I know there is quite a lot of criticism of his work out there and I don't fully understand where it all comes from but, I do enjoy reading his stuff! Chris,

I think its the best WWII movie since Private Ryan. The tracers and battle damage are CG, but the tanks are real. The Tiger is a 1942 veteran of North Africa (Bovington collection), the Shermans are diverse models, but its close enough. They actually ran these antiques through the mud. The movie gets the asymmetrical tank strategies of the US and Germany about right. Defeating one Tiger with 4 or 5 Shermans would be a pretty good day for the Allied side, and leave a lot of burning Shermans. The climax is tactically improbable, but good drama. M-

But then when the GOP starts sending legislation to Obama that actually HELPS the middle class and the lower class and Obama constantly VETOs it (THE POTUS OF NO??) then you will see Obama's numbers plummet.. On the other hand, the one thing (and about the ONLY thing I might add) that I have been consistently wrong about is Obama's polling... :D Michale Obama's numbers will likely remain flat until the new Congress is sworn in..
