That said, does anyone else find it really tiresome that movie presidents are still fleshy gormless white guys? Come on, Hollywood, I remember when Morgan Freeman got to play the president a lot, and that was before we elected Obama! TWICE.
I think the president was specifically cast to evoke Bush, because of the references to Roxxon (Exxon/Haliburton) and oil, but yeah, it did raise an eyebrow at first sight.
