The American President

“The American President,” is primarily a romantic comedy, about a Clinton-esque U.S. President, played by, Michael Douglas, who was elected after being widowed. Three years into his presidency, he started to date again, and became involved with an environmental lobbyist, played by, Annette Bening. They continued to pursue their relationship despite the political fireworks that had occurred. Now, the question is, is this story likely to happen in Washington D.C. today? I have a few different perspectives on that issue. In some ways, yes, I believe a few similar incidents that occurred in the movie could possibly happen today; then again, I believe that there are a variety of other cases in which it would be highly unlikely to happen in the present day government.

One example of what would be plausible in this day and age is when candidates criticize one another just to acquire more votes of the people. The candidates will condemn their opposed, whether they say things that are true or not. It’s all about impressing the people. That is often called, “candidate bashing.” Of course, that is just was Bob Rumson did; he basically called the President’s girlfriend a “whore.” He managed


One thing I don’t think is very likely is having a President elected that isn’t married. Like I said before, then the media will focus on the love life of the President and not on the issues that truly matter. That is why Michael Douglas, in the movie, is compared to Bill Clinton. That whole scandal with Bill Clinton got totally out of hand and everyone kind of just forgot what was going on in the world and focused their attention on his love affair. Is it really any of our business? One of the things voters look at when they are choosing a president is how their family life is, what their family values are, and their family as an overall whole. In my opinion I really don’t think people would be enthusiastic about electing a president if he was widowed and had a young daughter. If Andy were to try and run in the real world for president, he may have to rely only on his looks.

In a sense, the movie seems to be every Hollywood person’s point of view of Washington D.C. and politics; especially with the whole environmental issue and guns. Those issues and bills that they were trying to pass in the movie would never stand a chance in The White House today. I don’t really even think that George Bush would even take the time of day to even consider those issues a
