"the president vowed to take executive action if Congress would not act."

This worries me. Shows a president who won't even follow the desires of the elected officials by the people.

This country is going to go to **** if this is the type of president (dictator) we vote in.

He sits there and says the families of the fallen deserve a vote but will bypass congress to get his way?

What a hypocryte.

Not suprised....just utterly/severely disappointed that people find this acceptable.

Not naive. Dissappointed in this country. And thanks for comment. Got all warm and fuzzy. I guess EXPECTING more from our government is naive.

Sorry, I guess I nothing to add.

Expecting anything from government is the country's problem. It's grown beyond anyone's ability to control, and there is no chance those in power -- regardless of party affiliation -- will even try. For some to prosper, others must be made poor; that applies whether we're talking about money, ideals, influence, or raw power.

Made it half way before stopping.

Some of it is worth listening too but most of it is just fluff.

I understand the point of the movie but the point could have been made in 3 minutes.

Food for thought. Many people do not find it acceptable.

A whole lot more than you think. You just have to look in the right places.

I would question whether it was the size or the invasion of corporate entities. Were you referring to the welfare state?
