He's concerned about where Obama's lack of budget planning, lowering of nuclear weapons and distribution of wealth is going to take the country. He looks through Obama's own book to see if he can discover what Obama's vision of America could be. Again, this movie has a conservative slant, but at least it's packaging material that is already out there in a unique way. To prove that he's not just pulling things out of thin air, he even takes records of Obama himself to prove that Obama's vision for America is in sharp contrast with the ideas America was founded on in the first place. Things like returning a bust of Winston Churchill and raising taxes but not paying off the national debt are odd choices for a president to make.

Kids these days just don’t have any respect for themselves. Though, I guess if my parents took me to “Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” then I guess my self-esteem and respect would be pretty low as well. Thank God there’s Pixar. Otherwise quality family entertainment wouldn’t make any money these days.

Jackie Robinson sliding into a base, wearing a Dodgers uniform, with the number 42 in the background.
August 6, 2025
With the game of baseball having every other player named Rodriguez or Lopez, it may surprise some people to think there was a time when the game was played almost exclusively by white men. In 1947 though baseball decided to try and open up the game to men of all color with a man named Jackie Robinson, a colored man who wore the now famous number 42 on his jersey. The film “42” is not out to ruffle any feathers. I can't say that I walked out of the film learning anything more about the real Jackie Robinson that I didn't already know. Chances are some people will even dislike the film because it's a safe film about a touchy subject. But it's hard not to be sentimental over America's favorite pastime.
