We all have our movie fantasies -- even presidents, it seems.
A New York Times piece on the new challenges facing Barack Obama notes that the president sometimes "expresses exasperation" with politics:
"In private, he has talked longingly of 'going Bulworth,' a reference to a little-remembered 1998 Warren Beatty movie about a senator who risked it all to say what he really thought," says the report.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
