If you already strongly support Obama, you will probably like his goals. It may touch your heart how much he cares for the poor, the oppressed around the world and how he thinks he can care for them and right years of wrongs. You really should see it.

If you don't know whether to vote for Obama, the movie will help crystallize your views and opinions about him, who he is and where he wants to take us. You'll be working from an objective, non-partisan base of knowledge.

I haven't spent a dime on any of Michael Moore's tripe, and I won't be paying to see this movie either.

Let's just say that I don't put much stock in a movie about what someone plans to do in the future when the filmmaker couldn't even be bothered to interview the man who is the subject of the movie.

How does that make sense to anyone?

way to show your racism.

Even in civilized world (aka Europe, Asia), horse is treated as food like cows. There is nothing wrong with this. Even the original natives of North America ate horse meat from time to time.


Humane Society may give him a "C" concerning horse meat, but it doesn't change the fact that nearly every animal on earth is treated as food somewhere.

"2016" the movie is going to be released in the summer. It is produced by Gerald R. Molen, the same man that produced Schindler's List and it is based on the novel, "Roots of Obama's Rage", by Dinesh D'Souza.

D'Souza makes some fascinating claims about Obama's vision for America. He argues that his vision is not that of the typical American but rather of an anti-colonial outsider who wishes to realign America with the world. To realign the US, he has to weaken it because that would contribute to global fairness and be the punishment the West deserves for Colonialism.

Just goes to show you, hammer two pieces of sh** together, and try to sell it, and some a$$h**** will buy it.

Step away from the Koolaid, and try to think for yourself--I swear, it's not painful at all.

I refuse to vote for someone who is a muslim and spent trillions to unemploy our citizens.. At least Romney made money hiring people..
I'm hoping he doesn't get a second term. We need him out.

This is the way I remember the interview. I assume it's been scrubbed from the major media sites.

“Who sent the e-mail?” I asked Wright.

“It was from one of Barack’s closest friends.”

“He offered you money?”

“Not directly,” Wright said. “He sent the offer to one of the members of the church, who sent it to me.”

How much money did he offer you?”

“One hundred and fifty thousand dollars,” Wright said.

“Did Obama himself ever make an effort to see you?”

“Yes,” Wright said. “Barack said he wanted to meet me in secret, in a secure place. And I said, ‘You’re used to coming to my home, you’ve been here countless times, so what’s wrong with coming to my home?’ So we met in the living room of the parsonage of Trinity United Church of Christ, at South Pleasant Avenue right off 95th Street, just Barack and me. I don’t know if he had a wire on him. His security was outside somewhere.

“And one of the first things Barack said was, ‘I really wish you wouldn’t do any more public speaking until after the November election.’ He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, ‘I wish you wouldn’t speak. It’s gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.’

No where in what you recounted did Obama offer Rev. Wright money nor does it show that someone else offered Rev. Wright money at Obama's urging.

And the desperation is apparent when the attempted spin is not based on known facts.

It is no better than watching a Michael Moore documentary--although he occasionally peppers some facts into his documentaries and not just impressions. At any rate, I think some liberals are responding to these threads pointing out that very same hypocrisy. You know: "Wait a minute! you bash every other "documentary" out there but all of a sudden the one written by a supposed conservative is wonderful/perfect/true." Come on.
I take it you haven't seen it. Sad but not surprising that so many can have so much to say about something they haven't seen.

blah blah blah. Your nuts. show me one REPUBLICAN who didn't flip out over a michael moore movie, and I'll show you a dead republican.

I don't believe Republicans are actually conservatives, so I changed that txt.
