Much, much, much better than the sequel.
Mr. Obama goes to Washington. An ideological senator brings on political corruption.

That was a surreal horror film which thankfully didn’t last very long.

I’ve been enjoying the old Mack Sennett silent comedies they’ve been running on Tuesday nights.
To: Vision
Been grown up for a long time!
Just think about that movie’s message.
Wonderful counterargument you presented!
I didn’t know verbal abuse was so logically persuasive.

Well there's room for more growth. You haven't presented an argument. Feel free to stop posting on my threads.

The most entertaining way to watch is to imagine Jimmy Stewart’s mentor, the senior Senator from his state (as played by Claud Rains), as “Sheets” Byrd (very much a look-alike, IMO) while recalling how much of WV is named for Byrd’s efforts. The film really doesn’t depart much from reality, IMO.

I made a statement.
You hurled abuse!
Do you really want my reasons why I think that movie sends a socialist message? Maybe you just want to call me names because I don’t like your movie?
I will take your advice and not post on your threads, you don’t seem interested or capable of a civil discussion.
All over a 70 year old movie! Amazing!

I like to forget about modern politics and watch Stewart marvel at America’s founding principles.

Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor of all time. It may sound silly but I like him like he's family. Wish we had more of him around nowadays.
