A Powerful Movie
Years, and sometimes decades, pass between my visits to movie theaters. But I drove 30 miles to see the movie "2016," based on Dinesh D'Souza's best-selling book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage." Where I live is so politically correct that such a movie would not even be mentioned, much less shown. Every seat in the theater was filled, even though there had been an earlier showing that day, and more showings were scheduled for the rest of the afternoon and evening. I had to sit on a staircase in the balcony, but it was worth it. The audience was riveted. You...

"The story of Barack Obama, however, is not just the story of how one man came to be the way he is. It is a much larger story about how millions of Americans came to vote for, and some to idolize, a man whose fundamental beliefs and values are so different from their own".
Bingo !

America was sick of Bush, which equated to they were sick of republicans, they were ready for change, and Obama promised hope and change.

Obama won because the Republicans suck. He will win again because the Republicans suck. Without seeing the movie, I would be willing to bet it is no more credible than Farenheit 911.

The Third World, or anti-colonial, view is that the rich nations have gotten rich by taking wealth from the poor nations. It is part of a much larger vision, in which the rich in general have gotten rich by taking from the poor, whether in their own country or elsewhere.
Whatever its factual weaknesses, it is an emotionally powerful vision, to which many people have dedicated their lives, and for which some have even risked their lives. Some of these people appear in this documentary movie, as they have appeared throughout the formative phases of Barack Obama's life.
So, a sweeping generalization about how poor people see the world is Obama's view because.....?

habs, Obama won based on lies, deceit, and people tired of Bush. your comments were very nice though. And if he wins again it has to do with people who are not educating themselves and are basing their vote off what others say. Obama has nothing to offer (not that romney and ryan have much either) and it is time for some real change and hope.

I actually agree that romney and ryan dont really have much (if anything at all) to offer and on the cool unless we get rid or most of these jokers in congress President Obama will not have much to offer either because of congressional stonewalling.Drug and smoke free trading.

You know, that he's American, that he's a Christian that he doesn't want Americans everywhere to suddenly die. Basically everything he says that goes against what Limbaugh and Beck say about him.

what gives you the right to say that people who vote for Obama are not educating themselves? Just because you do not like who they might vote for or their reasons does in no way, shape or form mean that they are not intelligent in knowing the issues at hand.
I'm a Republican that thinks that Obama has done a fine job and better than I could have expected. I voted for McCain and I believed neither candidate could have done much to right the ship after the decline that happened during Bush's term, at least not during their first term as president but here we are a few months before election and we can all clearly see that we are slowly climbing out of the hole that we were in when Obama took over. Most of those that don't see it are the ones that just don't want to admit that there has been progress
