The day Obama assumed office, he was brought by several Secret Service agents into a room in the White House basement. He was there to see a short movie that has been shown, on their first day in office, to every President over the last 50 years.
The room has a movie screen and a projector. There is a single chair, in the middle of the room, facing the movie screen. And the room is filled with 30 powerful people, standing around the room, against the walls, silent, with their arms crossed. These people were: the presidents of the 4 largest banking members of the Federal Reserve Board, all the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top 5 of their Defense Industry counterparts, the heads of three major oil companies, a Supreme Court Justice, and several long-time senior Congressmen and powerful Senators from BOTH major political parties.
The President is led to the chair by the Secret Service and seated. The lights dim. The movie starts.
The movie is a 45 second video of the John F. Kennedy assassination, taken from an angle never seen in any of the released video.
The movie ends. The lights come back on. As one, all of the men aligned against the walls murmur: "Any questions, Mr. President?" The Secret Service and all the other men then leave the room, leaving the President alone with his thoughts....

ANY QUESTIONS, CITIZEN?
