The recent controversy surrounding the comments made seven years ago, during a church sermon by Presidential candidate Barack Obama’s former pastor Jeremiah Wright, has caused polarization and heated debate among American citizens. Although the U.S. has a long history of revolutionary vigor tempered by its founding fathers, has shown great disdain for tyranny at home and abroad, and has zealously advocated the individual’s constitutional rights to speak out boldly against oppression and immoral actions, this does not seem to apply to the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

They are the talk of the town...whatever town you happen to live in. They are the most coveted players in the American political universe right now. They are the superdelegates: 796 elected officials and Democratic party leaders who will decide if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton will become the Democratic nominee for president.

Their repertoire has always been deficient in grace and class. So there was Hillary Clinton cold-bloodedly asserting to USA Today that she was the candidate favored by “hard-working Americans, white Americans,” and that her opponent, Barack Obama, the black candidate, just can’t cut it with that crowd.

Barackula is a short political horror rock musical about young Barack Obama having to stave off a secret society of vampires at Harvard when he was inducted into presidency at the Harvard Law Review in 1990. Obama (Justin Sherman) finds that he must convince the vampire society that opposing political philosophies can coexist or else the society may transform Obama to the dark side. Reminiscent to Michael Jackson's Thriller, and a slight infusion of Jesus Christ Superstar, this short film offers two original musical numbers, "Running" and "This Is Our Time," which, lyrically, are allegorical to Obama's current campaign and speeches. The film solely depicts Obama’s strengths, merits and genuineness while being quietly respectful towards the other presidential candidates. This short musical (run time approx. 10 min) is highly entertaining with dancing Harvard student vampires, fantastic choreography by Victor Tang and Sherman’s physical likeness to Obama is remarkable. Shot on the new RED ONE camera, the quality of the film itself is stunning. Produced by Justin Sherman, Gavin Leighton, Brooke Shirey and Mike Lawson, Barackula – The Musical is exceedingly unique amidst today’s vast online media created by the voting public. The intent of the film makers is to create something fun and memorable during this year’s election. Barackula - The Musical was filmed January 26-27th. NOW PLAYING ON BARACKULA.COM!

Barack and I hangin' out at work. Actually, Senator Obama came to my workplace to use our satellite uploading facilites while campaigning in Indianapolis, Indiana. Of course, he had time to pose with me upon leaving. I was still excited hours after he had left!

What you’ll find is a white televangelist, the Rev. John Hagee, lecturing in front of an enormous diorama. Wielding a pointer, he pokes at the image of a woman with Pamela Anderson-sized breasts, her hand raising a golden chalice. The woman is “the Great Whore,” Mr. Hagee explains, and she is drinking “the blood of the Jewish people.” That’s because the Great Whore represents “the Roman Church,” which, in his view, has thirsted for Jewish blood throughout history, from the Crusades to the Holocaust.
