President “a cross between Denzel Washington and Franklin Roosevelt”

Amusingly enough, after Biden got buried by a “plagiarism row,” and had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race when he “borrowed” heavily from Lord Neil Kinnock’s speech, the two men became pals. Lord Kinnock swears that, in 2007, Joe Biden predicted Obama would win, and told Kinnock:

“Well, there isn’t one person I could compare him to, but he’s like a cross between Denzel Washington and Franklin Roosevelt.”

Okay. I know you’re dying to share. To which two actors and politicians would you compare PBO?

“Joe Biden…Deep thoughts”

…WHAT, he has them? Who knew!?!

Personally I think Weary Barry is a cross between Curious George and Urkel, but neither was a Politician. Then again, neither is Weary Barry, he’s just playin’ one, driven by ego and a powertrip.

I knew Denzel Washington (just kidding) Barack, you’re no Washington.

At least Denzel has a dignified American name.

OH, I would compare him to Sean Penn and Mel Gibson–neither of which I can stand.

2 actors who work hard to brake things down…

maybe it’s just part of a movie….

Like a scary movie where all watching now!
Sure this will become a movie one day.

Mel Gibson tries NOT to be understood, IMHO.
Interesting though, his suicide thoughts and struggle not to jump out that skyscraper window. Perhaps he is self-centered so that never considered that he might fall on some poor wretch below and kill them as well. Does that make him as loathsome as a homicide/suicide bomber? I doubt it.
Mel overplays his long lost boyish charm perhaps but his Christ movie more than makes up for his shortcomings, again in my humble opinion. He really told Hollywood to ingest feces and EXPIRE and I like that. Of course, Mel’s phone is not exactly ringing off the wall with juicy movie parts, but who said it EVER did?

Cheers,

Thank you for the fun question.

I see him as Mobutu Sese Seko and Pee Wee Herman.

When Obama stammers when there isn’t a teleprompter around he reminds me of the late Foster Brooks .
No other human being’s ears stick out like his so I too have to go with Curious George.
so my answer is
Curious George + Foster Brooks = Obama

Foster Brooks was funny, Øbama and Biden are jokes.

and biden? well the saying about thinking he was a fool and he opened his mouth and confirmed it is certainly true. cheney whom i loathed was and should have been taken seriously but biden? please!

Barky strikes me as a cross between the character Ted Baxter (I forget who the actor was) and Gracie Allen.

Don Knotts and Jimmy Carter.

Obama:
Chevy Chase and Ted Kennedy.
(dopey, clueless, annoying, and unworthy)

How about Biden:
David Hasselhoff and Millard Fillmore
(good looking recipient of otherwise unexplainable wild success and entirely forgettable)

LOL can we cut out the goodlooking part?

Stevie Wonder for the head bobing side to side and Nixon

Does Mr. Bidens definition of Obama’s genius include the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs each month after giving billions of dollars to big business?

Across between Chauncey Gardener and Paul Poitier
1979 Peter Sellers final film “Being There’
Chance, a simple gardener who has spent his entire life in a big house with an old man where he tends the garden and watches TV. The old man dies,and through a series of misunderstandings, Chance becomes known as Chauncey Gardener. Because he presents himself as a man of good breeding (he walks and talks like the wealthy older man whose house he lived in, and wears the man’s tailored suits) his utterances about gardening are interpreted as evidence of deep wisdom and understanding. Chauncey becomes a media darling who is touted by political power brokers to become the next president.
1990 play/1993 film “Six Degrees of Separation” Art dealers and wealthy sophisticates, the Kittredges, live in a luxurious apartment and maintain a lavish lifestyle. One day Paul Poitier(purportedly Sidney’s son), a charming, literate, insightful, young black man arrives at the door. After giving him money, shelter and their trust, they are shocked to learn that they were conned along with many others in their social circle. In reality, He’s a fraud…

I had just been thinking about “Six Degrees of Seperation.”

Funny how that movie is never played on any of the myraid cable stations.

The Chauncey Gardener comparison also hit me early on. Good explanation eleana!

How about that crazy, charismatic, Jim Jones, who led all those people to commit mass suicide, and Sally Field, who wants everyone to really, really, like her? He’s both dangerous and needy.

Although there was a great riff going on over in the comments to one of the entries at Liberal Rapture ( http://www.liberalrapture.com ) stating that PBO is really President Buddy Love (the alter-ego of the Nutty Professor).

A cross between–
Eddie Haskel from the show, Leave It to Beaver and Tom Ripley from the film, The Talented Mr.Ripley.

My three and a half year old grandson would be very indignant at those of you comparing him to Curious George. Although he informed me one day he was playing Barack Obama because “he’s my presdent”.

Obama is like a cross between-
Denzel Washington’s crooked cop character in,”Training Day.”

and Jim Carrey’s lying lawyer character in, ”Liar Liar”.

A combination of:

Sinclair Lewis’ corrupt preacher, “Elmer Gantry”

George Orwell’s Big Brother of “1984″

Woody Allen’s “Zelig” who tried to be all things to all people
