“HOPE” – Obama Musical Story

This is SICK!
HOPE – Obama Musical Story

Stage is set for ‘HOPE-The Obama Musical Story’
The Hill
A preview of the new play “HOPE-The Obama Musical Story,” was staged in Offenbach, Germany this week, and it looks like a rollicking good show.
The Broadway-style political biopic is sung in English, and all the major characters from the 2008 presidential race make an appearance, including (clockwise from top left) a scantily clad former Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, a gospel-crooning Rev. Jeremiah Wright, former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), and former Democratic candidate Barack Obama (D-Ill.) along with his wife, Michelle.
Even Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, has her own number.
The show seems like the perfect formula for a hit, at least in Europe: Germans are notorious musical-theater lovers, and President Obama enjoys approval ratings in Germany that far outpace his U.S. numbers.
“HOPE-The Obama Musical Story” will debut in Frankfurt, Germany on Jan. 17.

‘HOPE – The Obama Musical Story’ Premieres In Germany January 17
Newsbusters
He’s been in office for less than 365 days, has the lowest approval rating of any president his first year, and someone has actually produced a musical about him
According to the official website of “HOPE – The Obama Musical Story”:
The main character is presented less on a political level, but rather as an emotional person who fights for a new, more forgiving and peaceful world and a better future… Caused by the prevailing tight political and economic situation, societal and social frictions and emotions arise. The people are given new hope by the new spirit of the age.
“HOPE” shows in a compelling and modern musicals, the incredible story of the emergence of a new social movement to a new generation.
Seeing through the eyes of the inhabitants in an apartment-sharing community, we experience the American society which is distressed by the prevailing economical-political chaos, lost in social helplessness – disoriented. People of different origin and political parties find themselves united in the hope for a new beginning. Hence, the battle for the election of the 44th president of the US finds its way into their everyday lives and starts affecting the people in an unprecedented way, letting them share the hope for a better future, despite all the differences.
Interesting, in some cases dazzling characters appear who present the different cultural trends in the society in a charming way, impersonated by a first-class cast.
From the Puerto Rican Ricardo who has had enough of politics, has lost his job and his home, finding accommodation with the African-American Johnson family, to the ultra conservative widow Mrs. Shultz of German origin and the committed African-American political activist Elaine Johnson – all of them are suddenly caught by a wave of hope for change. This hope is triggered by the rise of the charismatic electoral candidate Barack Obama who restores the people’s courage and confidence with his strive for a better world and makes them believe again.
Last but not least, not only do the African-Americans consider Obama as the man who finally unites the American society after all these years. With his message, Obama succeeds in enthusing and thrilling all people from different cultures, religions or skin colors.
The new presidential candidate restores the people’s confidence, allowing them to believe in something again. It seemed that until quite recently, the people had given up hope.
„Yes we can!” – a simple slogan which has become THE ONE rallying cry representing courage and change and has united and changed generations worldwide.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
It is a joke, isn’t it? Isn’t it? TELL ME IT’S NOT TRUE!….no it is for real. AUGH!
“…a scantily clad former Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin…”
What is it with the Left? They eat and sleep hate for such a wonderful person as Sarah Palin.
“…who fights for a new, more forgiving and peaceful world and a better future..”
I think that was part of the intro for Mighty Mouse.
If this kind of thing keeps up I really believe there will be more and more of the Obama-fatigue. I hope so anyway.
