Feel free to come and share your own personal insights sometime; the Saturday Night Video and Discussions here in Austin, Texas are a lot of fun and fascinating. (They're free, too.) Here are the questions the group came up with, based on the personal growth themes in the movie:

THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT

  1. What makes me hold back? What makes me act?
  2. What image or images do I present of myself to others?
  3. What values do I hold most dear?
  4. How proud am I of the people I have dated?
  5. What things about my country do I most admire? Least admire?
  6. How easy or difficult is it for me to act in ways that other people judge?
  7. How often have I taken the initiative to break up with someone, and how easy or difficult was that for me?
