Would it be worse if something like this actually happend and certain other people come into power?My mom told me about this crazy Psychic lady she read in 2000 that said it would happen in the second year of his second term. She was halfway right since she made the prediction before he had been re-elected. Either way I appreciate the film makers shock factor. I wonder if this will be Banned in the U.S.A.

Ain't no way they will ban this movie in America, but it ain't going to be getting play at your local AMC, thats for sure
Of course not. "Banning" is not at all the same thing as commercial theater chains declining to screen it.
Banned? Never. Outcry from some? Yes.
Yeah I pretty much see it that way too. It will be interesting to see the reaction it gets here in the US by the leftys and libs but the conservative reaction is beyond predictable.
to my knowledge, i can't recall ever hearing about a movie (or even book) that ever dealt with the actual assasination of a sitting president. there are a ton of movies that deal with the assasinations of fictious presidents, but never the actual president.
i also can't recall a movie that dealt with the assasination of any sitting leader. even during the coldwar days, i don't recall movies about assasinating the current leader of a country.
point is, at first glance, this movie seems a little hard to swallow on the responsible/proper tip. i am not one to drum up talk about crazy zealots, but i would think if a person would try to kill the president over Jodi Foster, perhaps a movie showing what could come about after the "assasination" of an unfavorable president may get some people thinking...
that said, i don't think the film makers are just trying to try to shock people. Under GW the world seems to have changed a lot (especially here in the US), so the question of what would happen if he were "forceably" removed may seem interesting to ask. Just not sure if we should go down this path of depicting our leaders being killed and then pondering the good/bad effects that my result of that action.
i can think of about 55 million people.
I wouldn't assume that everyone who didn't vote for GWB would enjoy seeing a movie in which he was killed.
I've heard no talk whatsoever about banning or altering this movie.
But the story on the link below is definitely .....and apparently the network has obliged.

And, I don't know why some say that this would incite anyone to kill Bush.
I mean, how many american presidents have been killed ? It's not like the world need a docu-drama to make him a target.
Yeah I was going to name the thread Bush Killa but didnt go for it....
Here are the lyrics though...still holds true today for the most part.
Bush Killa
"I understand that time is running out..."
Here I go, an angry brother finna make his move
Lookin??? to buck him in the city so I never lose
See I???m get him in the crowd with a couple heavies
And lay the barrel to the ground, hold the gat steady
And now I???m ready for my adversary, talk is cheap
I???m lookin??? for a way to make a play and keep it neat
And check it out and make a route and pick a rooftop
And get a spot where the view???s hot, set up shop
"Cause all I wanna see is motherfuckin??? brains hangin???
Another level when it???s me and devils gangbangin???
So don???t be tellin??? me to get the non-violent spirit
'Cause when I???m violent is the only time ya devils hear it
Rat-a-tat go the gat to his devil face
I hope he think of how he done us when he lay to waste
And get the feelin??? of the peelin??? from the other side
From guns given to my people for my own kind
So get with Ollie 'cause I???m probably finna make ya mad
I???m steady waitin??? for the day I get to see his ass
And give him two from the barrel of a Black Guerrilla
And that???s real from the motherfuckin??? Bush Killa
"I understand that time is running out..."
Now who is able to make war with the beast?
It starts with P
Trumpets sound when I push the program
And set my sight on the serpent man
Swingin??? the sword of the righteous
Make devils drop and they just can't spite this
Genocide and the minds of men make
Brothers like me fill up with hate
I smell a skunk in the air
'Cause your program still ain't fair
So who you wanna blame for The Hate That Hate Made
When P let off and pigs get sprayed
Y'all wanna kill off the black man
But I know your master plan
So we'll see who stop the Black Guerrilla
P-Dog the Bush Killa
Yeah, it's P-Dog the Bush Killa
Yeah, tolerance is gettin??? thinner
Cause Iraq never called me "nigger"
So what I wanna go off and fight a war for
You best believe I got your draft card
So bad to hate somebody else
But much worse to hate yourself
Victim to the mentacide of the devil why
Must black folk be made to die
Keepin??? 'em on and on.. keepin??? ya on and on
Like my brother down South said, "Fuck the Police"
I'm sayin???, "No Justice, No Peace"
So I just stick 'em like that
Cause everybody want to get the black, huh
But we'll see who'll stop the Black Guerrilla
P-Dog the Bush Killa
Yeah, it's P-Dog the Bush Killa
Yeah, so where's he at? I might wait
For his motherfuckin??? ass on a rooftop next tour
Buck his dome cause I'm known to play for keeps
Lay low to the flo??? and keep it neat
And send his ass home belly up
Should've listened to the facts that the black's been tellin ya
It's no surprise that a brother got wise
Now rat-a-tat-tat, it's an eye for an eye
How many, got to die before we see
Them motherfuckas don't give a damn for you or me
So wear a vest on your chest and the rest stand still
For P-Dog the Bush Killa
