"The Blind Side" depicts the story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle
Miss Sue introduces herself to Mr. and Mrs. Tuohy as a Democrat. In Primary Colors (1998), Kathy Bates received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for playing Libby Holden, a consultant to a philandering Democratic presidential candidate loosely based on Bill Clinton.
