Someone on CB suggested Morgan Freeman as president as compared to Obama. It was extremely racist the way it was suggested, but hey i've been thinking about it. I would definitely vote for Morgan Freeman over Obama. In fact I'd vote for him over McCain, and maybe even Romney. In fact I can't think of any other American white or black politician or not i'd rather have as president than Morgan Freeman. The dude is very smart, high morals, very experienced, presidential, and relates to people. Only person I might vote for over Freeman is Dennis Haysbert.

What's your favorite Morgan Freeman acting performance? I'd have to go with Shawshank Redemption.

"Rehabilitated? Well now, let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means...I know what you think it means. To me, it's just a made-up word, a politician's word so that young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did?...There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. And not because I'm in here or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. A young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him. Tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone. This old man is all that's left. I gotta live with that. 'Rehabilitated?' That's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your forms, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit."

I'd vote for him. He's shown leadership and courage in the face of desperate times. Like, remember the time when that comet threatened our very existence, and he came up with the idea of a lottery to put 800,000 people into shelters so that we would continue to live? That's the kind of innovation and forward thinking that I want in my president.

Sadly, if Haysbert were on the ticket, I can guarantee you would not be alone in voting for him. Not to say I would vote for him, but I know of people who would.

This post reminds me of the Phil Hendrie Show where Bobbie Dooley, (maybe it was Margaret Gray), wanted to boycott Hollywood for making God black in Bruce Almighty.
