...budget-balancing and health care reform. They run into roadblocks - from their own unruly ranks as well as from Republicans. They get lost in the details. A tax cut is much easier to explain than a tax increase. A foreign policy based in bluster - railing against an "axis of evil" - is easier to sell than a foreign policy based in nuance.

As the unexpected visitor, Chuck is self-centered and arrogant, and he struggles to understand why the celebrity status he enjoyed at home carries no weight in his new surroundings. As he’s pursued by an army...
