Obama

EDIT: I've changed the sketch i think its better now...see what you think

INT BBC news room

Presenter
Good evening and welcome to the 6 o clock news, the top story today is Barack Obama was greeted like a rockstar last night as he gave a speech in Berlin

They show a clip of the event

PRESENTER
We are with Barack Obama now, he is taking a break from his European tour. This wasn't a scheduled public appearance, why are you here?

BARACK
I spent the afternoon with Gordon Brown and David Cameron

PRESENTER
Say no more, we've had them on this program. Comparisons are being drawn already to a highly charismatic man after that speech

BARACK
(smiling)
Yes i am aware of this

PRESENTER
A man who craves power

Barack smiles more

PRESENTER
A man who is intent on his country being the best and ruling the world (pause) look at this clip it will illustrate my point.

They show a clip of Hitler giving a speech in Berlin and the crowd cheering

BARACK
(shocked)
WHAT I'm nothing like Adolf Hitler

PRESENTER
I thought you knew about it

BARACK
I thought you meant JFK

PRESENTER
Oh no you're not that bad. This is a good thing your popularity has rocketed in an area with a republican stronghold - the deep south

BARACK
I don't care, do you think i want to create an Aryan race i think i have a problem before we start

PRESENTER
Yeah but Hitler wasn't of his own Aryan race i think that's why he killed himself, he's no hypocrite

BARACK
Oh forget it, I'm leaving and tell Cameron he's not getting his bike back

It's a good idea, and I could see it being very funny.

But it over explains, and gives the whole story upto quickly with no surprise.

Yeah, i know JFK gave a speech and there were comparisons in the press in the last few days so i could build it up more with that in mind. I might give it a different setting as well as having one person doing it doesn't work too well.

I mean persoanlly I think Cameron is more like Hitler.

Popular, charismatic, maybe a little more right wing than people think, tkaing over as the only alternative to a failed venal liberal gouvernment.

If I don't get told off, i might bump a similar skit I wrote yonks ago.
