him into these escapades because I would feel guilty to think that because of me somebody like him didn’t do what this country needed. And I still feel that way. And I’ll feel that way until the job is done.”

Hey, wait just a darn second. Did she say escapades? If we’re not mistaken, Michelle just admitted that Obama’s policies have been illegal.

Princeton.edu’s online dictionary defines an escapade as an “adventure: a wild and exciting undertaking (not necessarily lawful).”

But let’s not take the word of just one dictionary. Let’s double check this. Wikitionary.com calls it “a daring or adventurous act; an undertaking which goes against convention.”

And just to make sure, let’s triple check. Merriam-Webster.com says it is “a usually adventurous action that runs counter to approved or conventional conduct.”

We’re not surprised she believes it, just surprised she admits it.

Michelle Obama flaunts her wealth at Washington, DC food bank. Again.

In what’s become a bizarre and insulting tradition, Michelle Obama once again chose a very odd place to flaunt her wealth on Thanksgiving: a Washington, DC-area food bank.

Last April she she appeared at the same food bank wearing Lanvin sneakers that cost more than the average annual income in Kenya. This year she wore a $495 Prova scarf.

The Washington Examiner has the fashion highlights from down at the food bank:

For this occasion of serving the community, Michelle opted to wear an ivory knit vest layered atop another long sleeve, ivory knit sweater. This is a rather interesting choice of apparel. If she wanted to layer, you would think she would have chosen two separate colors, right? However, the monochromatic look is indeed in this season. Perhaps, the first lady was trying to be on the cutting edge of fashion, as she so often is. She paired these sweaters with a silk, lavender colored Prova scarf (similar to the one she wore at an Indonesian mosque recently). The scarf was highlighted layered fringes of gunmetal beads and white pom poms.

We don’t know Prova from Pravda, but it turns out there might not be that much difference between the two – the line also includes a line of “Sandinista” scarves.

We’re honestly surprised that Michelle Antoinette didn’t wear one of those in support of the murderous, socialist Nicaraguan regime.

UPDATE: Turns out Michelle does own one of Prova’s Sandinista scarves. You can see it covering her head during her visit to the Indonesian mosque last month. Figures.

Michelle Obama’s wacky plan to build 6,000 salad bars in public schools

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and Ding Dongs are out. Arugula and balsamic vinaigrette are in.

fat-kid-salad-bar — Fat kid posing awkwardly with food he'll never eat in front of Michelle Obama's salad bar

Tonic.com has the details of the White House’s latest meddling in your life:

Michelle Obama paid a friendly visit to Riverside Elementary School in Little Havana, Fla. today. While there, she announced a plan to bring 6,000 salad bars into public schools across the country through the campaign “Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools.” Riverside is the first school to enjoy an open bar — salad bar that is.

The First Lady met with students this afternoon and complimented them on the garden from which they’ve been harvesting tomatoes, eggplant and kale. She explained that it’s important to eat vegetables because they improve brain function and learning.

It’s certainly not easy to make kids think veggies are cool, but if anyone can, Mrs. O has a good shot.

Absolutely. Because Mrs. O is the coolest person in the world other than her husband and kids in Little Havana can’t wait to obey her every word.

“There are studies that show that kids who are eating their fruits and vegetables on a regular basis actually do better in school,” she told students. “Did you all know that? So that’s one of the reasons why all of this is important and why we need to make vegetables interesting to you guys … We have here this beautiful salad bar, because what we’ve also found is that if you take vegetables and you organize them in a pretty, delicious way, kids like you may actually eat them more — because it looks kind of cool, doesn’t it?,” she said, according to the White House.

Seriously? Have you seen the size of the First Lady’s ass? A few more salads couldn’t hurt that situation. And we’re pretty confident that the only thing bigger than the woman’s ass is her ego.

Don’t look now, Michelle, but if you organized some Ding Dongs and Cheetos in a pretty, delicious way right next to those vegetables, there’d still be a big pile of vegetables left at the end of the day.

We’ve told this story before, but it’s worth repeating. Mrs Editor teaches at a public school. Every day the cafeteria ladies load up the kids’ plates with free, healthy food. The kids immediately walk over to the trash cans and dump it. Before the lunch period is over, the cans are overflowing with that free, healthy food.

