Quotes 

• Werner Herzog : Are you supporting Barack Obama?

  Thugnificent : For what?

  Werner Herzog : For president?

  Thugnificent : President of what?

  Werner Herzog : You don't know there is a black man running for president named Barack Obama?

  Thugnificent : His name is Barack? For real?

  Werner Herzog : Barack Obama. Yes.

  Thugnificent : Get the fuck outta here. Barack?

  Werner Herzog : Yes, Barack.

  Thugnificent : Where's he from, Africa?

  Werner Herzog : His dad was African, yes.

  Thugnificent : You can't be serious man. There ain't no nigga running for president named Barack Obama. Hahahaha! No way man, no fuckin' way. I don't believe you! Stop fuckin' with me!

• Werner Herzog : So then, now that it looks like Obama is going to win, as a black African negro, are you merely excited, or are you extremely excited that everything is going to change forever?

  Huey Freeman : Ehh.

  Werner Herzog : I felt my sphincter clench and my scrotum contract in shock at his response.

• Werner Herzog : So, if the election is fake, what is really going on?

  Huey Freeman : The end of America.

  Werner Herzog : I felt despair so terrible that I briefly consider slitting my own wrists, or bludgeoning myself about the head with a steel pipe or baseball bat. But I brought no blade, no pipe, no bat.

• Werner Herzog : Towards the end of the 2008 campaign, the Republican party, terrified at their own sinking poll numbers, attempted to link Barack Obama to radical leftist figures to make him appear un-American. First was the controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

  Rev. Jeremiah Wright : I say motherfuck America, motherfuck America's mother, motherfuck America's daddy, America can eat a dick, America can lick the balls!

• Werner Herzog : What is wrong with letting people be happy? Can too much hope possibly be a bad thing?

  Huey Freeman : Hope... is irrational.

  Werner Herzog : [narrating]  In Bavaria we have a saying: "Der Junge ist ja total bedient." It means "This is the most depressing fucking kid I've ever met in my life".

• Werner Herzog : Are you afraid your wife will have lusty sex with Barack Obama?

  Tom Dubois : What? No, no, that's impossible.

  Werner Herzog : I didn't ask if it was possible, only if you were afraid. I can't help but notice you are like a less attractive, less wealthy, less powerful version of him. It is quite understandable of you to be concerned.

• Robert 'Granddad' Freeman : I'm voting for Obama because he's going to lower my taxes.

  Werner Herzog : Actually, he has promised to raise taxes at your income level.

  Robert 'Granddad' Freeman : Huh?
