Politicians are actors

I just finished watching Inside Job, a film about economics, and this Casino Jack came to popularize political knowledge.
OK, learning from movies.

Lobbyist
1. a person who tries to influence legislation on behalf of a special interest;
2. a person who tries to influence public officials to take a desired action.

Washington is Hollywood with ugly faces.
Politicians are actors.

Jack is not a bad guy, I think he still has love in him.
But in that position, driven by financial interests, his moral bottom line is also blurred.
One link is linked to the other, as long as a small wrong decision is made, it will be uncontrollable afterward.

Kevin Spacey is such a fantastic actor.
