I thought that was meant to be steve buscemi???
It was clearly a white guy. and his hair was brown
sharewhy does it have to be a president in the first place? isnt he just looking for someone "random" that could do the job as a vampire hunter? it could be a farmer, steve jobs etc. just because lincoln happened to be the president doesnt mean that he's always recruiting presidents ^^
shareyou stupid f'cks, it wasn't obama, because the guy was white. Watch the movie again idiots

shareIf only it could have been Richard Nixon.
shareFirst:
The guy is white so it isnt obama
The guy is texting on a iphone, cant be clinton in the 90
The guy carry a gun and get drunk in a bar about to go murder somebody. so i doubt its any US "president to be" behavior
The guy is looking at the president chopper landing on the news, maybe that person want to kill the president ?
Henry wanted to either help him out and train him cause that person was after a vampire (the president ?)
Or henry wanted to prevent that person to kill the president because now that the vampire left america he's protecting the country and the president in memory of Lincoln for eternity.
So who is that man? It’s the screenwriter and the author of the novel on which the movie is based, Seth Grahame-Smith. We see him watching footage of a military helicopter landing by The White House, getting drunk in a bar and sending a regretful text message about the mystery thing he is about to do—right before he, like Lincoln before him, drops his gun and shows his cards to vampire-hunting guru Henry Sturgess, played by Dominic Cooper. But who exactly is Grahame-Smith supposed to be?
Now here are some real spoilers: Grahame-Smith spoke to TIME last week about the process of adapting his novel for the screen and, because we promised not to give it away before the movie came out, he answered some burning questions about the scene.
TIME: Was that next vampire hunter supposed to be anyone specific?
Grahame-Smith: No, it wasn’t. And what’s so funny is we hear—I’ve heard it a bunch of times now because we were in the Middle East screening it for a bunch of sailors and troops on different bases in Africa and Asia, and we got this comment ‘that was Obama at the end.’
The person I saw it with was sure it was President Obama. And I said that doesn’t make any sense because there’s a phone and—
Yeah, there’s a phone. And, by the way, it’s the back of my head, and I definitely don’t look anything like Barack Obama. So I don’t know, that was strange. But no, it’s not meant to be anyone particular, it’s just meant to sort of dovetail with the earlier scene of Henry and Abe.
And there you have it.
That was my impression. Not who it was but that it was to show a current cycle of Henry taking someone else under his wing just like he did Abe at the start.

i don't know how anyone could think that was obama when the guy at the bar is clearly white. i think the ending would have been better if they had stuck to the plot of the book and had henry turn abe into a vampire.
shareDude, read the TRIVA for the movie...
Seth Grahame-Smith, who wrote both the screenplay and the novel on which the movie is based, explained to Time Magazine that (contrary to many audience members' assumptions) the man in the bar at the end of the movie (the man whom we see texting a "goodbye" message before [we assume] Henry recruits him to be the next vampire Hunter) was not meant to be George W. Bush, Barack Obama, or any other president. Grahame-Smith said, "it's not meant to be anyone particular, it's just meant to sort of dovetail with the earlier scene of Henry and Abe." He also said that he himself played the texting man.
