The unemployment rate at the end of Bush's term was about 5%.  After nearly a trillion dollars (that's $1,000,000,000,000) in "stimulus" money, (enough for every American to have nearly $30,000), it's still STILL way over 7%.

Critics too often forget that the studios make movies first and foremost to make money, they are corporate entities, created and run for that purpose.  Now if they think they can do that and also bring out a thought-provoking movie to boot, then they will.

Never ceases to amaze me how the Democrats are supposedly for "the little guy" and the middle class, defending them against the mean Republican rich guys, but they themselves are rich capitalists. They give little if any to charity but want all us upper middle class workers to fund the welfare class who are on the go...more

Never had $1trillion deficits budgeted for either, nor had 47,000,000 Americans on food stamps. What has the President done?  Himself, nothing.
