Turnabout: ‘Transformers 2′ Takes a Shot at President Obama?
by John Nolte
To My Obama-Loving Friends:
Please read on, this is fifteen years of experience talking….
You’re excited. Why wouldn’t you be? It’s summertime, it’s Michael Bay, the trailer’s loaded with explosions and hot chicks and mayhem and by gawd you need this – no… you deserve this. You deserve a couple hours in the dark, in the air conditioning, in a place where you’re lifted from the stresses, worries, and hassles of an all-too real world.
And dammit, you paid good money for this escape, this drug, this promise of both. Hell, crack is cheaper … and lasts longer (from what I hear).
The lights dim, the movie starts, and you’re digging it. Sure it’s kinda dumb, but you knew that coming in. But the promise is kept. Mayhem, explosions, crunching metal, political sucker punch. Whoa. Wait…
POLITICAL SUCKER PUNCH?
Whuh-tha-hell?
Now imagine waiting for this to happen … All. The. Time. Oh, it may not happen every time, but it happens enough that no matter what television show you watch or movie you pay good money for, you wait for it. That’s right, anything new that comes out of Hollywood cannot be viewed without waiting for it. You’re always on guard and can never completely relax because the insult, the breaking of the spell, the cheap shot, the sucker punch can come at anytime from anywhere…
If this report is true…
“In this movie, exactly one real-life politician is named: “President Obama.” They went out of their way to make sure they named the craven, obstructionist president as Obama.”
…and I’ll know for sure in less than a couple hours, please do get all “So what gives?” over it, and know that you have our sympathy. Kind of.

Saw it, had no idea that there would be a wee swipe at Obama, mostly indirectly. Blink and you miss it, really. When the military guy informed his boss that Obama's liason has arrived, he gave a very obvious eye roll. Optimus Prime was definately not thrilled with our "leader" and warned the liason that him and the President was making a gigantic mistake.
