Drake Says 'I Want to Play Obama' -- Say What!

Drake played a pretty convincing wheelchair-bound Canadian high school student (not that we ever saw the show) on 'Degrassi: The Next Generation,' but he's set his sights a little higher for his next role. "I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama's life soon because I could play him," Drake said in a recent interview. "I watch all the addresses. Anytime I see him on TV, I don't change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I'm pretty good at impressions. Slowly but surely, I'm not in the study mode because nobody's called me about anything, but I just pay attention so when the day comes I'm not scrambling to learn how to speak like him. I want to be involved in great film projects. I don't want to do the basketball movie that everyone does. I don't want to do the typical black film that everyone expects. I think that I have enough experience to actually be involved in a real meaty project full of substance." [Paper]

Sarah Palin makes up words, but so did lots of great historical figures...like Shakespeare. In a recent tweet, Palin urged "Peaceful Muslims" to "refudiate" the decision to build a Mosque near Ground Zero, NYC. "Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate." When her creative verbage became the subject of a popular trending topic on Twitter, Palin deleted her tweets, then retweeted the same message using actual english, and defended herself in typical fashion. "'Refudiate,' 'misunderestimate,' 'wee-wee'd up.' English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!" No. [Popwatch]

Acting is lying about who you are so I guess this kid is in position to play a major liar with ease. Gee, I hope they include all the bastards who are also trying to take down America......

I hope he gets his wish, although I would rather play the part of Denzell Washington instead of an impending Presidential disaster. About Palin's remarks... why the helldidn't anyone ever make and issue out of our own "brainless" vice presidents statement when he said " I agree with President Obama that the most important issue is that three letter word.. jobs..jobs...jobs. Hmmm, looks like four letters to me.

OBAMA SUCKS!! He should be arrested for treason. He does not know how to be a president. He takes more vacations than any other president that has been in the white house. He takes credit for things that he doesn't even do. He is also making friends with enemies. I HOPE THAT HE DOESN'T GET ELECTED AGAIN AND THAT PEOPLE WILL SMARTEN UP.

Are you serious? You must dont read or watch television. Obama took 65 vacation days, while Bush took 132 days at the same point in his presidency. I guess race trumps facts!!!!! Stop posting without research, it shows your IQ.

Hmmm. Playing Obama would be easy. Just makes lots of promises that you don't keep; then lie, tell half-truths, and stumble through your job with little to no experiecne; then blame everyone else for your overt failures. Sure, if you want, but playing Obama would not be much of a challenge.
