It's uncertain if the film even has a firm opinion of our sitting president, for with Sawyer's reductive preachings about a stereotypical black upbringing, and actions to end a «
limitless war on terror» that plainly contradict current events, the movie is both a simplistic Obama insult and an aspirational Obama fantasy (and if you don't think it's channeling our real - life president, look no further than the Easter egg of Nicorette gum, which Sawyer keeps in his own nightstand).
