Down an american movie, Censor An American picture it doesnt like, wrong in not calling him first before buckling before a north korean dictator. This is obama laying it on the line in a Press Conference that signalled all the audacity hes packed into a week since the november election, the deal on climate change, the protective order for people who came here illegally, and including the post of an American Ambassador with the communist government in cube a taking questions from all Women Reporters in todays Press Conference, where will this Obama Audacity take us . Im joined by david corn, and by actor, writer and director sean penn who joins me now by phone. First of all, heres the president speaking about sonys decision to pull the interview, the movie that inspired the hacking. Lets watch. Sony is a corporation. I would agree with the president.

state department to open up the embassy. congress will say no. they ll need that. without that, that could have an impact on some of this. but it depends on how much having a physical embassy matters. is that the house and the senate? both. obama made this announcement a week after they pass a $1.3 trillion budget. so he has the seed funding to move forward with the staff it strikes me as a little pissent. to not let the guy name an ambassador. just seems so petty, kate. it s not like debating. it s saying you can t do what you have a right to do. it s like saying we re not going to pay for the white house meals anymore, or close down the electricity in the executive branch. just seems so small-minded to use your power that way. congress will do everything they can to stop it the way they think they can. i called the man who is down there already ambassador.
