If it was up to me, my number 1 pic to play as Barack Obama would be Will Smith. Hands down. I think everthing about him says Barack. They both light skin and have big ears. It's Will.

1) Denzel as Obama.. Yes Denzel can do the part.
2) Angela Basset as Michelle. Regina King needs a big role but you need a seasoned actress.
3) Regina as Condoleeza..To make that heartfelt speech on November 5th
4) Oprah as Oprah
Let people actually see how it was that day. That when Obama came on TV when he won, noone text nor called anyone until he had spoke.
Let the Movie open with Martin Luther King's "I have A Dream" speech
Also, make sure to show people that were making sure they could vote. Show, people talking to each other about Obama. Also, show in the beginning when people were like Who in the world is this black man. Then show how they become to linger for everyword he said. just my ideas. Well, I took a step and protected my ideas in case someone steals them.

Please don't do these great people a disservice by making a movie where no one looks like any of them. God simply made certain folks, like President Elect Barack Obama, who are simply larger than life and cannot be duplicated. And besides, these's not a snowballs chance in h*ll you'll find anyone in Hollywood that could hold a candle to Obama's good looks and Michelle's natural beauty! Simply put, those two ARE Hollywood so please, save your money, the American people and yourselves the embarrassment. PLEASE.. just let them be who they are. OK? ok
