While the political types debate the film Game Change -- discussed in
an earlier post -- there is also chatter about another new production:
The 17-minute documentary on President Obama.
The filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, who directed The Road We've Traveled
for the Obama re-election campaign, drew catcalls this week for what
he called his biggest challenge.
"The negative for me was there were too many accomplishments,"
Guggenheim said on CNN. "I had 17 minutes to put 'em all in there."
The trailer was released last week; the film is expected to come out next week.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he had some
suggestions for the makers of the Obama infomercial.
Mitt Romney
CAPTIONBy Rogelio Solis, AP"First of all, talk to the 24 million
Americans that are out of work or underemployed in this country,"
Romney told a crowd in Jackson, Mississippi. "And, by the way, you
could talk to some of the young ones (in the audience), like those two
in that second row there, that got hit with $15.5 trillion of debt."
"And then how about our soldiers coming home that can't find work,"
Romney added. "You could talk to them as well. And how about the folks
that are having a hard time filling up their car because of the price
of gasoline. It's doubled under this president."
CNN host also mocked Guggenheim for saying there are too many
positives about Obama, telling the director, "oh, come off of it! ...
You can't say that with a straight face, come on!"
Replied Guggenheim: "I'm looking at you right now with a straight face."
Guggenheim cited health care and other initiatives in the face of a
tough "political climate" facing near-united Republican opposition.
"The challenge for me is I wanted to put more in there, I really did,"
Guggenheim said, adding about Obama: "I'm really quite in awe of him
as a leader."
