How about Nia Vardelos (of My Big Fat Greek Wedding fame) as Sarah Palin?

Obama was not born in the United States. Why are we focusing on what Palin wears? Who cares how much it costs? How much does it cost Pelosi to keep her face looking like a Barbie Doll? How about Biden and poor Hillary? Hillary has botox just to stay looking younger than Biden and Pelosi who are both much older than her.

People....Wake up....this was supposed to be fun.....a joke....not about who would take the role or who wouldn't....Use your imagination and think makeup etc....young people play older characters all the time...and you have to read the comments that come with the pic.....I think Hillary could be played by Ellen DeGeneres.

If the news media spent the time and resourses in checking Obama's past as they have in blasting Sarah Palin; if they had done this, then Obama may well be in jail instead or running for the Presidential office.

Most of your likenesses were right on. Except, I think Timothy Bottoms should play Bush and Julia Dreyfus from Seinfeld play Sarah. Pelosi you were way off. Some old lady with a facelift would be better, maybe Barbara Walters.
