Yep.

"The documentary performed best over the weekend in red state bastions such as Baton Rouge, La., and Wichita, Kan."

Is this like the tell the truth movie about George Bush lol And yes, that was scary to some. And what about the books written about him. The reality is...if people really believe this propaganda about our presidents then shame on them because they are way too gullible.

Enlighten us oh wise one. I see what a party that has morphed into religious nutbags and obstructionists has done to delay the recovery process. It's a crying shame that what the hijacked GOP set as their goal when Obama was elected did not horrify an enrage every citizen. I don't choose to live inside that low information bubble that you do. You want to know something...if Obama was actually this person that he has been portrayed to be by the right wing, I'd still support him over the bat crap crazy party of Neocons Tea People (that do not have clues as to what the real Boston Tea Party was all about) and the bible thumping hypocrites.

The film was not a propaganda film and said nothing negative about Obama. It only talked about the influences on him growing up allowing the viewer to come to their own conclusion. It also drew heavily on Obama's book "Dreams From My Father", including Obama's narration of the book. If you look on the movie website it is being shown in a number of theaters in CA which I believe is deep blue territory.

I didn't need a movie to tell me that Obama's dithering when it came to the Gulf oil spill was an attempt to build a case for halt offshore drilling; that fast and furious was an attempt to build a case for gun control; that refusal to approve Keystone was to stop big oil and US jobs in the process; that funding Solyndra when all data showed it was a losing proposition was again his attempt to further his pet projects no matter the cost to tax payers; that sending US tax dollars to Brazil for off shore drilling while not approving it in US for jobs here. I could go on but why bother since you've already made up your mind.

lol. Why do you read if it upsets you so? Is the thread title that difficult for you to understand?

And what makes you think Wichita KS is red?

It is comprised of many distortions, fabrications and omissions...and a right wing view. There were no Obama supporters interviewed. Why was that?

BTW...there has been more drilling while Obama has been in office than when Bush was in office. But how would you know that???

Given the director I cannot imagine it is even half-way unbiased.

The thread keeps coming back. That's how I know this supposed silent majority won't shut up.

Common sense, but since you need the obvious pointed out to you:

"Carlos Mayans, a former Republican legislator and Wichita mayor once seen by almost everyone as a conservative stalwart, said he’s seen and felt the change over the past two years. “Not too long ago, I was called a Democrat by one of those superconservatives,” Mayans said, laughing. “I said, ‘Are you kidding me?’”

He said what got him branded a Democrat was questioning the method used to select Republican Party leaders, who were nominated by a closed-door committee and presented to the rank and file as a slate of candidates.
