I just finished watching "2016: Obama's America", and it is just eye opening. Anybody who hasn't watched it because they think it's just right wing propaganda is wrong, this is backed up by facts, and it has surprised me a lot. You must watch it, and with an open mind, even those who think they know Obama.

Propaganda does not affect my vote. The films is little more than assumptions built on guesses. The direction and technical aspects of the film are great, and it showsa clear Michael moore influence, but like Michael Moore, truth is not the goal, but instead to present propaganda to persuade people.

What was propaganda? Where he was raised? Excerpts from his book? A deep love and admiration for a father he met once when he was 10 years old? The three men who mentored him? What his grandparents did for a living? Where he studied? The schools he attended? The anti-colonialism his father expressed...that his mother agreed with? Her anti-capitalistic views?

You didn't see the movie or you wouldn't ask the question.

I asked the question, you failed to provide an answer.

There is no need to watch this video because I can see the results of the Obama presidency over that last four years. I'm already concerned about the direction the country is going based solely on one term of the Obama presidency.
 
I have not yet seen it but I plan to see it. It wouldn't change my vote even if I did see it. I wouldn't vote for Obama to be the dog catcher in my town.

Yes, I watched it.


It is a well done documentary. Forget the subject matter, the craft of documentary movie making was very high quality in the film.


Most of the "Eye Openers" covered by the movie were not new information to me, though my wife, daughters, and son's-in-law were aghast at some of it.


I think he used too much of a politically correct light touch on several issues, but then he wanted a wide audience.


I don't think it will change allot of voters selection, but it will have an impact on turnout.
