Hollywood rewards Obama: Quid pro quo?

Head Of Shrek's Studio Puts Millions Behind Obama : NPR: Earlier this year, movie mogul Katzenberg got some quality face time with one of China's top leaders, who was in Los Angeles with Vice President Joe Biden. Katzenberg and other Hollywood studio heads have been lobbying for better access to China's huge movie market. Just before Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping left L.A., the White House announced China would allow 14 more foreign films into the country each year. That's as long as the movies are IMAX or 3-D — something Katzenberg's DreamWorks makes plenty of.

Editor: Hmmmm. Did the U.S. government short-shrift Chen Guangcheng in order to get access for Hollywood studios in China? Judging by appearances, not only did Obama's sudden openness on same-sex marriage open the purse-strings, but also possibly his blindness to the dissident's predicament.
