Who Should Play Obama?

So Jamie Foxx, Will Smith AND Puff Daddy aka P-Diddy are all vying to play President-elect Barack Obama in an upcoming movie.

Now aint that some stuff!

That's why Foxx has been going around the television show circuit doing his best Obama impression lately. Have you seen it? In case not, here it is. BET is reporting that P-Diddy is throwing his weight around trying to land the gig too (either that or the first Black James Bond, he says). And Smith is talking about he and Obama have the same size ears.

Lawd...

Obama apparently agrees. He told Fox News back in February that Smith is the best actor to play him if a movie is made about his life.

Now, I don't know about you, but none of these cats fit the role, IMHO. Foxx is one my favorite actors: he pulled off Ray Charles like nobody's business and he does an okay impression of Obama. But we all know making us think he is the next President of the United States just might be too much of a stretch for Jamie Foxx.

Come on now, tell the truth! No offense to Foxx, Diddy or our future president, but I think Harry Lennix would make a GREAT Obama.

Check it out and tell me what you think, and then tell me what actor you would choose?
