The New York Times has a piece on Obama suspending his campaign to visit his ailing grandmother and the potential political implications. In one of the comments, someone defends Obama’s visit, saying we belong to “family before country”. Sounds like that line from the end of “Godfather II” when, in a flashback to before the first movie, Michael tells his brothers he’s enlisted in the Marines:
MICHAEL – They risk, they risk their lives for their country.
SONNY – Your country’s not your blood — you remember that.
MICHAEL – I don’t feel that way.
SONNY – Well if you don’t feel that way why don’t you just quit college and go to — go to join the Army.
MICHAEL – I did — I enlisted in the Marines.
Someone should write a book: “Everything You Need To Know Can Be Found In The Godfather Movies”.
