People in the 3D animation industry have had Obonghit's number since before he was elected.
They have been poking at him pretty good.

Did you love 'Toy Story 3'? Many did, and that should have told Democrats something — that Americans may like Obama personally but they aren't buying his agenda.
If indications hold true, voters Tuesday will deliver a powerful rebuke to the Obama administration and its plans to transform America. Also, "Toy Story 3" will come out on DVD. These two events are not unrelated.
Last summer's Pixar blockbuster — one of the best American films in a decade — was a similar rebuke, not perhaps to the Obama White House specifically but to its underlying ideas. The fact that the film was such an immense hit, earning back over half its estimated $200-million budget in a single weekend, should have served as a warning that Americans, though they might like the president personally, do not share his agenda.
Consider the premise of the film. Andy is going off to college, leaving his toys behind. Chief among those toys — chief among the figures that have peopled and shaped the boy's imagination — are two iconic figures of American culture, a cowboy and an astronaut. The cowboy, Woody, representing the heroic mythos of the American past, is a paragon of age-old virtues: loyalty, indomitable courage and resourcefulness. The astronaut, Buzz Lightyear, representing America in the Space Age, is a figure of hilariously boundless optimism, determined to go "to infinity and beyond." Both of these virile, lovable archetypes are anachronisms, most familiar to those of us who grew up before the radical transformation of American culture that began in the late 1960s.
Woody, Buzz and their fellow toys are hurled into precisely that transformed culture when they are donated to a daycare center deceptively named Sunnyside. Here, they meet the modern American paradigms: Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, Big Baby and the shallow, metrosexual Ken...

What Obama will do is APPEAR to cave in and in reality keep on DOING HIS AGENDA to DESTROY our COUNTRY. He will continue to LIE and do what he wants.
"By the time the full agenda of Sunnyside is revealed, even the shallowest of the toys — Barbie, of course — defiantly cries out the credo of our Declaration of Independence: "Authority should be derived from the consent of the governed, not from the threat of force!"
Liberals and rats keep telling themselves, but they know it isn't true. Deep down they understand that the guy is about as detestable as it's possible to be personally. In another two years, after he comes unglued while dealing with the first real challenge of his mysterious and disfunctional life, nobody will be claiming there is anything likable about the self absorbed little twerp.
Another movie that I think has made legions of child conservatives is, believe it or not, Harry Potter.
Potter and his friends are constantly trying to conduct spiritual and physical warfare against an evil that enslaves by deception, and who is the biggest problem in the way? The government and the inane restrictions it puts on the schools and the people’s lives. It’s only when intrepid people push the boundaries of government rules that evil is actually pushed back.
I especially related to the book where they weren’t allowed to learn how to defend themselves because it was too dangerous, and they were told nobody wanted to hurt them and the government would protect them.
I’ll have to see toy story III now. It’s great to see conservative theme movies come out.
You are so correct. HP, especially with Umbridge, was a perfect story for conservative homeschoolers.
If you plan to watch Toy Story 3, prepare for emotionally touching scenes at the end.

TS3 was in my Nexflix queue even before it was released.
Terrific movie. I highly recommend it. Lots of lessons can be learned from it.
Yeah, prepare to cry like a baby at the end of TS3. However, it isn’t nearly as bad as the first 15 minutes of “Up”.
Isn't that special.. Anyone that believe a Marxist is a nice man or woman is delusional..
Marxists murdered at least 150 million people in the last century and made BILLIONS miserable..
AND filled BILLIONS more with severe angst and fear..
**Note: Most of the millions they murdered were there OWN COUNTRYMEN... They HATE you even MORE..

We watched up with friends and we all had tears. The part where the dog was under the porch “because I love you!” got me also.
Does Klavan write at the LA Times regularly, or is this a guest OpEd?
