Storyline

Plot Summary:Fact-based story about a disturbed office furniture salesman (Sean Penn) who in 1972 concocted a plot to kill then-President Nixon by hi-jacking a plane to fly over the White House to drop a gas bomb. At the start of the movie, the man is separated from his wife and stressed in his job where he is made the butt of jokes and is an under-performer. Attempts to get his brother’s old tire business resurrected with a black partner is rejected by the banks. When he is officially served with divorce papers, everything comes apart and Richard Nixon’s broken promises comes to represent all the evils that have come down on him. A news story about a pilot that landed a helicopter on the White House lawn gives him the idea for his attack. Bolting onto a Baltimore plane, he attempts the hi-jacking.

Resolved Question: Is Obama taking the USA to the brink of the 3rd world with threats to prosecute Bush?
No president before has sought to punish his predecessor for policy decisions, no matter how wrong or wrong-headed. Lyndon B. Johnson’s management of the Vietnam War was often ham-handed, as anyone who was there could tell you, and his policy makers sometimes verged on criminal incompetence. But Richard Nixon was never tempted to send LBJ or any of those presidential acolytes to prison. Abraham Lincoln, by his lights, would have had ample opportunity to hang Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, but even the rabid Republicans who survived the assassination stopped short of putting Davis in the dock, finally releasing him from imprisonment at Fort Monroe when judgment overcame lust for revenge. Lee was never touched. Exacting revenge for unpopular policies is the norm in the third world, heretofore more likely in Barack Obama’s ancestral Kenya than in the United States of America http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/24/the-steady-descent-into-the-third-world/
Max read this very slowly. 3rd world means 3rd world country like Kenya and other poor nations that use revenge.
Michael P – My statement says that Jefferson Davis was imprisoned. That means put in jail.

Resolved Question: Did Oswald act alone? why is there a need to cover up the JFK assassination conspiracy?
The shots of the angles are wrong. The timing is wrong. Oswald was a Marine reject who spent time in the Soviet Union and his motives for being there made no sense. Could Oswald have been a spy for a Right Wing paramilitary organization responsible for the Bay of Pigs? Oswald and Jack Ruby worked together and Oswald’s "hit" by Ruby was not a random act to protect Jackie Kennedy, but a deliberate action to silence Oswald from revealing more than his statement that he was just a "patsy." President Eisenhower warned Americans about the Industrial Military Complex. President Johnson escalated the War in Vietnam which President Nixon further escalated. Frank Sinatra fans deny his involvement with the Mafia, deny that the Mafia even exists, and refuse to connect Sinatra, the Mob, Kennedy, and Cuba that was controlled by organized crime before Castro and the Communists took control of Cuba. Oswald and Ruby were tied to connections involved with the failed Bay of Pigs mission which JFK spoiled and burned his relations with many high ranking Pentagon officials. When Richard Nixon ordered the raid on the DNC in 1972, several of the intruders were Cuban exiles tied to the Bay of Pigs incident. Howard Hughes held a long standing hatred of the Kennedys going back to his rivalry with Joe Kennedy in Hollywood and was chastised by his staff for appearing to gloat when news came out of JFK’s death. Nixon, Johnson, Hughes, Oswald "the patsy" and not the assassin, Ruby, Sinatra, the Mafia (not the Communists), all conspiring to get JFK killed. And today, we still have little Jack Ruby’s going around silencing anyone who dares to keep questioning US authorities about this conspiracy. Why must the question of a JFK assassination conspiracy remain a closed subject? If Oswald truly acted alone, then why are many key elements kept secret from the general public? If the lone killer is truly dead, there would be nothing to hide. Who is the government continuing to protect from the public? Would the whole truth cause distention and a level of public distrust in the US government that the Pentagon fears would lead to anarchy?

Resolved Question: Who do you rate as the worst presidents and why?
My 10 worst list.
1. James Buchanan (D) 1857-61 failed to prevent the Civil War almost destroyed USA
2. Franklin Pierce (D) 1853-57 bowed to Southern states on slavery issue setting up Buchanan for failure
3. Martin Van Buren (D) 1837-41 sanctioned the slaughter of Native Americans
4. Hebert Hoover (R) 1922-33 unwittingly turned the crash of 1929 into global depression which set the stage for WW II
5. Andrew Johnson 1865-69 (D) his veto of civil rights legislation cost US nearly 100 years of pain snatching defeat from Lincoln’s jaws of victory. 6. Warren Harding (R) 1921-23 2 years (died in office) popular bcs of his low tax policy and just plain luck of economic boom of the roaring 20’s after WW I ….later found to be one of the most corrupt administrations.
7. Millard Fillmore (Whig) 1850-53 created the compromise on extending slavery setting the stage for Civil War. 8. Richard Nixon (R) 1969-74 an embarrassment, so much potential he could have been great. 9. Woodrow Wilson (D) 1913-21 most overrated president ever, his privatizing the Federal Reserve haunts US to this day; only reason I did not rate him worse was his work on anti trust laws started by Taft. 10. LBJ 1963-69 (D) A liar and cheat, escalated Vietnam, cover up of JFK assassination, expensive great society programs Runner ups
11. George W. Bush (R) 2001-2009 I know I will take heat for not having him in rated worse but I refuse to kick a man when he is down. Too soon to rate fairly…give me a few years. 12. Bill Clinton (D) 1993-2001 Promised so much, delivered so little, embarressed so many. 13. Jimmy Carter (D) 1977-81 so well intentioned, so wrong, his moral principles kept him from passing Slick Willy on my list. 14. U.S. Grant (R) 1869-77 most corrupt administration ever, he did however establish the public school system, grant Freedmen voting rights, and used his power to restict violence by the KKK 15. John F. Kennedy (D) 1961-63 Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missle Crisis, Vietnam. I believe had Nixon won there would have been a smooth continuation of the civil rights transition that was started by Eisenhower’s desegregation of schools and Nixon would be in top 5 greastest ever.

