President Obama to act in a TV drama?

Before getting down to business Tuesday in a meeting with executives from leading technology companies like Google, Apple and Facebook to discuss the impact of National Security Agency surveillance as well as the glitch implantation of HealthCare.gov, President Barack Obama wanted to know one thing: Did Reed Hastings, co-founder and CEO of the Internet streaming giant Netflix, bring advance copies of "House of Cards"? Hastings laughed — then asked the President to do a cameo on the Netflix series, according to a video posted on YouTube. As the CEOs laughed and joked that Obama should make a cameo appearance in the series, the president continued to praise the show, which revolves around a power-hungry House Majority Whip played by actor Kevin Spacey. “I wish things were that ruthlessly efficient,” Obama said in his first public remarks on the show. “It’s true. It’s like Kevin Spacey, man this guy’s getting a lot of stuff done.” Season two of the series, an adaptation of a British series of the same name, debuts in February on Netflix.
