David, I took away an entirely different message from Independence Day. As I recall, the First Lady gets killed off in that picture (by the aliens). It was one of a strange little sub-genre that flourished in the Nineties in which a Clintonesque president is unencumbered by any Hillary. See also Michael Douglas, the Clintonian widower in The American President. Hollywood seemed to be sending a strong signal that it would prefer Bill flying solo. And even in Primary Colors they could only get a Brit to play her, which puts Hill in the same category as Hannibal Lecter and the Jeremy Irons character in Die Hard. If I were Senator Clinton, I’d steer clear of Nineties movies analogies.

[UPDATE: Yes, yes, Jeremy Irons was Die Hard 3. Alan Rickman was Die Hard 1. Which further underlines the point.]
