Sorry Barrack, You Aren't "The First"

In another case of Art preceding Life President Elect Obama has to stand in line behind some other African Americans who preceeded him into the White House. Some of this Text is taken from an online Article found on BET's Website.

1. James Earl Jones in "The Man" (1972) - When the President and Speaker of the House are killed in a building collapse, and the Vice-President declines the office due to age and ill-health, Senate President pro tempore Douglas Dilman (James Earl Jones) suddenly becomes the first brother in the Oval Office. The movie follows Jones as he decides whether or not to run for real when the temp is done. Would I vote for him, in a heartbeat.

2. Tommy "Tiny" Lister "The Fifth Element (1997) - Two hundred and fifty years in the future, ex-soldier, cab driver Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) works to save the planet from extinction with the help of Ruby Rhod (a whacky role played by Chris Tucker). Dallas saves the world, but only because Deebo, er, President Lindberg (Tommy 'Tiny' Lister) said so. Would I vote for him? Only out of fear.

3. Morgan Freeman "Deep Impact" (1998) - A comet is set to collide with planet Earth, and President Beck (Morgan Freeman) has devised a plan to save a million lucky people to keep the human race going. Who makes the list? Well, Beck does, of course. Would I vote for him? Like yesterday.

4. Chris Rock "Head of State" (2003) - When fired D.C. official Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock) gets his party’s nomination for presidency he can hardly believe it. But after speaking his mind about society’s ills this underdog seems to be the rise. Would I vote for him? Not even with YOUR fingers.

5. The Series "24" - They have more brothers in the White House on this show than an NFL Locker Room. No opinions here as... I never watch the show.

Hope this causes some chuckles and smiles...

I pick Morgan Freeman as the best president out of all of them.

You note a science fiction thread amongst these various scenarios, Mr. Crease-Head?

That can mean only one thing: The aliens are among us, and the human race is finished.

I'm packin' my bags and heading for the mountains with my Sports Illustrated bikini poster, a case of Hogarten (sp?) and a big bag of unmentionable material.....

Um, I know that you wouldn't use my fingers, but, um, would the fingers, um, still be attached to my, um, to my hand?

Just checking.
