Blatant Reality

I mentioned in a post a couple days ago that President Obama is named in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and there was a particular scene where his foreign policy seemed to be bashed. Well, I got the transcript to this particular scene for you to enjoy:

[As armed troops in Hummers surround Autobots and Major Lennox’s men, Lennox starts to yell at those surrounding his men to stand down.]

 

Major Lennox: Drop your weapons! Drop your weapons! Tell them to lower their weapons. Tell them to lower their weapons now!

 

Army Officer: Major, there is nothing I can do. Talk to him.

 

[Galloway, special envoy from President Obama, steps out of a Hummer]

 

Galloway: Your NEST team has been deactivated. You are to cease anti-Decepticon operations and return to Diego Garcia pending further orders.

 

Major Lennox: No, we take our orders directly from chairman Morshower.

 

Galloway: I will see your chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and raise you a President of the United States.

 

[Galloway shows Major Lennox papers from the President]

 

Galloway: I have operational command now.

 

Galloway: An alien blood feud has been brought to our shores for which our soldiers are paying the price.

 

[Galloway looks towards the Autobots]

 

Galloway: The secret is out! This is our war now and we will win it as we’ve always have… with a coordinated military strategy.

 

One of the Autobots: This fool is terribly misinformed.

 

Major Lennox: You’re going to need every asset we’ve got…

 

Galloway: What we need is to draw battle plans as we explore every possible diplomatic solution.

 

Major Lennox: Like what? Handing over the kid?

 

[Pause before Galloway answers]

 

Galloway: All options are being considered.

 

[Galloway turns and walks away]

 

Random foreign military personnel: Whatever the Decepticons are after, this is just the start.

 

Major Lennox: There is no negotiating with them…

 

Galloway: I am ordering you to stand down. You won’t be needing this anymore.

 

[Galloway rips on insignia patch off of Major Lennox’s uniform]

 

Galloway: Get your assets back to base. Take that pile of scrap metal back to Diego Garcia too. Let’s go!

 

[Major Lennox stands by USAF Master Sergeant Epps as Galloway drives away]

 

Master Sergeant Epps: I really don’t like that guy. A$$…hole.

As I stated in my previous article, Galloway is ultimately proven wrong and the military saves the day, seemingly without the approval of the president. If that isn’t a slight against the president I really don’t know what is.
