My review of “2016 Obama’s America”

My review of “2016 Obama’s America”

Full disclosure, I’m a Conservative Republican, I tend to be Conservative on fiscal issues and Conservative/Moderate on Social Issues. I tried to go to see this film not as a Conservative Republican but to try to put myself in the mindset of a Democrat, in particular a Progressive, didn’t work :lmao: so I needed to change course, and put myself in the mindset of a Moderate and Independent, my conclusion? If you’re an American loving person? this movie will irritate the heck out of you, you’ll walk out saying how can Americans be so stupid, if you despise America and forget all the good she’s done in this World? you’ll walk saying “Go Obama Go” and you won’t see a thing wrong with this Administration. What were my thoughts when the movie ended? God help us, and my other thought is Israel needs to go to town and do what it has to do against Iran, Israel could be the only thing that will right the wrongs that have been done in the past 3 ½ years in the Middle East, because Obama sure doesn’t give a damn about an increasing militant Middle East, if anything he embraces it. I also walked out of the theater angry at 2 institutions in the US, the media who has purposely ignored Obama’s radical background, and the school system that’s fostering IMO an anti-American sentiment in this Country. I went to the movie with my Husband who as I’ve stated many times before is non-political, he hates them all, but he does vote and in his opinion he votes for the lesser of 2 evils, so he votes Republican. I asked him what he thought of the film, he said I just wanted to go to sleep but I couldn’t find a comfortable position, I say why? was the movie that bad to you? he said no, it’s not that the movie was bad, the movie just said everything I already knew, all you have to do is look at Obama and you know he’s a liar who doesn’t have good intentions at all for the Country.

I also need to disclose that I have a crush on Dinesh D’Souza, even at my age I’m allowed to still get a crush, and they tend to veer towards those in Politics :lmao:

Now on to the movie review. The audience tended to be older than my husband and myself, it’s been a long time where we were the youngest anywhere we went, then we saw a couple of younger couples come in, but the audience tended to be those classified as senior citizens. The audience clapped at the end, but I felt that had more to do with the reviews and mentioning people clapping. Other then the film itself being made and playing to large audiences, that was the only thing worth clapping about. The movie went by very fast, I wasn’t bored once, I checked my cellphone once during the movie and we were already in over an hour, it went by that quick. The total movie is 1 hour and 29 minutes.

There was nothing embellished at all in the movie, the movie basically uses Obama’s words from his book Dreams From My Father. An interesting thing Dinesh pointed out was this, Obama uses the word From instead of Of, I thought it was interesting because Obama doesn’t separate the dreams of his Father and himself. Obama’s Mother tended to be attracted to 3rd world radicals, as Neal Boortz pointed out, Obama’s Mother sent Obama back to Hawaii when Soetoro started to have pro-Western views. Obama was sent to live with his Grandparents and his Grandfather was very radical as was the Hawaii School Obama went to. It was through his Grandfather that Obama built a relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed Communist.

The theme throughout the 1st half of the movie seems to boil down to anti-Colonialism, which surprisingly is alive and well in modern day Hawaii, that’s how the 50th State views us. There were many interviews throughout the movie, the 1 in particular that I liked was George Obama, if I had a choice of having someone named Obama in the White House? I would choose George over Barack. He has common sense, he has no sense of entitlement, and unlike Barack he seems to of listened to his older siblings when it comes to their Dad whom President Obama has deluded himself into thinking that he was this wonderful person as opposed to his siblings who felt he’s not worthy of that praise.

I tried to take notes as much as I could but it was hard at times because the theater was so dark, but there was an interesting interview of a man, who like Obama is mixed race, he basically said Obama was elected by whites because he came across as non-threatening unlike people like Sharpton and Jackson, and how whites voted for Obama to assuage their guilt. Also the film spoke of Obama’s political influences, Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, and Obama’s Professor at Harvard named Roberto Unger, who’s so radical that his views were rejected by Brazilians yet he’s welcomed with open arms at Harvard. Just looking Professor Unger up and his most recent rants are anti-Obama, this is what he said via a google search:

Quote
Unless he is defeated, there cannot be a contest for the reorientation of the Democratic Party as the vehicle of a progressive alternative in the country,” Unger said. “Only a political reversal can allow the voice of Democratic prophesy to speak once again in American life.”


Towards the end of the film is when they focused on what Obama wants to do to change this Country forever, total Nuclear Disarmament and debt is what he’s focused on, he’s purposely dissolving our nuclear capability, and is pushing us over a political cliff via debt to achieve what he sees as fairness, equal misery for everyone in the world.

I give the movie 5 stars for the political message alone. People need to wake-up before 1 day they say WTF happened.

