Denzel Washington
Denzel Washington has reportedly landed the role of President Barack Obama in a new movie and he couldn't be more thrilled about the news!

Denzel has expressed his desire to play Obama for months now, but he was scared the movie would take so long to launch, he would be too old to portray him.

Luckily for Denzel, and us, the movie has gotten the green light and Denzel will play our new President...on the big screen.

When asked about his new role, Denzel joked, "It was at the President's suggestion. The only problem is he has bigger ears than me."

There aren't any details surrounding the movie yet, like titles or release dates, but we are certain that Denzel has been casted to play Obama. Who do you think should play his leading lady? Do you think Denzel was a good choice to play Obama?

I don't really know why anyone is looking to make a movie about the president. Isn't it too soon? Shouldn't we at least wait until the end of this term?

Okay it is Kimberly Elise as Michelle Obama and Terrance Howard as Barack Obama. This would be the bomb!

Correction not Elise Neal (she wasn't in Diary of Mad Black Woman) but the girl who played the wife in Diary (I forget her name) she will make a good Michelle Obama since she is so dynamic and she is also serious enough in her acting to be the Ivy League Educated First Lady.

I think Terrance Howard if they age him just slightly would make a good Obama. Denzel is gorgeous to me even though he's aged a bit but he just doesn't capture the essence looks wise of Obama since he is sorta dark complexion. they need someone light skinned who's younger so hollywood can age them some then VOILA!!! I think Elise Neal from Diary of a Mad Black Woman would qualify as a good double for Michelle.

I saw him deny this more than once in interviews! After all, he is older than Obama now!
