Like the rest of America, the Obamas are watching 'Avatar'
What did the first family think of James Cameron's epic?
Like most of America Barack Obama and his family are seeing 'Avatar.'
KANEOHE, Hawaii (AP) — President Barack Obama's family is watching the movie "Avatar." The Obamas visited a movie theater near their rented vacation home in Hawaii on Thursday morning for a screening of the sci-fi spectacular. Officials say the first family had the theater to themselves to watch director James Cameron's tech-heavy film. The Obamas, including first daughters Sasha and Malia, left their compound before noon on New Year's Eve. Before the screening, Obama, a self-described movie buff, worked out at the Marine Corps base nearby. The Obamas are set to return to Washington in the new year.

IT REMINDED ME OF THE FAMOUS CHILDREN'S STORY ABOUT THE MOUSE AND THE LION.
ALTHOUGH, CANADIAN, I THINK AND BELEIVE THE AMERICANS SHOULD BE PROUD AND THANKFUL THAT OBAMA IS THEIR PRESIDENT, THEY FINALLY HAVE AN INTELLIGENT, FAMILY MAN THAT ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN THE AMERICAN DREAM AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. CANADA SHOULD BE SO LUCKY
