1/31/12 movie review

This is a great movie about a U.S. President, played by Michael Douglas. It's a political story and love story. Douglas is both confident and stern in his presidential role and charming in his romantic role. There's something here for everyone...romance, comedy, politics, and drama. I really enjoyed this movie due to the fact it was an actual movie and not a documentary. i can not stand to watch documentaries. the movie talked about the crime bill, the united nations, past presidents, bill for the environment, and much more thing that have to do with civics and or social studies. The two main bills that were discussed were the state of admissions law and the crime bill. The admissions law has to do with your vehicle and the crime bill obviously has to do with reducing the crime rate. Over all i enjoyed watching this movie and it was very good. I would definitely watch this movie again with out a dought, and i would also recommend this movie (American president) to another person.

1) i think obama was just sayong those things to get back into office, because he said all those same things when he was running for presadent of the united states of amarica, but never did any of them. so with that being said i think hes just saying things to get back in office.

2) like i said before i think he is just saying things to get back in office. i do not think he will really do anything for the educational systems because he is wet to do or even show that hes going to do anything he said he was going to do in the first place.

the police attached a GPS to a persons car and tracked were he went and what he did for 4 weeks in order to get a conviction bt was later overtured due to the right of the 4th amendment.


i think it was good that the case was overturned because of the 4th amendment. if the police would have got a conviction from that it would have gave police departments all over the right to do that witch still is not right by any means.

I agree with the judge in this case. I could support the judge because all the woman had to do is stay off of twitter. If she would have just stayed off twitter she wldnt have seen the tweets n wld have killed herself.
