'Bobby' actors criticize Bush

December 12, 2006 Dubai, United Arab Emirates -- "Bobby" cast members took center stage Monday at the Dubai International Film Festival to condemn President Bush's policies in the Middle East, while extolling the idealism of the Kennedy era. "Last month's elections reflect the American people's desire to have a better quality of leadership -- a leadership that is not just responsible to us but to our position in the world," Laurence Fishburne said at a packed news conference attended by international television crews and print journalists, with a majority hailing from the Arab world. Joshua Jackson -- who in the film plays Wade Buckley, a political aide and passionate believer in Bobby Kennedy -- added, "For a liberal and humane person, this seems like a dark time in America today."
