The American President

The American President is one of my all time favorite movies. My VHS copy of it is actually broken because it's been watched too many times. Last night after Barack Obama's speech, M called and said "he's channeling Andrew Shepard." Within minutes Chris Matthews started talking about the speech as an Aaron Sorkin moment. In case you haven't seen the movie, here's the speech that Andrew Shepherd makes.



Ironically, both men are talking about old, white guys.

He really was, because Sorkin is very concerned with the importance of great oration, and we haven't had someone who can speak on the level that the Senator does in a very long time. It makes me really excited.
