Obama Learns from MILK
On Wednesday, March 18th, Obama addressed a crowd in Orange County.
Obama: I know a lot of you are outraged about this (AIG Bonuses).
Crowd: Yeah!
Obama: I'm outraged too!
Sound familiar? That is as close a politician gets to quoting from a movie without crediting the film.
Here is the scene from MILK (2008) with Sean Penn as Harvey Milk:
Harvey Milk: I know you're angry!
Crowd: Yeah!!
Harvey Milk: I'm angry!
What does this mean? It means Obama has seen MILK. Or at least watched the preview.
Or maybe Obama just knows how to work a crowd - just like Harvey Milk used to do.

Did he seriously say that?
That. Is. Awesome.
He did indeed.
Maybe I'll post it?
Or maybe I'll move on and write a new piece and you can just trust me.
Who knows.
