The President’s Speech – David Chappelle & Geoffrey Rush

President’s Speech is a movie starring Geoffrey Rush and Dave Chappelle in which Geoffrey Rush is hired by the President’s staff to coach the President, played by Dave Chappelle, in strategies and methods of projecting more emotion and adding more tangible passion to his speeches to the American people.

Scene One: Oval Office of the White House

Mr Rush:  Okay Barack.

The President: Please call me Mr. President.

Mr. Rush: OK Barack……….You were informed that the House of Republicans just passed an alternative budget in which $60 billion is cut from programs that you strongly endorse.  Show some anger as you discuss developments with the American people.

The President:  My fellow Americans, last night I was chagrined to discover that the House of  Representatives passed an alternative budget to the one I recently presented to Congress. Their budget slashes many  of the programs that I strongly endorse and which I believe will help keep our Country on the course of recovery.  I can only hope they change their current positions……  You like how I worked in “hope and change”?

Mr. Rush – Mr President, with all due respect, I believe that you must generate a little more anger at the defiant Republican House.  For instance….Yesterday, the fucking, asshole Republicans in the House passed a fucking ridiculous budget that violates every fucking thing that I stand for.  Can you believe that these moronic and imbecilic Republicans are cutting the fucking education budget when education is the only fucking hope for the future?  These rich ass-kissing Republicans dare to cut the budgets for the SEC and the CFTC, the two agencies that oversee the fucking greedy bastards on Wall Street and all their fucking shenanigans and our only hope in preventing another calamitous crash of the markets.

Mr President: Ok, ok,ok ok…….. I think I have it……….  My fellow Americans, there are no red states and no blue states, just the United States and last night the House of Representatives passed a budget which I believe does not support the goals and ambitions of all our people. Last month, I promised a new era of cooperation and civility so in that vein I will go back and look at the budget for the Department of Education and see where we can make significant cuts and I will look at the bloated budgets of the SEC and CFTC and work to streamline these agencies to make them conform to our new standards of efficient government.

Mr. Rush: Put on the coffree…it’s going to be a long night.
