Obama administration connection

In Berg's IMDb bio, it mentions that, "His best friend and roommate from Macalester College, is his agent, Ari Emanuel, inspiration for "Entourage" (2004)'s 'Ari Gold'."

Interesting, because Ari Emanuel is Rahm Emanuel's younger brother; Rahm Emanuel being the controversial former White House Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama and the current Mayor of Chicago.

It is no wonder that Berg sent a highly political and defamatory public letter to the Romney administration; he's politically connected and it's a well-timed strategy.

Many schools include the "Friday Night Lights" book in their curriculum, and plenty of teachers show the movie as enhanced instruction, so this headline article on IMDb caught my interest - even though, obviously, the original book "Friday Night Lights" was written by Berg's cousin, Buzz Bissinger, who has come out in full support of Romney. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/10/08/buzz-bissinger-why-i-m-voting-for-mitt-romney.html

Thank you to Peter Berg for helping to defeat that morally despicable oligarch wannabe.

Considering he's an Obama supporter, I can only see your post as irony. Admitting to being hampered by the Constitution he has taught, yet doesn't seem to understand, BHO wants to rule by edict. I'm sure the children killed by drones in Afghanistan and non-Muslims raped and murdered in Syria by "our guys" in the rebellion appreciate avoiding a "morally despicable" leader you suggest Romney would have been.

The lesser of two evils is the name of the American game. It always will be.

If you put me on ignore, then how can I notify you when I win the lottery?

Seems like you are the one who doesn't understand the Constitution... that said, indiscriminate drone killings are bad and Syria is such a mess other than the obvious (Assad = bad), it is difficult to say who is worth supporting there. Romney sucked as a potential president.