But, of course, Mrs Editor’s school doesn’t have a fancy, government-supplied salad bar.

Surely, that’ll make the kids want arugula.

Turkey for everyone: Barbara Walters to interview Obama during Thanksgiving holiday

Just in case you were worried that you couldn’t get through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend without Barack Obama, your prayers have been answered.

Just in case you were worried that you couldn’t get through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend without a little Barack Obama, your prayers have been answered.

barbara-walters-barack-obama-michelle — Nooooooooo! They're coming into your living room again!

ABC News has the story:

President and Mrs. Obama will sit together for a Thanksgiving visit in a joint one-hour special with Barbara Walters airing on Friday, Nov. 26th, the day after the holiday, at 10 p.m. ET.

In addition to focusing on some of the major challenges facing the President today, part of the conversation will be a discussion of how the whole family reacted to the President’s political reversal. This interview will be Mrs. Obama’s first since the mid-term elections.

The special marks the second time the President and First Lady have sat for a joint interview with Ms. Walters; the first was November of 2008, immediately following the presidential election. The interview will be conducted in the White House on Tuesday, November 23rd.

Our heartiest congratulations to President Obama. It looks like he’s finally found a way to stimulate the economy. If seeing him being interviewed on TV yet again isn’t enough to drive people out of the house and into the stores on Black Friday, nothing will.

Seriously, Barbara, what could you possibly ask this guy that hasn’t been asked and answered in a thousand other TV interviews?

We’d suggest you go with the “If you were a tree what kind of tree would you be?” question.

Michelle Obama named to Vogue’s best dressed list. No, seriously.

The people at Vogue are still drinking the Kool-Aid. In fact, they’re swilling it. Need proof? How about the fact that they just named Michelle Obama to their Best Dressed of 2010 list.

They introduced the list with this gag-inducing, overwritten, under thought out prose:

Whether it’s sleek chic or cyberfantasy, silver-screen Hollywood glamour or Holly Woodlawn camp, whether it’s East End edge or East Egg flapper dazzle, from head (artful marcel waves, tumbled-out-of-bed tousle, or candy-floss high-rise) to toe (ballet slippers with dirndls or platforms with ball gowns), the ten individualists whom Vogue celebrates as the Best Dressed of 2010 are gamely rewriting the rules. Or rather, showing us all that there are no rules beyond staying true to oneself.

Let’s get serious, Vogue.

We were expecting another story like this to come along sooner or later, so we’ve been collecting recent photos that more accurately reflect Michelle Obama’s sense of fashion when she’s truly “staying true to herself.”

Jackie Kennedy she ain’t. In the above photo, Michelle stays true to herself by digging for gold in front of the Indonesian Prime Minister.

Spend until the money’s gone: Michelle’s personal fiscal policy matches her husband’s government fiscal policy

The Obamas are in complete sync economically. That is, they both spend until the bank is empty. And then they spend a little more.

michelle-obama-spending-spree-india — Spend, Michelle, spend. You still have checks in your checkbook.

The Times of India has the story of Michelle’s profligate New Delhi spending spree:

While her husband talked trade, Michelle Obama did what most women love to do — shop. The First Lady, who has quite a reputation as a fashionista and is known to send stock prices of clothing companies zooming when she slips into one of their dresses, ran up a bill of thousands on an assortment of Indian handicrafts and textiles.

While visiting the 25 stalls at the National Handicrafts and Handlooms Museum in Pragati Maidan, she even stopped to woefully exclaim, ”I wish I had brought more money!”

The purchases didn’t stop till the purse was empty. In the visit that lasted over two hours, she delighted craftsmen with loads of Christmas shopping.

No money? No problem? My name is Obama and I’m here to spend.

Michelle Obama tells Democrats to vote early and vote often. Or something like that.

Michelle Obama: “You need to tell them that they can’t just vote once and hope for change to happen.” Spoken like a true Chicago Democrat.

Michelle Obama was on the stump … ugh. Don’t know about you, but that gives us a disturbing mental image.

Let’s just go straight to Politico:

“We don’t have much time,” Michelle Obama declared to voters on Monday, urging them to get out the vote as her husband stayed at the White House and worked the phones the day before the midterms.
Rallying Democrats for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Las Vegas, Obama told the crowd to round up people who voted in 2008 but “who are planning to sit this one out.”

