You might want to pay closer attention to what's going on around you - Willard is sinking, and sinking fast and deep - and that so-called movie isn't going to save his candidacy.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!!!!!

And this is coming from a leftist, who's leftist friends wonder the difference between "democrate" and "democratic."

And this will be in areas where generations have worked in the industry, where none of them are well to do and where not much else in the way of jobs is available. That's what you call being between a rock and a hard place. And Obama will put them there intentionally.

He also said electric rates will skyrocket. Does anyone remember that? Yes, we'll save a lot on gas by switching to electric cars, but we'll pay far more to charge them up every night for the next day's commutes. Quite a novel solution.

If you haven't seen the film, I'd suggest you see it and judge for yourself whether any facts are misrepresented. I saw it and I didn't catch anything that was misrepresented.

Obama is, indeed, very different from our previous presidents. There were big spenders with a clearly socialist bent, but none of them to my knowledge held the Constitution in such low regard as to call it an outdated document, and none of them wanted to "fundamentally" transform the nation. They did what they thought was good for the people at the time, but did not have the global goals that we see in the current president's agenda. You may not see such sweeping changes as "destructive", but many do.

You may find this interesting and informative. EVERYONE who cares about what is going on needs to see this.
Marxism in America - Lt. Gen. (Ret.) W.G. (Jerry) Boykin Video |

Check the other links inside that one also - there's one to watch Marxism in America, Part II in its entirety.
I don't need to watch random videos to get information.

And the bolded above in your comment doesn't make sense. You say Obama is out to kill coal, yet he is for electric vehicles, which by your own comments will cause electricity rates to "skyrocket" that in and of itself is supportive of the coal industry as they stand to gain a lot of money over more use of electricity.....

Also, a branch of my family has a long history of being miners. I am familiar with the mining industry. My paternal grandmother was from WV and going back 4 generations from her, they were miners, every male in the family was a miner and the families lived in the camps back then. Our country does have a storied history with mining as it is an industry that drove a lot of technological advances as well a social advances via labor movements in the mining industry.

But, like coal has driven technology in the past, they need to catch up with their own technology. Many of your fellow countrymen are damaged physically and mentally from enviornmental affects of mines and I for one am for better regulatory management of the industry. It will weed out those who are polluters pollution can infiltrate water sources BTW and have in the past that can cause devastating illnesses and diseases for people living in particular areas, I would think you would care more about their lives than a dirty mining company out to gain a profit without any concern for not only the communities around the mines but their workers in regards to safety.

Mining will always be an industry in this country. The good companies will adapt and if we use more electric cars they will be able to hire more people due to a rise in demand for electricity, so you should go buy a Volt or Leaf and support the mining industry

got to see the movie last night. Yup. just a rehash of D'Souza's claims in books he has written, and stuff that he's been saying for 3 years. And yes, its what Obama says through HIS interpretation. Lots of out-of-context quote mining and cherry picking on top of what D'Souza is projecting.

The only thing new is that his claims are dressed up in pretty pictures and videos with neat little motion graphics and effects.

Its the same clap trap he's been spewing. NOTHING new. why this is a movie worth seeing is beyond me. Just read any of D'Souza's books on Obama and you already know what the movie is about.

Save your earned pennies, and put to more worthwhile popcorn movies..Like Judge Dredd ... in 3D

The thread, didn't read the whole thing though, was interesting. It really portrays the weirdness and uniqueness that is America lol. The one with the cartoon of the coal plant is extra funny IMO being that there is a thread right now about how Obama is killing coal, yet he is pushing electric Volts all the time as well so I guess he is for coal.

Those of you who think he is some evil, devil incarnate out to destroy America, and who base your views on some dude who is known for misrepresenting the facts are pretty naive. All politicians are the same. Obama is no different than any other previous presidents. None of them were out to destroy the country, you all really need to mature a little bit.
The film maker took Obama's words from the books Obama wrote. The media does not ask Obama about it nor will they. His views on things not exposed by the media. When you have a liberal media you can't get to the truth. You are naive if you think the liberal media is telling you everything about Obama. You need to read Obama's books to find out about him and that is what the movie is about. He is not transparent at all and that is the reason the movie is such a hit. People want to know.

So, please.......when you say "people want to know," please remember that most intelligent and informed "people" can see this movie for what it really is.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!!!!

So, who cares? LMFAO

All that proves is that there is an idiot born every minute and a "fool and his money are soon parted."

I'll bet there are so many haters who practically orgasm every time they see this movie, that they keep going back again and again......just to get that "oh, baby."
