What Movie Will Obama Adminstration Be?

Dave Schuler has an amusing — and yet insightful — view of what the Obama administration will look like as seen through the lens of classic movies.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.

You got it wrong there Bithead -- The question is what movie will Obama's administration be, not what movie has it been.

Of course for McCain it would have been The Manchurian Candidate.
