* DesignatedVillain: Senator Rumson. The film goes out of its’ way to make him as unlikable as possible. However all he’s doing is challenging the character and policies of the current President as he prepares to challenge him in the upcoming election. Otherwise known as Politics. He doesn’t do anything illegal or even unethical.

*** For some Australians, the line line, "Well I sure hope "the UsefulNotes/{{Sydney}} issue" refers in some way to a problem we're having with Australia, because if it's anything else--" proved to be HarsherInHindsight after the Liberal Party under Tony Abbott regained power the following year, arguably as a result of doing ''exactly that'' mentioned in the speech about the opponent not being interested in fixing things.

putting that before the Hilarious In Hindsight section means it refers to a "following year" that has not yet been introduced (2012), among other things

** In January 2012, [[UsefulNotes/AustralianPolitics then-Australian cabinet minister]] Anthony Albanese plagiarised lines from this film in a speech slamming the then-Opposition Leader: "In Australia we have serious challenges to solve and we need serious people to solve them. Unfortunately, Tony Abbott is not the least bit interested in fixing anything. He is only interested in two things: making Australians afraid of it and telling them who's to blame for it." This will undoubtedly affect the way many Australians see the film in future, as will the line, "Well I sure hope "the UsefulNotes/{{Sydney}} issue" refers in some way to a problem we're having with Australia, because if it's anything else--" [[FunnyAneurysmMoment Slightly less hilarious]] after the Liberal Party under Tony Abbott regained power the following year, arguably as a result of doing ''exactly that''.