Resolved Question: So what does John McCain think of "Gordon The Plumber"?
I get the feeling he must really like him since he’s called him a dear friend that he was proud of. What you don’t know who Gordon the plumber is? Well that would be G. Gordon Liddy of watergate plumbers fame
You know that guy right? Convicted felon who admits planning the assassination of a journalists and described the best ways to kill federal agents (Head shots since the wear Kevlar)
Him and his crew were known has the White house or Watergate Plumbers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Plumbers The White House Plumbers or simply the Plumbers is the popular name given to the covert White House Special Investigations Unit established July 24, 1971 during the presidency of Richard Nixon. Its job was to stop the leaking (hence "plumbers") of classified information to the news media. Its members branched into more nefarious projects working for the Committee to Re-elect the President (CRP, or CREEP), including the Watergate break-ins and the ensuing Watergate scandal. The Plumbers were formed in response to the publication of The Pentagon Papers in The New York Times, beginning June 13, 1971. These documents detailed the history of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Initially, White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman downplayed the matter to Nixon, stating that the information mainly made the Kennedy and Johnson administrations look bad. However, National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger and special counsel Charles Colson advocated a severe response to the massive leak1 in the form of publicly discrediting the leaker of the papers, former State Department and Defense Department analyst Daniel Ellsberg. On July 1, David Young joined the White House and together with Egil Krogh penned a memorandum to Nixon advisors Haldeman and John Ehrlichman advocating the formation of a White House Special Investigations Unit.2 Haldeman and Ehrlichman agreed to the plan and obtained the approval of Nixon. Young was put in charge of the unit and reported to Krogh. The nickname the "Plumbers" came to being when Young posted his name on his office door which read "David R. Young/Plumber".3 Wow Lily if you have to ask perhaps I should suggest some remedial education for you
Focus on critical thinking skills honey

Resolved Question: Why does Fox News think it’s a good idea to keep the Watergate Burglars in their employ?
G. Gordon Liddy broke into the Watergate Hotel in 1972 for Richard "I am not a crook" Nixon… He is also now implicated in the assassination of John F. Kennedy along with Nixon and E. Howard Hunt:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Hunt But you have probably heard him on Fox/Sirius helping them to rant about Obama’s supposed connection to scandals… and claim that Palin’s husband is a career fisherman (when he actually works for BP). Can Fox News even hear what comes out of their mouths? How do they have the utter audacity to claim fairness or balance?

Resolved Question: Whats a good depressing/inspirational/family/drama movie ever?
Something like :
Little Miss Sunshine,

The Pianist,
Heaven,
A Walk To Remember

Resolved Question: Who do you believe shot JFK ?
Here’s what I believe : It was a big damn conspiracy involving the Mafia , CIA , FBI , Lyndon Johnson , Richard Nixon , Cubans , George H.W. Bush, Dallas Police. Here it is : FBI : J. Edgar Hoover had the FBI hide information from the Warren Commission. CIA : Framed Oswald. Oswald worked for the CIA. He was a agent. George Bush is CIA. The Bush family are nazis. Lyndon Johnson hired three assassins to kill Kennedy. The Oil Millionares paid the assassins. And also gave them passports to leave the country shortly after the assassination. The Mafia / Jack Ruby : Jack Ruby worked for Richard Nixon back in the 1940’s. Ruby also has ties to the chicago mafia. One of the oil men LBJ knows owns a hotel in being run by the mafia. Jack Ruby was ordered to kill Oswald shortly after the assassination. Jack Ruby was told by his lawyer to say he killed Oswald to spare Mrs. Kennedy a trial. Jack Ruby has has connections with Oswald , David Ferrie , Clay Shaw , Guy Banister , and Cubans in gun running. The Dallas Police : Two rifles were found in the Depository. Video footage prooves this. The Dallas Police were told what to do. Johnson gave them orders. After Oswald was caught in the movie house, Johnson called Dallas and told them "You have your man". Shortly afterwords, J. Edgar Hoover started putting together "the lone nut" scenario. Does anyone see where I’m going ? Everyone was involved. Why ? Because everyone is working for the same people. Call me a loony. Call me what you want. The facts are there. Do your homework. I’ve read the Warren Commission’s report. There had to be 3 – 4 snipers firing at Kennedy that day. 1 or 2 in the Depositry. 1 on the Knoll. And 1 in the Dal-Tex Building. 1 ) George Bush was in Texas on 11/22/1963. 2) Nixon and E. Howard Hunt keep changing their stories about where they were on 11/22/1963

Resolved Question: What experience really means for a President?
Abraham Lincoln was the least experienced ever but achieved greatness, the old pros failed miserably;George Washington, least experienced politically of the founding fathers but a national hero; James Garfied, replaced by Chester A. Arthur after Garfield’s assassination, little experience, but successful, Dwight Eisenhower never won elected office, the ultimate Commander in Chief and Woodrow Wilson,, Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt served as Asst. Secretary of the Navy, while more experienced had some serious failures. Kennedy was inexperienced and was blamed for the Bay of Pigs fiasco, but also responsible were the CIA, Soviet Union, and Dwight Eisenhower who allowed the invation plan to be put in place his last years as President. Lyndon Johnson, after 2 years, ran out of steam and his Presidency became feckless. Richard Nixon created a doomed White House inspite of experience. Character and leadership ability is what we should look for. Experience doesn’t always matter.
