all this proof about barack obama's being unqualified to be the president of the united states and ???? what will be done about it at this juncture??? it's really scary that he was ever nominated and that he can still be elected by just side-stepping and brushing off the lawful requirements for the highest official position of our nation... why are we american citizens allowing it? how do we get him out at this point in time?

They should cast Omorosa as Michelle Obama. In fact, have you ever seen the two in the same room together?

These are all pretty good, except maybe the Pelosi choice. Tom Cruise would appear in the role of the YOUNG JOHN McCAIN, as he is of course the original MAVERICK.

LOL at these people saying Guliani looks like Tony Soprano. Not one of these actors looks like the person they would be playing. This is a pretty back likeness thread.

All of these players in the 2008 election and you forgot some of the most major: Hillary Clinton? Fred Thompson (who, hell could play himself!), Bill Clinton (came back into the spotlight with Hillary so much in the forefront).
I mean, these people played an even bigger role in the election than many that were mentioned. Especially Hillary Clinton. Seriously, of all candidates, she was probably the most publicized and mosted noted behind Obama and McCain! Her participation in this election is part of what made it so truly groundbreaking!
And, come on...all the controversy of this election and you forget Bristol Palin?? Seriously.
