The X-Files were broadcast by FOX in order to soften up the populus. The idea that aliens exist among us and have an agenda which involves our destruction whilst being pursued by an FBI agent or two was somewhat novel. It was an unsettling and upsetting show at times and was pre-apocalyptic in nature and differed from the 1960's series "The Invaders" inasmuch as it was vaguely uncertain what the Invaders were going to do with us (possibly a "to Serve Man" outcome, possibly not) to the more modern literal brain-drain and rectal probes/abductions of The X-Files and the clear signs that man would soon be destroyed by one agent or another.
Soon after the cancellation of X-Files, the African-American President from "24" allowed a high-concept of someone like Obama to be elected, and the actor who portrayed the Presidential candidate and then the President went on to do insurance commercials(!)...that's how much trust and faith the American public was meant to have in him.
Now we have "The Event" wherein we not only have an African-American President who is being led around by the nose by his fascistic national security adviser, but he is knowingly presiding over the greatest secret in the history of the world: that is that there is an installation holding many aliens in Alaska (who's from Alaska? Beats me...) but that there are many more aliens out there in the world, quite humanoid, very handsome and bee-yoo-tee-ful organisms, who are plotting something; as of now, we are not 'in the know' and neither is the President. But there's big trouble coming...BIG TROUBLE! and the President is very perturbed...he's almost assassinated, he almost lost his family, he's being blackmailed by his evil VeePee who, it turns out, is not just from the other party (guess which party he's from!) but is also under the control of a very powerful, very rich man, who is behind some pretty horrible stuff. The President is consumed by all of this...visiting hospitals, jet crash sites, driving all over the place, and generally not doing the rest of his job, while he's on this show...pardon me, while he's handling this alien crisis.
So maybe it's all frigging TRUE...and the WIKILEAKS is gonna blow the lid off of all this and the President has no time to play games with Lady Blah Blah, Yertle the Turtle, or Orangeman, or whatever we're calling them this week. Maybe he's not playing eight-dimensional chess, maybe he's fending off the aliens...or trying to.
Could be...makes more sense than that he's a mole for the Republicans or that he just doesn't give a crap about the middle-class, the Democrats who elected him, or the country, or a second term. Or then again, maybe it doesn't...
