Obama Claims Wellstone’s Legacy

She was wife and partner of a pro-business Democratic President who continued the gravely misguided deregulation started by Reagan, made little progress for programs for the people, supported disastrous pro-business trade policies and failed to take advantage of his historic opportunity to dismantle the cold war budgets, programs and alliances. This contrasts with Obama's history as a community organizer in Chicago and as a progressive state legislator and leader on campaign reform. This contrast gives reason to think that Obama in office would be more open and responsive to pressure from the people.

Second, on the central issue of the Iraq war, Clinton voted for the war, Obama spoke out against it. Clinton refuses to commit to getting all troops out of Iraq; Obama has come around to saying that is what he will do, in the first year.

Production notes

Using the basic "fast food architecture" as a template, Hotzman then forged each of the Mooby's elements -- from the giant fiber-glass cow on the rooftop to the cheesy playground in the parking lot. Ultimately, the production would spend some 20 days, most of the shoot, in the restaurant.

Working closely with Smith and Holtzman was director of photography David Klein, who shot the original CLERKS and returned for a second dose. Klein had his work cut out for him as Smith threw a dizzyingly extensive 360-degree steadi-cam shot at him in the scene when Randal confronts Dante behind Mooby's.

Another memorable sequence brought cast and crew to a local Go-Kart track, where Dante and Randal have an emergency race session in the middle of the workday accompanied by a Burt Bacharach love song -- a moment that seems to sum up the ineffable yearnings and inseparable friendship of their characters.
