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.
 
everything against Romney is backed up by "facts" too. These "facts" rarely are true facts.

Yes, I saw it. It didn't change my vote, because I'm a Republican. It was eye-opening, though. I think it may have effected some undecideds out there. Obama fans? I doubt it very much.

The information contained in the film is true, for the most part. I fact-checked most of it right after I saw it. It's "what it all means" that's open to interpretation.
 
D'Souza describes the film as "a vista" of Obama's earlier life, following his childhood from Hawaii to Indonesia and an alleged visit to Kenya (Obama's father's birthplace).[11] Such an upbringing, D'Souza contends, has caused Obama to subscribe "to an ideology that sees America very differently."[11] D'Souza asserts that Obama's father’s Kenyan roots in particular have inspired the President "to shrink America’s footprint in the world because he thinks we’ve been stepping on the world."[11] The film further aims to show D'Souza's predictions about how the future of the United States might unfold should Obama be elected to a second term.

The film is producer Gerald R. Molen's first documentary, who said he became involved with the film because he finds the debt issue "terrifying", and believes that the movie illuminates how Obama's experiences before the presidency impact his political ideology. Molen is also "concerned about the plans for the disarmament of the U.S." and feels that "Israel has been thrown underneath the bus by this administration." The registered Republican considers himself a fiscally conservative Independent, indicating that he has previously voted for Democrats in addition to Republicans, priding himself on his evaluation of all the candidates.[12]

Obama is definitely trying to diminish US power on the world scene and he has most definitely thrown Israel under the bus! Doesn't take a movie to figure that out~
I haven't seen it, but my vote has been fixed for a while. Romney.
 
It didn't change my mind because I am a republican, but it did open my eyes to things that I had no idea about. It's another reason I have prayed so much about this election.
 
It was a neat film, fortunately I voted via absentee in FLORIDA :D, weeks ago and it can't change my vote for the Oster.

I know it is. I am saying people publish studies with facts against both candidates. Romney has been the subject of these "facts" about his presidency ( assuming he gets elected) and Obama, as in this case is too.
 
It's nothing but propaganda, shouldn't be taken seriously.

All this boogeyman stuff is getting old.
 
If a documentary is "eye opening," that's the first sign of trouble. I repeat, any documentary that produces such an emotion is to be distrusted immediately. A good documentary doesn't beat you over the head with sensationalism and "deep, dark plots."

I certainly think it should not take a movie for people to be able to figure him out!

No, and I dont plain to. I don't need to watch a video about conspiracy theories to know its all junk, its no different than Michael Moore's materials.

How do you know if it is all conspiracy if you haven't seen it? I assure you, by the left's definition, there are none.

He should. Pieces of crap that inspired every two-bit liberal film student to create the documentary from start to finish before they actually film the damn thing.

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 did not watch it, and I believe only people who were already against Obama will watch it. Thus, this movie does little to motivate people to vote who wouldn't already have voted for Romney.

Because the trailer talks about how Obama wants to "right the sins of colonialism by bringing America down"
