...film's first 25 mins. trace the events leading to the murder: Air Force One's landing at O'Hare, the massed street protests near the sites of Bush's appointments, his speech before a bipartisan economics group, his exit from the hotel and, as he strides out with crowds roped off on either sides, BANG!, his collapse to the ground (this accomplished by superimposing the President's face on an actor's body).

One of Target's most successful units is in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, and studies suggest there's $1.3 billion in untapped spending on the city's North Side and West Side alone. That, says Dorian Warren, a politics professor at Columbia University, "is going to be worth far more than the $10 wage costs them...
...President is like our father, taking the country on a cross-country trip to freedom. The last thing he needs to do is be pestered by a bunch of brats yelling, 'When are we going to get there?,' 'Why is the sky blue?' and 'Do you have an exit strategy?'" STEPHEN COLBERT...
