Obama is now considering another prime-time address to the American people.  He has now had so mush prime-time hours he should really get a regular slot on NBC.  While people are tiring of these constant "Infomercials" that are trying to sell Obamacare as the next best thing since the George Forman Grill,  there may be a call for a new drama/sitcom that NBC may want to explore.

Title - "The Obamas"  (a small takeoff on an HBO drama you all may be familiar with)

Cast of Characters

Obama - the patriarch of this family.  He will have to constantly take on radical ghosts of his past who will come into play on a regular basis.  Some will be given high-level czar positions and have billions of stimulus dollars at their feet with little or NO oversight. Obama will be torn as he must appear to be "moderate" when down deep he is as left as left can get.  He will struggle with tele-prompters that will fail in the middle of critical speeches and low level support staff will "pay" for their stupidity.  He will of course be followed by a large group of lap-dog reporters constantly asking for his autograph and a chance to have a photo with him (and maybe even an interview).  He will tire of these idiots from time to time as they are such suck ups (See Joe Gibbs later on)

Michele - the matriarch of the family.  She will struggle trying to keep the strong yet feminine view in front of the public.  She will need to have constant workout regimens to keep her arms in great shape.  She will be torn between being the mother she knows down deep she needs to be but yet be the inner-city power broker she also sees as her higher calling.  She must also be constantly channeling her inner-Jackie at all times and be forced to wear overpriced clothes from French fashion designers (even if she's handing out secondhand clothes at the local Salvation Army).  She will lament that it, "It's a tough life, but someone's got to do it".

The Children - they will give lighthearted situational comedy as they throw sleep-overs with the Jonas Brothers and have food fights with the White House staff.  They can also provide "teach-able moments" to the viewers as they struggle to understand the history they are being taught at school with the radical history their parents had long taught them back in Chicago.

"Crazy" Uncle Joe Biden - Crazy Uncle Joe will spend most of his time strapped to a chair with a sock stuffed in his mouth. When allowed to, he will provide additional comedy relief as he speaks moments of "liberal truth" that will ultimately end with the sock being shoved quickly back into his mouth and his chair rolled back into the closet.  From there, muffled cries of "I'm sorry!" will emanate throughout the White House.  Note: its is not certain if Uncle Joe's role (contract) will be continued for a 2nd term or not.  But for now he is of little threat (or use for that matter) to the current administration.  We will just have to wait and see...

"Clueless" Joe Gibbs - Joe's character will mostly be based on Mr Burn's assistant "Smithers" from "The Simpson's" as every sit-com needs a stupid, gutless, suck-up to follow them around.  Joe's favorite line will be:   "What do I say?  What do I say?  I can't handle logic!" which will get rounds of laughs from the fake audience.   He will of course get no respect from either his boss or his suck-up counterparts in the media (who know they can do his job better than he does it).  He will be mostly used as a "tool" for the administration and will be constantly in fear of being terminated only to be saved by the public's short attention span and a constant barrage of FAKE crisis situations. 

Side Characters

Rahm Emmanuel - Rahm will play the foul-mouthed "business" associate.  Known for his long tirade of 4 letter words (he once said that "the Republicans can go F--- themselves")  he will act as the White House bulldog and beat down any person who threatens the president's agenda.   He will make calls to "educate" a variety of governors who receive stimulus money as to what their role is in this country (he actually did this).  He and Obama will have quiet moments in the "O"val office reminiscing about the good old days back in Chicago when all you needed to get things done was a pre-stuffed ballot box and a baseball bat. 

Nancy Pelosi - no sit-com would be complete  without the nosey neighbor who is constantly coming around uninvited and wasting their time with long drawn out stories of having to sit on a lear-jet for hours making trips back to the left-coast to see her "constituents"  (some times referred to as "astroturf").   She could fly in on a broom or appear in a puff of smoke (we won't even need special effects either), but that would come too close to the Bewitched show of the 60's.  She will constantly get into fights with Rahm and will remind the president that she is just 1 heart beat and a declaration of insanity (see Uncle Joe Biden) from the presidency.  Of course these will always be said "in jest" so as to not require the help of the Secret Service.  She will also remind Obama that while he is "currently" limited to two 4 year terms, she has NO SUCH LIMITS and that given the culture of her district she is essentially QUEEN-FOR-LIFE .... Ha Ha Ha Ha... and POOOF!  She's gone!

Andy Stern (head of SEUI) - what Mob drama would be complete without the "union boss" to kick around from time to time.  Andy's lines however will be limited to: 

    - How much money?
    - How many people do you want to show up at ______?
    - Who do you want educated?
    - YES SIR!  YES SIR! YES SIR!

Reverend Wright - as another "crazy uncle", Rev Wriight will show up from time to time just to say HI to the family and will inquire why he hasn't seen them in church recently (or EVER for that matter).  There will be muffled, low-tone discussions between him and Obama about that "M-thing" and certain service videos that may be damaging.  But the two will remain friends and each of their meetings will end with "handshakes" and winks of their eyes to each other.

Mark Lloyd (FCC diversity czar)- Mark will call in most of his dialogue from Venezuela as he receives his training from the Jedi-Master of communication control, Hugo Chavez.  When he has mastered the art of "community mind control"  he will return to implement "the Plan" to control the evil Talk-Radio system that has been a thorn in the side of liberals for decades.  (sorry if this is decaying into a Star Wars theme, I just could not resist).

The Czars  - Obama could be shown preciding over meetings at a large round table with all of his czars in full attendence.   He can give speeches to them reminding them of who they owe their allegiance to and how they answer to no one BUT him!   He can talk about how the other "secretaries" are nothing more than window dressing and that THEY are the real wheelers and dealers.   Occasionally one of these czars could get into trouble by being too "greedy" or "too loud" and be replaced at the will of the president.  

Hilary Clinton - Hilary plays the constant competing democratic "boss" whose real goal is to ultimately replace Obama.  Obama, in his wisdom, follows the Mob's cardinal rule:  Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.   By giving her a position as Secretary of State he accomplishes that goal at the same time having reasons to send her away to places like Zimbabway or Nigeria and too busy to re-ignite her political base here at home.  She will on occasion be seen trying out "the chair" in the Oval office pretending to be the president and gaining great satisfaction from it  (could make for some very funny "dream sequences").  Her husband, Bill, will make occasional appearances and will be seen hitting on various staff members (maybe even Michele?  We don't know yet) and searching the White House for hidden playboy magazines.  Obama will also have to endure long drawn out "speeches" from Bill on what he did during "similar situations" when he was president.  For comedic relief the president could call on the Secret Service to remove Bill from the office.

As you can clearly see, the plot lines would almost write themselves and given the crappy writers at NBC these days, I think they should look good and hard into this to help them boost their ratings.

oh but wait.... they may get a visit from Rahm ..... just forget it!