Sounds like a good movie, however I don't see it changing any minds. Those who love 0bama won't see it and even if they did they would claim it is full of lies.

It won't change the minds of the left, but it could change the minds of those in the middle. They can't use the movie is full of lies though, a lot of the movie is taken from Obama's own words in his book.

Unless his book is a pack of lies, then the libs would have to admit they are voting for a colossal liar.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

I just got home from watching 2016 and even though I'm a life-long member of the democrat party I now realize that we have to do whatever it takes to get this anti-colonial saboteur out of the White House.  As the lights came up while the credits were rolling, I struck up a conversation with some of the folks seated around me.  The gay couple sitting next to me both thought it was a "fabulous" movie and the hipster barista that was seated on the other side of me said that he was going straight home to work on a recipe for a brew using Kenyan free-trade coffee--he's going to name the new brew the George Obama in honor of Barack's pro-colonialist half-brother.  I voted for Obama three times in 2008 but when somebody does not do the job, we got to let 'em go.

If nothing else the attendance figures are giving them fits.  I heard it has passed up all other documentaries except one of Moore,s (Passed An Inconvienent Al last week) & they tink they can catch that one too.  That kind of buzz will get more moderate people interested.  We went last weekend & the theater was packed.

Anyone remember when I said this a year or two back? I feel a little smarter now. I remember Dad, and I talking about this very thing a year, a year and a half ago. It didn't take a movie to tell him what he already knew, and it didn't take a movie to tell me what I was learning from Pop, or what I saw Obumble doing with my very own (diminished) eyes. Still, BG, you gave us a great review. Thanks. :clap

This man is flipping dangerous. If the American people do NOT wake up, he's just going to go down in history as another commie, leftist killer like Mao, Stalin, or Lennin. Only, he's going to go about it a different way. Times are scary as hell. I don't think it will get to that point. I think the people will finally step up, and do something before it gets even close to there. However, one has to wonder. It's already come way farther that I ever wanted it to go.

I miss President Bush.

Seriously?

George Obama was really good in the film even though he only had a short part.

I didn't read Obama's book, so what struck me most about the film was Obama's anti-colonialist attitude, and basically wanting to put us not so much on an even ground with the rest of the world, but he'd really like the rest of the world to surpass us.

Actually, Barack Milhous' old man was a double-crosser.

The British were trying to civilize then-British East Africa, and thought Barack Milhous's old man a potential future leader when Kenya got its premature (premature by two or three hundred years) independence.  So they groomed him, and Barack Milhous' old man grabbed everything the British gave him.

At the same time, Barack Milhous' old man was in deep with the "anti-colonial" forces that wanted to keep Kenya in the Dark Ages.  They too thought he had potential, and gave him lots, which he grabbed.

But by the time Kenya got its independence in 1963, Jomo Kenyatta & Co. had figured out Barack Milhous' old man, and didn't trust him.  They consigned him to lower-level non-leadership positions, where any of his natural double-crossing would be harmless, ineffectual at worst.

This is probably why he started sucking on the bottle, and ruined his liver, dying at an early age.

I am not quite two thirds of the way through the book, Obama's America.  I haven't been inside a movie theater since 1987.  Too bad the kids of today have no real idea what a movie theater was like in the dark ages.  Kids were well behaved or not in attendance and your feet didn't stick to the floor from uneaten candy, gum and well heaven knows what else. The sound systems were suited to the venues, seating ample and comfortable, screens were large than life.  But I digress. :fuelfire: 

I must say most of the 'multi plex cinemas' put me in mind of what one use to find on Granby Street in the sixties and seventies. :drunksailor:

I just got back from the theater, and I am stunned. Seeing as I am a political junkie, I knew about 75% of what Dinesh laid out, but I've become so numb with Obama droning (no pun intended) on and on that I have not been hearing his blatant anti-colonialism in his speeches.  When I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.  I'm telling you all, you MUST see this movie, and this man MUST be stopped.

Myself. my husband and my 14 year old granddaughter went to see 2016 yesterday. We already knew most of what was in there, but it was well laid out, but did clarified a few things for us. My granddaughter left saying she was scared. She said she can't vote for 4 more years and we (our generation) had better get this man out of office as fast as possible. My granddaughter has been talking with her other grandmother and has finally convinced her it is in her best interest to vote for Romney. (That woman has been a die hard democrat ever since I met her)

Great review Bally!

The wife and I saw it a couple weeks ago - it was definitely eye-opening.  I admit I didn't know who Dinesh D'Souza was, but I'm a fan now!

Among his accomplishments was a CSPAN televise debate about God against the avowed atheist Christopher Hitchens. Even though Christopher was a big lib, he clearly saw, and openly opposed the real threat of the religion of peace.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
