Title: Shady TV con-man: Barry Soetoro
Post by: IronDioPriest on July 17, 2012, 03:56:36 PM
Hit Show “White Collar” Debuts New Shady Con-Man Character Named ‘Barry Soetoro’ (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/07/hit-show-white-collar-debuts-new-shady-con-man-character-named-barry-soetoro/)

    It appears “Barry Soetoro,” the name Barack Obama went by as a child in Indonesia, has surfaced again on the islands – the islands of Cape Verde off the African coast.

    The name has been resurrected in the popular TV show “White Collar,” where one of the characters – a con-man and conspiracy theorist who is friend to document forgers, no less – has fled to the islands and is using “Soetoro” as a pseudonym.

    “Barry” was introduced last week as the new alias for the character “Mozzie” in “Wanted,” the premiere episode of the show’s fourth season.


    “White Collar,” a show nominated at the People’s Choice Awards for “Favorite TV Obsession” and “Favorite Cable TV Drama,” is the ongoing story of a con-man and art thief who teams with the FBI agent who first caught him as a way of commuting a prison sentence. “Mozzie” is the con-man’s friend and partner in nefarious deeds. The show airs Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m. Eastern on the USA Network, and older episodes can be streamed on Netflix.

    And according to clues from the show’s creators, “Barry Soetoro” may make yet more appearances this season.

    In a Twitter post earlier this year, the show’s writer, Jeff Eastin, wrote, “White Collar season 4 mini-spoiler quiz: Mozzie will use the alias [blank] Soetoro this year. Fill in the blank.”..

   …In “Wanted,” the character is introduced by a coffee shop owner complaining that “Barry” has been trying to “unionize my workers,” to which the con-man responds, “Viva health care!”

Really!?  I don't watch the show although I am aware of it.

How many of the viewing public caught it, ya think?  I'm figuring not many have any idea who "Barry Soetoro" really is.

If I had graphics arts skills I'd put together a picture of Øbozo as the "Sham-wow" guy.

I've always figured him for the stereotypical flim-flam man.

Except the real Barry would get busted in an altercation with a male prostitute.

The shamwow guy has a sense of humor. He makes fun of himself and his arrest in one of his infomercials.

That's really in keeping with the character---who's big on conspirarcy theories and that "the man" out to get everyone.

White Collar also has a lesbian character which means airtime gets wasted on showcasing the writer's liberal credentials by having her kiss her girlfirend and talk about getting married.  The star of the show is Matt Bomer who came out as a gay this year and is well know for his work to end AIDS. 

It's a well-written show and quite entertaining but it's too bad they have to insert the PC stuff and ruin it.
