Barack Obama made quite possibly the greatest mistake of his political career when he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

The mistake wasn’t just the fact that he appeared on Leno’s show, although that does raise troubling questions about the president’s taste in television. While on the show, President Obama made an unfortunate remark about his embarrassingly limited bowling skills

Was Obama’s attempt at self-deprecation really that hurtful? Does he spend all his free time in the Oval Office mocking the mentally handicapped? Is this sort of humor inappropriate across the board? And wouldn’t George W. Bush be a more appropriate Special Olympian President?

The commentariat have gone totally apeshit (a specifically chosen, precise journalistic term) over the Special Olympics remark. And we could chime in with surface analysis of the comment, and the response, and the apology, and the response to the apology, and the response to the response, and so on.

But that’s lazy. It’s facile. We’ll leave that sort of journalism for the hacks at the Washington Post.

Instead, we chose to dig deeper. Why would Obama appear on a late night talk show in the first place? For what possible reason would our president sit in a chair usually reserved for actors and actresses promoting upcoming movies and TV shows?

Could it be that Obama is about to dip his toe into acting? Might this be an attempt to drum up publicity for an upcoming film?

We called up our insider spies at all the big studios, and it turns out that President Obama does indeed have a dramatic movie scheduled for imminent release! We’ve managed to scoop the Hollywood press and get our hands on the promotional poster:

Will Simple Barack earn the President the Oscar he so obviously covets? Only time will tell.

But one thing is for sure… The outrage has only just begun.

Editor’s Note: We just like Simple Jack references and making terrible photoshop images.