“You need to tell them that they can’t just vote once and hope for change to happen,” she said. “They’ve got to vote every single time.”

“Tell them that they can’t just vote once.” Spoken like a true Chicago Democrat.

“A few hundred” show up to see “rock star” Michelle Obama

Remember when Michelle Obama was supposed to be the Democrats’ secret weapon? Oh, yeah, they were going to send her out on the campaign trail and unleash her remarkable powers of persuasion on the American people.

michelle-obama-rock-star — Yeah, Michelle Obama's a rock star like Neil Sedaka's a rock star

Looks like it’s not working out that way.

The Independent UK has the “L-shaped fingers to the forehead” details:

The crowd went wild when Michelle Obama swept into a high-school gymnasium in Las Vegas yesterday morning, with little Harry Reid trailing in her wake and a local Mariachi band, in full dress uniform, entertaining the crowd. But behind the flag waving and anthem-singing, and the sunny optimism of a typical American election rally, there was a palpable sense of unease.

Two years ago, at the height of Obamania, the First Lady was a sort of rock-star; with a following wind, she could fill an outdoor stadium. Today, her stock has fallen. A few hundred people did turn out to hear her speech, but there were swathes of seats left empty at the back, and plenty of standing room around the stage.

Michelle speaks to empty seats. Biden speaks to 200. And even the Chicago Savior himself speaks to an arena with 5000 empty seats.

Would someone get us a box of Kleenex? We’re wiping away tears of joy.

Wednesday morning: Feds announce war on potatoes in child nutrition program.
Wednesday afternoon: Michelle harvests potatoes with children in White House garden

Michelle Obama and a group of unpaid child laborers harvested crops from the White House plantation. Just hours before the White House harvest, the government came out against potatoes.

We love the way completely unrelated news items sometimes juxtapose to show the complete absurdity of Washington, DC.

michelle-potato-harvest — Michelle's big ass sweet potato: The only White House-approve usage of the words "Michelle" and "big ass" in the same sentence

On Wednesday afternoon, Michelle Obama and a group of unpaid child laborers harvested crops from the White House plantation. Michelle proudly posed with a big ass sweet potato (insert your own punch line here).

On Wednesday morning, just hours before the White House harvest, the government came out against potatoes.

The Associated Press has its eyes on the potato story:

“… the Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences, recommended that the U.S. Department of Agriculture stop participants of the federal Women, Infants and Children program, known as WIC, from buying potatoes with federal dollars. The institute also called for the USDA-backed school lunch program to limit use of potatoes.

Under an interim rule, the USDA agreed to bar WIC participants from buying potatoes with their federal dollars. Potatoes are the only vegetable not allowed. Next year, the agency will roll out a final rule on the WIC program, which last year served 9.3 million children and pregnant and breast-feeding women considered at risk for malnutrition.

Michelle is in favor of sweet potatoes, but opposed to white potatoes.

Let’s all say it together:

Raaaaaacist.

Michelle Obama’s foolproof plan to regain her popularity

After seeing her popularity take a nosedive this summer, First Lady Michelle Obama has returned to the center stage with a foolproof plan to win it all back.

That plan? Telling you what you can do with your life, your body and how to raise your children.

barack obama hamburger — "Please don't tell Michelle you caught me eating food that tastes good. Please."

As reported by The Washington Post:

First Lady Michelle Obama is prodding the nation’s restaurants to add more healthy options to menus, label those items more prominently and market nutritious foods to kids.

Speaking to the National Restaurant Association on Monday, Mrs. Obama pleaded with restaurants small and large to take a little butter or cream out of their dishes, use low fat milk and provide apple slices or carrots as a default side dish on the kids’ menu.

Mrs. Obama said that Americans are spending half their food dollars outside the home and eating a third of meals in restaurants. She asked the restaurants to rethink the food they offer and reformulate their menus to help combat childhood obesity.

Mrs Obama just doesn’t get it. There’s a reason menus are the way they are. Restaurants either cater to the tastes of those paying the bills or they go out of business.

This is a concept her husband’s administration may want to consider. Soon.

But as far as Michelle is concerned, we think it may be time for her to take another vacation. $75,000 a day in taxpayer money is a bargain if it keeps her out of our lives.

