2. Barack might have to play himself......
Because although Will Smith has his hears, Denzel has his walk.

But Denzel is older than Obama, and that might not work well.

11. Obama is visibly aging during the campaign
I think Denzel could pull it off.

15. We can fix that, easy.

19. And Cheadle and OBama look nothing alike to me......
Barack is like way, way taller and more handsome.

I like Cheadle, but not necessarily for his looks.

20. Fun Idea!
We want our movie to have a lot of star power and academy award buzz

1. Barack he is a little young, but Cuba Gooding jr an oscar winner

2. Biden with his hair dyed white Mel Gibson has the dazzling smile for this role

3. Michelle a little young, but I think Halle Berry, another oscar winner

4. McCain Anthony Hopkins could do the temperament nicely, again oscars

5. Palin Sandra Bullock could pull off the crazy quirky,

6. Cindy Meryl Streep would do well, oscars galore

7. Todd Bill Paxton could play redneck really well
