(yes, i know. being played by an actor) being assassinated imo the majority of the country would be up in arms over it. actually i will modify that statement. if it were obama most of the country wouldn't give a damn. if it were done when saint ronnie were president then my comment stands.

There will be somewhere in the this country some lawyer or lawyers who will take the up the matter, there are some lawyers who will attempt to blame the victim of a drunk driver that he or she should have known that the Holiday season is the time of higher percentage of drunks driving, and so should have planned their trip accordingly. I agree that it does set a really bad example.

These Sony executives turned into ostriches when the heat got turned up.....American "EXCEPTIONALISM"....I love it. They should go and start rapping ribbons around the trees in their front yards. We're good at that.You let this idiot scare you...WOW. Maybe we should waive some flags aroud and have a BBQ...A FAT IDIOT KIDIn the morning of the Bay of Pigs....Raul Castro was on the beach that morning and all cubans believed that the US was going to invade.....Raul was asked how he felt.....he replied, "It was a beautiful day to die that morning" Kennedy knew that he was going to have to kill everyone that day,,,,,he pulled his air support that morning.......maybe Sony executives should take a class on "BRAVERY" from these savages on that little Island we whisper...CUBA
