For you who may not believe this or insist on denial, much of the movie is based on Obama’s own words in his book, "Dreams From My Father." One’s upbringing plays a major role in one’s own integrity and values, and remember, The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Especially disturbing was Obama’s mentor relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, a card-carrying Communist. Several sources describe Davis as, “Obama's closest and most revered mentor.” Obama is also a self-proclaimed pupil of Saul D. Alinsky, Said, Unger, Bill Ayres, and Reverend Wright -ALL radicals in anti-colonialist, Marxist, and socialist beliefs.

History shows that before Communism overtakes a country, its currency must be destroyed, as well as its economy, religious freedoms, (Obama has produced over 168 regulations and Executive Orders throwing roadblocks at religion), and its constitutional provisions, pushing the population to look to the Government instead of self-reliance to solve their problems. Interesting is the fact that most all dictators used health care at the start of their campaigns to get control and power.

I cannot recommend this film enough; it gave me so much more to think about. Worse for me is that it's not going to affect me as much as it will my kids, grandkids, and the next generation.
No, it really isn't. The moviemaker never spoke to his subject but bases everything on heresay and his own interpretation of the president's words.

BTW. there are already several threads on this topic.

One would think that Mr. Souza would be as well. Just saying.

I actually watched this one the other night (thank you Torrents...sure as hell wasn't going to pay to see it) and it's one of the biggest jokes I have ever seen.

Translation in GOP/talk radio minion-ease: It's the greatest film ever.

Default 2016: Obama's America

I saw this on my PC while the YouTube link was available. I was already well versed in Obama lore so wasn't going to pay to see it. Glad I didn't pay but would recommend to anyone who wants some colorization on the man who sits in the Oval Office, unfettered by legacy media adoration.

The first 55 minutes bored me to near abandonment but I decided to bear with it. The remaining time was for more interesting.

Thanks to the OP for linking this again. Everyone should have a chance to voice their opinion. For those who don't appreciate the link, well I guess they might have a better time making a mess in someone else's thread.

And everyone should have an opportunity to view the film before election day, though I don't think it's going to sway any votes.

You use that word, Documentary, but I don't think it means what you think it means.

And in 2012 who exactly is pro-colonialist? Goodness knows we'd have a lot less trouble in the Middle East if our European cousins had left their colonial aspirations behind in the 1700's.

And perhaps if north African traders had left their greed behind them as well? It seems a bit late for recommending changes to history.
