This is a scene from the 1995 film, “The American President” speaking about leadership. I can’t believe I’ve never seen this film before. President Shepard is a widower dating a woman who’s a lobbyist at a pivotal time during his reelection campaign. It is causing some discomfort amongst his staff . His refusal to address his opponent (who has made it a “family values” issue) is bringing his numbers down. How much of this rings a bell to what’s going on with this Administration?
Here’s the pivotal scene of this movie and yes it’s a movie fantasy. A President speaking plainly, decisively and kicking butt! Dream on dreamers cuz it happening off camera, but it sure is nice to see it play out…
I love this movie! Perfect double feature with Dave!
This is actually on of my unhusbands favorite movies. I think that Sheppard is the politician we wish we had because no politician is every that forthright.
