i think they did use a black actor for the role of the president to imply that this story is very much set in present day, with the present america has now

however i don't think it's fair to say that obama is the new villain. they are making a point of what happens when governments find out about abilities, a point that has been made time and time again. 'the establishment' is always looking to control, to harvest etc. Nathan has always been a part of the establishment and therefore a part of that. the nod to the president was just to show how far to the top Nathan has reached

Obama is a Klingon. Pass it on.

If you read Beeman's blog, they filmed this before the elections and decided to go with Dorn for the role of the president. Just a mere coincidence that Obama got elected in the end.

Does NO ONE acknowledge this?

I was about to post it if Slyph hadn't beaten me to it. (having just finished reading what Beaming Beeman had to say about this episode)

To recap:
They shot this episode in October.
The American election which Obama won was held in November.

That and most of this season has taken place in march of 07 why would they jump to 09 just to have president obama running the search for the people with powers?n what they wouldn't and this is just a random actor playing a random president that happens to be black wow amazing.

Exactly, it's just Heroes ripping off classic 24 while they also continue to rip off The 4400.
Not that I won't be watching - at least for a while longer. I can't quit you Heroes! And who has said that Michael Dorn is playing a villain? We've just met his character and the only villain I saw in that short scene was Nathan.

Morgan Freeman in the day after tomorrow.

The insurance guy on 24.

The insurance guys TV brother on 24.


Recently and well before Obama we have been seeing presidents on the screen. This is actually the FIRST since Obama was elected to be president.
