President Obama’s favourite films

And what they mean for the world...




Godfather I (1972) and II (1974)
The American dream through a mirror darkly – Mafia men take over the American underworld, gathering wealth and influence along the way.

What does it mean? Barack’s fast rise to power is no accident. He’s learnt from the best: the Corleones. Still, thank goodness he hasn't taken their story too literally, or John McCain might have woken up with Sarah Palin's head in his bed.

Like JFK before him, Obama seems to be fascinated by the mob. Here’s hoping his story has a happier third act.
