Daniel Day Lewis as Barack Obama
Look, if you’re not a fan of Obama’s politics, I get it, and I don’t want to start a Debate of the Day about it here. But I will say I think he’s a pretty funny guy, as shown above in the video created for the White House Correspondents Dinner where the press and politicians hang out as a comedian makes fun of all of them.
This year’s host was Conan O’Brien, but the video above doesn’t have to do with him. Rather, it’s a behind the scenes at Steven Spielberg’s next movie, and Obama biopic starring, who else, Daniel Day Lewis. Think it’s offensive for the actor to be in blackface? Well, with makeup this good, I don’t think many people will complain. See for yourself above.
Um… that actually was Obama not Daniel Day Lewis. That’s kind of the joke of it all. He does have a good sense of humor and makes fun of himself quite often.
That was pretty funny, and definitely a better use of his time than addressing the whole Bengazzi thing.
