I have been introducing my boys to FBB (Flicks Before Birth) over the past year. Rediscovering some of my favorites movies has been great family fun.

Jan 23,The day following the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States, I saw a CNN article stating that Obama was being seen by media as "President of the World." My first thoughts were "this is more media bias" since the entire article was about how the media around the world was reacting to the results.
