Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My husband and I watched "Dave" last night, and it was painful.  The bad President in it, Bill Mitchell, was very similar to our current president, but in the movie, Dave takes over and focuses on jobs and the people's needs versus his own.  After he leaves, faking the coma the real President has, the Vice President, played by Ben Kingsley, Gandhi, no less, takes the country in a good direction and passes legislation that serves the voters.  Watching it was enough to make you weep.  But maybe these days there is no way to please the public, as there is such a divide and conflicting interests.  So the film is a fairy tale, but for a couple of hours I enjoyed the fantasy!
