You know what other movies that involved president characters which bug the **** out of me, and my wife likes these films, too...the first one, "American President" with Michael Douglas. I just want to throw things at the TV when it's on. Supposedly this "right wing president" suddenly sees the error of his way and he feels its his duty to "find every American a job!" Ugh! And the other is "Dave." Of course, it was semi-subtle way to get the public to associate these characters with Clinton. I guess since Clinton couldn't actually have a real presidential legacy, he had to have it fictionally created.
I love "Dave" and I never associated it with dipicting a conservative turns liberal President. As a matter of fact, being a conservative, I was rather impressed with the fact the whole movie never ever mentions what party that President is with. I felt the stuff that Dave did was neither liberal nor conservative, just right. Which is what kind of President we need, one that sees past party affilations and just does what is right. Now "American President", yes, that was a liberal propaganda movie to me.
