...Sure, every president is criticized by members of the opposing party for more than just his political positions. George W. Bush was a frequent object of political jest—unlike his father, Bush had difficulty thinking on his feet and frequently fumbled linguistically during his speeches. The bygone Bush era was filled with Bushisms; Jon Stewart and his left-leaning cohorts never had to struggle much for material...
...France's opposition to the invasion of Iraq prompted Capitol Hill hawks to rename the fries in the congressional canteen, its stance on Iran could just as soon get them singing "La Marseillaise." President Nicolas Sarkozy's frequent rhetorical pummeling of Tehran offers a stark contrast with the calm calls for dialogue from President Barack Obama.

But it was a series of roughing the passer calls that ignited attitudes throughout Fitton Field.The first came early in the game...
...meeting with his FBI handler, we hear him contemplate a potential friendship with the agent: “I could see us fishing, or whatever.”With a keen attention to detail, Soderbergh sets a fittingly rich background for Whitacre’s frenetic imagination. His frequent close ups-of black and green screen computers and clunky recording devices serve as fond reminders of early 90s technology. Even Whitacre’s paranoid fantasies are very much a product of his decade; at one point he compares his own situation to that of Tom Cruise...
