"Last Word"-Warren Buffett's Rising Star

Thursday, August 21, 2008

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, he's a philanthropist, zillionaire and ukulele player. Now, add movie star to Warren Buffett's resume. He appears in a new film opening tomorrow called "IO U.S.A." that looks at America's growing financial challenges. The film is billed as a look at four key deficits: budget, savings, trade, and leadership and it argues the U.S. is going broke in all of them. There's a preview tonight in hundreds of theaters nationwide. And then Paul, those showings will be followed by an in-theater town hall event broadcast from Omaha, with a panel discussion featuring Buffett himself and investor Pete Peterson.

KANGAS: Sounds like a great wake-up call for all of us.
