This was an odd film. It was showing how books were burned because they were thought to be bad to read. I did not really enjoy the movie particullarly, but I did see the point.
Week 4 Briefings

The Clinton campaign is still throwing allegations out at Obama, accusing his future plans of a handgun ban and his former involvement with a former underground radical. The same radical that the Clinton party is accusing him of involvement, Bill Clinton pardoned of all actions during his term. The Clinton party seems to be throwing out all stops in order to gain the lead once and for all.
Many Democrats are hoping that whoever wins between Clinton and Obama can put their differences aside and develop the “dream ticket.” Many Democratic voters said they would like to see both of them in the White House together.
McCain has started a week long tour of the “forgotten America.” He is making a point to visit places in the United States where the economy has moved on and left them behind.
In the next few days, Obama has decided to shift his focus from Clinton to McCain and ready his party in defining the republican candidate. In the upcoming days, many pledges are expected to be thrown into Obama's campaign, including many super delegate pledges.
After winning in PA yesterday, Clinton gave a victory speech in which she indicated that she intended to continue her fight, saying that the American president should never quit.

Clinton has been spending large amounts of time in small towns lately and talking with small communities in order to support her idea that she is a small town woman, and Obama is a more rural candidate who does not understand them.

Some critics still feel Obama's is pressured by his pastors anti-white speech. He has been given titles such as leader and deceiver, though he has provided one of the most compassionate speeches of anti-prejudice since Kennedy.
