Michelle Obama’s Sacrifice: Travel to Europe, Pitch Olympics
When Obama talks about the sacrifices we all need to make for the country in his speeches, I did realize he meant trips to Europe!

An Inconvenient Tax Movie Trailer
An Inconvenient Tax sheds light on one of America’s messiest problems – a fundamentally broken tax code that affects every part of people’s lives. With the U.S. Congress making over 16,000 changes to the tax code in the last two decades alone, many Americans want something better, but few know where to start. This feature-length documentary film reveals the many ways Congress uses the tax code to achieve political goals that have nothing to do with raising revenue. It also tackles the controversial issue of tax reform through a non-partisan presentation of U.S. tax history and current proposals to fix the code. In a time when America faces fiscal crisis, An Inconvenient Tax brings a crucial exploration of the tax code to the big screen.
