it really is important to call obama out on his "vision", because a lot of obama's vision is not rooted in reality.

Amen to you, for having the foresight, to know what is going on. So many people already know what the movie is trying to portray.

As my former neighbor who went to H.S. with Obama in HI, and had 3 classes with him, learned a bit about him from my neighbor. Just say this, some are right about him.

Some know what the vision is, being intutive does help.

Are you freakin' kidding me?

You know someone who had three classes in high school with President Obama over thirty years ago and you think that gives you some deep insight into who President Obama is today?

Just when I think I can no longer be shocked at what I read here, well.........I am.

I am seven years older than President Obama and I barely remember most of my high school classmates - let alone intimate details about what they believed in back then or what their ideology was.

Pathetic. And delusional.

Are YOU the same person(ideologically speaking) you were in HS? I KNOW I'm not.

Obama wrote a book about his dreams or rather his father's dreams that he took on himself. If he didn't want people to know what they are then he should not have written it. The film is based on the book and his actions since becoming president.


This is from Thomas Sowell's article---

"This fear of European "exploitation" prevailed widely in the Third World in the middle of the 20th century. But, by the late 20th century, the falseness of that view had been demonstrated so plainly and so often, in countries around the world, that even socialist and communist governments began opening their economies to foreign investments. This often led to rising economic growth rates that lifted millions of people out of poverty.

Barack Obama is one of those people who are often wrong but never in doubt. When he burst upon the national political scene as a presidential candidate in 2008, even some conservatives were impressed by his confidence.

But confident ignorance is one of the most dangerous qualities in a leader of a nation. If he has the rhetorical skills to inspire the same confidence in himself by others, then you have the ingredients for national disaster."

So how does the Muslim Brotherhood play into all this? We gave them Egypt, which they claim for Hamas. MB hates Israel, we have these same terrorists, with our support, trying to overthrow Syria now. I don't suppose the film tells us what the plan is for the Middle East.
I'd also like to know how he's going to sell that house in Chicago, when his name is not even on the title. Who really owns that place, and why are we paying to guard it?

Yes, Wright was offered money to keep quiet, he said so himself.

But janelle144 made the dishonest claim that President Obama was the one who offered him the money when Wright himself states that wasn't the case.

Why do you all keep insisting on twisting the facts?
