2016: Obama's America

54 votes

Producing House

"If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?" Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to Americas ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world.

Wow, a LOT of negative reviews here are attacking D'Souza because of his race and some are doing it while suggesting that they are against racism... which is it? Anyways, the majority of the 1 stars are from people that CLEARLY didn't watch the film. So I am giving it 10 to counter balance the BS. It doesn't deserve 1 star, partially because D'Souza made a lot of predictions, especially with the military and killings that came true. But there were others as well, so a part of him had Obama pegged enough to, well, to deserve more than 1 star. However, D'Souza is a propagandist and this has a clear bias that goes well beyond just being conservative, so he doesn't deserve the 10 stars I gave him either. There are parts of this that are incorrect and parts that have gone far too far. HOWEVER, he gets 10 stars anyway, mainly because a LOT of the 1 star reviews here are attacking D'Souza because he's an Indian and, honestly, I don't like racists. And those are pretty racist reviews. So I'm counter balancing it.
