Accurate Politics in Transformers 2

Blogger BUUUUURRRRNING HOT has posted an interesting political analysis of the new movie, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.

I took my two sons to see this movie on Friday night, and noticed that Michael Bay portray the President of the United States as Appeaser-in-Chief, willing to sell out his own military, turn his back on staunch allies (the fictional Autobots), and sacrifice a college freshman (and the whole planet) rather than take aggressive action against a terroristic and existential threat (the fictional Decepticons).

Accurate? Read the analysis and ponder the last several months of appeasement politics, and you decide.

P.S. - after a quick Google search that found many images likening John McCain to Megatron and Obama to Optimus Prime, I just had to chuckle and laugh at the simpletons who think that the leader of the Autobots would ever agree on policy with the current administration. Optimus Prime is the incarnation of a patriotic Conservative.
