What was the slam on Obama?

I haven't seen the movie. Someone else will have to field that one.

It's not bad. I mean it's no Mission to Mars.

Uck! Well, few things are. That may be the faintest praise that can be offered and still count.

I believe the idea behind the Obama slam was the fact that the yammering idiot 'Special Director" or whatever is constantly saying how he is there to do a terrible job because the president sent him. I think that Bay had the news commentator mention Obama as a sort of shout out, but in the end it makes the President look like a terrible Commander in chief, who is out of touch with the fighting men on the front lines.