Poor Michelle Antoinette: First Lady says her job is “hell”

You know, a life of non-stop photo shoots, fashion shows, partying and $75,000 a day vacations takes a toll on a woman. Just ask poor Michelle Obama.

The Daily Mail UK has the details of the First Lady’s life in hell:

This photo says it all: One grimaces, the other smiles

Michelle Obama thinks being America’s First Lady is ‘hell,’ Carla Bruni reveals today in a wildly indiscreet new book.

Miss Bruni reveals that Mrs Obama replied when asked about her position as the U.S. president’s wife: ‘Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!’

Details of the private conversation, which took place at the White House during an official visit by Nicolas Sarkozy last March, emerged in Carla And The Ambitious, a book written in collaboration with Miss Bruni.

We feel your pain, Michelle. So we promise to do everything we can to get you out of that job as soon as possible. And a lot of other Americans are going to join us in that effort.

Michelle Antoinette ignored advisors who said trip to Spain would hurt her public approval

The New York Times reports First Lady Michelle Obama’s aides cautioned against her going on the early August European vacation in which she stayed at a 5-star resort in Spain and mingled with royalty.

michelle obama spain — Michelle Obama gave the death glare to aides who suggested she shouldn't go to Spain

Nice to see that Barack Obama isn’t the only tone deaf member of the First Family.

The New York Times reports First Lady Michelle Obama’s aides cautioned against her going on the early August European vacation in which she stayed at a 5-star resort in Spain and mingled with royalty. The lavish trip, the aides reportedly argued, could result in harm to her image. “Aides say privately that they warned her there would be a cost to the trip, but she overruled them, insisting it was a rare chance to spend time with Sasha and with a friend whose father had died,” the paper reports. “But the intensity of the uproar — including accusations that she was a ‘modern-day Marie Antoinette’ — caught the White House and Mrs. Obama off guard.”

The trip resulted in the first extended negative press of the First Lady’s time in the White House. Critics questioned why Mrs. Obama chose to go to a glitzy, high-priced resort at a time when unemployment is high and many Americans are suffering economically.

A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll taken during the trip showed that just 50 percent of those surveyed had a positive impression of Mrs. Obama — down from 64 percent in April 2009 and 55 percent earlier this year. Nevertheless, she remains marginally more popular than her husband, whose personal approval rating was at 46 percent in the Journal poll.

Americans dislike Michelle Obama slightly less than they dislike her husband

The number of Americans who have a positive opinion of First Lady Michelle Obama has fallen in the last 16 months, according to the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

Is it her hideous sense of fashion? Her imperious attitude? Or just the fact that her last name is Obama?

Byron York reports in the Washington Examiner:

Michelle's approval rating dropped about 3% just for wearing this dress

The number of Americans who have a positive opinion of First Lady Michelle Obama has fallen in the last 16 months, according to the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. In April, 2009, 64 percent of those surveyed by the Journal/NBC said they had a positive impression of Mrs. Obama; today, the number is 50 percent. That 50 percent personal approval is just slightly above President Obama’s personal approval figure, which stands at 46 percent in the new poll.

It’s Bush’s fault. Laura Bush, that is.

Mrs. Obama’s personal popularity is lower than former First Lady Laura Bush’s ratings in the same poll by the same pollsters. In December, 2001, 76 percent of those surveyed had a positive opinion of Mrs. Bush. In February 2005, that number was 65 percent. In October 2006, with her husband’s job and personal approval ratings plummeting, Mrs. Bush’s personal approval rating was 56 percent.

Hey, Obamas, here’s an idea. Just forget these pesky polls and go on another fancy schmancy vacation. That’ll make everyone love you again.

“It’s already an amazing show of support. But before the card is delivered — with all of your signatures — I want to make sure as many folks as possible get the chance to sign it.

“Will you forward the First Lady’s e-mail below to five friends and ask them to sign with you?”

The e-mail provides a link to the official “Sign the card” Web page, which asks for a name and an e-mail address. Clicking the “Send the card” button takes the viewer directly to a page soliciting money.

barack-obama-birthday-cake — We're going to give the President exactly what he wants for his birthday - another pound of flesh

Imagine our surprise when we got this very personal email from the First Lady today:

Dear IHateTheMedia:

Every year, our family tries to come up with a fun way to wish Barack a happy birthday.

And this August 4th, when he turns 49, I have something new in mind.

