The Daily Show‘s “Senior Black Correspondent” Larry Wilmore discussed last night how President Obama must “calibrate his feelings to a level acceptable to white people” if he’s going to be a successful President.

He can do this with “the Samuel L. Jackson Scale of Black Emotion,” said Wilmore, pointing to a chart of Jackson’s movie characters. “At the bottom, there’s the cool diplomatic wisdom of the Jedi Master Mace Windu, and at the top there’s the furious anger guy from Pulp Fiction.”

He added: “President Obama, he needs to be somewhere between Frozone and Snakes on a Plane guy.”
