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.
