Obama should organize a special White House showing of "The Interview"

Best way to back up his strong statement against Sony for their previously cowardly actions in pulling it. And show him for being the President with guts that he's been.

The marketing is going gangbusters. With such a limited (300 theaters?) opening, people will be salivating to get tickets. The 'Did you see it?' conversations will not stop for awhile.

that is at best a stupid comedy but it is almost impossible to get the general public excited about anything meaningful.

NSA spying, torture, illegal wars, citizens united, climate change - all too much trouble but don't censor Hollywood - we are outraged. Welcome to the America!

Peace

But I think some people should stop and think. Stop and meditate. Stop and get a sense of proportion.
