Summary of this DVD...
I was very disappointed in this movie, after having read the book. The book was pretty even handed compared to this smear job directed at Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin is more of a minor character in the book and let's face it - it was McCain's decision to pick her, not knowing her at all so he's on the hook for that one.

The cast was very good, especially Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson, but still, fair is fair and this one was very one sided and didn't go by the book at all.

The book was primarily focused on why and how Hillary Clinton lost the nomination to Barack Obama.

This movie had President Obama portray himself because no one is as magnificent as he is in the filmmaker's estimation.

Time alone will tell about these people, but if they would have stuck to the book, and showed candidate Obama's flaws too, it would have made for a good movie.

This is just a propaganda tool.

I am an Independent and right now I am more disgusted with the current crop of Republicans, with the President and Democrats right behind. I sort of like some of the women in the Democratic party right now for personal reasons, but the men are a bunch of morons, including the President.

If they had done a honest portrayl of EVERYBODY, this would have been a much better movie. Hillary deserved the attention she got from the book - she earned it.

And President Obama ranks right there with Nixon and Carter as arrogant, presidents who cannot work with Congress. I am not sure who ranks where yet - time will tell that as it tells us a lot of things.

Would McCain have been any better? Somehow, I doubt it, but we won't know that because it didn't happen. Get over winning, Democratic Hollywood types!
This type of DVD is good for...
the left wing media who drools over every move the President makes even when he messes up royally.
I especially liked...
Julianne Moore - at times I forgot she wasn't Sarah Palin.
I didn't like...
having President Obama play himself. That was a stupid move and so reverential that it is embarassing.
The cast of this DVD...
is a pretty talented lot of people. I was surprised at Ed Harris going for this, but maybe he didn't know ahead of time how they would do it. I didn't think he was that much of a biased loon to go for this.
I don't recommend this DVD because...
the book is much, much better and more fair. The book is hard on EVERYBODY and doesn't coddle or build up a President who doesn't deserve the favor.