This has been a big — and hectic — year for him. After signing the Affordable Care Act and Wall Street reform into law — and completing his first year as president — I think it’s safe to say we will remember it for a long time.

And I know full well how much he credits this movement, and the work of supporters like you, for the change that we’ve accomplished.

So I’m putting together a birthday card that I would like you to sign. Together with other Organizing for America supporters — and me, Malia, Sasha, and Bo — we’ll wish him a happy birthday and let him know that we’re ready to take on the year ahead alongside him.

Will you wish Barack a happy birthday with me?

This year also brought a lot of surprises — some good and some bad.

Supporters like you have helped him make the best of it — by contacting Congress to help push stalled legislation forward, by re-engaging supporters in the political process, by giving back with service projects across the country, and so much more.

And while we can’t know what the coming year will bring, all of us, working together, will continue pushing forward for change.

Will you help make this a memorable birthday for Barack and wish him a happy 49th?

Michelle Obama thinks she’s the First Lady of a second rate country

Michelle Obama, First Lady of the United States of America, who said her husband’s nomination made her proud of her country for the first time in her adult life, spoke to the 101st NAACP Convention on Monday. All you need to know about Ms. Obama is one line from that speech:

“America is still unequal.”

If we had been giving the speech, we would have added just one syllable to that comment:

“America is still unequaled.”

But that one little syllable pretty much sums up the difference between liberals and conservatives, doesn’t it?

Hypocrisy Alert: Michelle Obama campaigns against childhood obesity, sat on board of snack food company

In yet another “Do as I say, not as I do” moment, Michelle Obama presents herself as a valiant warrior against childhood obesity. But now Michelle Malkin reveals that the First Lady wasn’t quite such a warrior when she sat on the board of directors of a large snack food company.

michelle obama childhood obesity snack food — Cheetos, Ding Dongs and Badonkadonks for me, but not for thee

Take it away, Ms Malkin:

While she crusades for organic foods and puts government pressure on corporations to stop marketing fast food and junk food to children, Mrs. Obama herself profited from the very same processed food industry she now demonizes.

In June 2005, a few months after her husband was elected to the U.S. Senate, Mrs. Obama hustled a seat on the corporate Board of Directors of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Despite zero experience, the food-processing company put her on its audit and nominating and corporate governance committees. For her on-the-job training and the privilege of putting her name and face on their literature, the company forked over $45,000 in 2005 and $51,200 in 2006 to Mrs. Obama — as well as 7,500 TreeHouse stock options worth more than $72,000 for each year.

Mmmmmm, processed foods dipped in a thick, rich coat of hypocrisy. Sounds delicious.

We’d like to suggest a restaurant for Barack and Michelle’s next date night

At the “Fragrant & Hot Marxism Restaurant”, you can order anything on the menu and the next guy in line has to pay for it.

Obama TV miniseries in the works, we offer our help with casting

Open TV & Film is working on a TV miniseries based on Barack Obama’s run for the presidency as described in Newsweek journalist Richard Woolfe’s book Renegade: The Making of a President. We offer our help with the casting.

Open TV & Film, a British production company, is working on a TV miniseries based on Barack Obama’s run for the presidency as described in Newsweek journalist Richard Woolfe’s book Renegade: The Making of a President.

“It is early days,” Simon Shaps, chairman of Open said, “but we are sure there will no shortage of ideas for who plays the President.”

Since our British cousins probably aren’t as highly attuned to American culture and politics as we are here at IHateTheMedia.com, the least we can do is offer them a few casting tips. One might even say absolutely perfect casting tips.

And while we’re in a helpful mood, we thought we might suggest a new name for the miniseries, too. They can’t name it Renegade, because that was the name of a horrible syndicated show starring Lorenzo Lamas back in the ’90s. So may we humbly suggest a far more appropriate name: The Left Wing.

Please send a limo and four tickets to the premiere party to IHateTheMedia.com, Mr. Shaps.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, let’s roll the credits for The Left Wing, starring:

Barack Obama Will Smith

Will Smith as Barack Obama. In Ali, he played The Greatest. Now he’ll play The One.

Patrick Ewing as Michelle Obama. Sure, former NBA great Ewing will have to spend some time in the gym to match Michelle’s arms, but we’re confident he can pull it off.
