re: #56 simoom

The actual actor seems to look very little like like Pres. Obama. It’s the shade they darkened the skin and the lips to, the eyebrows, the painted on contouring, his longer hair hidden by a hoodie, etc. that’s achieved the effect:

Which still says that this was wholly intentional.

I’d say to the “History” Channel, “shame on you!”, for buying Burnett’s BS series, putting it on-the-air, and History owner Hearst also buying a 50% stake in his production company, but after pretty much morphing themselves into the Aliens, Conspiracies, and Faux-Reality Channel over the past few years of so, I doubt they have any shame left.
