ZULU - the movie


Barack Obama might displease the 'birthers' about his explanation about his place of birth, but the president has been very forecoming about his favorite movies which are listed on Facebook.

CASABLANCA, GODFATHER I AND II, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, and ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.

I am in complete accord with Mr. Obama on CASABLANCA. The classic Bogart film is my perennial # 1 pick for best movie of all time. The president's choices are very middle of the road and white too. SHAFT and MALCOLM X get no respect from the President, but then neither does ZULU, a favorite of my youth. The opening dance scene with naked nubiles disrupted my pubescent slumber throughout the summer of 1964.

Naked girls, great scenery, and spears versus rifles reincarnating the battle between a small detachment of British solders and Zulu impis at Rourke’s Drift in Natal.

Oh, those naked girls.

Better than National Geographic.

Obama had to love them too, but no president can admit that they looked at naked women or even saying that he enjoyed seeing the Zulus kill white people.

"Kill Whitey."

Only Bill Clinton could get away with such a call, because America's first black president could get away with adultery and maybe even murder. No way a man in that position doesn't get a little blood on his hands.

And that goes for Obama too.
