2016 is #3 developing on Drudge

In a theater near you...

2016: Obama's America | Book a Theater

Oh thank you so much.

Travel plans being readied as I type. I can make it easily to ND. That's awesome.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Has anyone heard of the other movie called The Hope & The Change?

 

[Stephanie]

The title of the movie should been, this is the joke that was played on you

 

[swizzlee]

Has anyone heard of the other movie called The Hope & The Change?

Absolutely!

Hannity interviewed the people who "starred" in this documentary last nite. All middle-class, white, black, Latino, men, women, small business owners, blue collar people - and ALL Democrats or Indies who had voted for Obama.

And while the question was never asked, it is quite clear the deep disappointment these folks felt after 4 years of the O is not going to prompt them to vote for him again.

This film will be shown at the Pub convention and also in NC during the Dem convention. After that it will be in theatres nationwide.

Whereas 2016 sounds more like a Fahrenheit film with the producer attempting to sway public opinion, Hope & the Change makes it clear the "stars" have already been persuaded.

Between the 2 films, it looks like we've got a real double-whammy going!

 

[GuyPinestra]

Has anyone heard of the other movie called The Hope & The Change?

I heard of "The Dope and the Strange", does that count?

Just for fun, I'm gonna whip out the trusty abacus and do some math on this.

A quick Google search indicates the average movie ticket price is somewhere between $7.75 and $8.15. So let's play it safe and say it costs $7.75 to get into this movie.

Estimates are putting this weekend's box office at about $6 million. Let's say this thing ends up grossing $50 million, which I suspect is a pretty strong over-estimation.

That would mean that about 6.45 million people will have seen this movie. Probably safe to assume that a few will have seen it twice, so let's say 4 million to 6 million people end up seeing it, depending on how the box office turns out.

Pretty safe assumption that a vast majority of people who are going to see it are conservatives who would vote for a medium-sized household appliance over Obama.

In 2010, 90 million people voted, and since virtually everyone seeing this were voting for Romney anyway, I can conclude that the only value of this movie is in lining the pockets of the guy who produced it.

Shocker...telling the truth about the idiot scumbag hiding in the White House sells to the American public.

Of course, liberals are trying to figure out how to call an Indian a racist.....

A Powerful Movie

Thomas Sowell


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 could barely hear a sound from them, or detect a movement, and certainly not smell popcorn. Yet the movie had no bombast, no violence, no sex and no spectacular visual effects.

The documentary itself was fascinating, as Dinesh D'Souza presented the story of Barack Obama's life and view of the world, in a very conversational sort of way, illustrating it with visits to people and places around the world that played a role in the way Obama's ideas and beliefs evolved.


It was refreshing to see how addressing adults as adults could be effective, in an age when so many parts of the media address the public as if they were children who need a constant whirlwind of sounds and movements to keep them interested.

Dinesh D'Souza's own perspective, as someone born in India who came to America and became an American, provided a special insight into the way people from the Third World often perceive or misperceive the United States and the Western world

That Third World perspective is Obama's perspective, D'Souza demonstrates in this documentary, as in his book -- and it is a perspective that is very foreign to that of most Americans, which may be why some believe that Obama was born elsewhere.

Oh puhleeze let me know what you think about it. If we can't get it in Winnipeg (2 hours north without a blizzard), sheesh, we'll have to drive to Fargo I guess.

That's an overnighter for us. I'd appreciate you telling me if it's worth our drive.

I'll put it this way. If you are well informed on his background and his views then you likely know about 1/3 of what you will see. It does go into greater detail on how he developed these views vis a vis his father. He barely knew his father but his mother shaped his views to be in line to with his father's ideology. Those views were anti-colonial.

His father was a proponent of a level playing field for all nations. They tie Obama's views to this. Redistribution of wealth, a weak U.S. militarily so that no one nations dominates. They show his goal of reducing the U.S. nuke arsenal to less than 300 while allowing the Russians to maintain 1,300.

They do a great job with examples of his like for socialism and how it drives his decision making. The movie goes into what a U.S. would like if he gets reelected and is free to do whatever he wants unrestrained.

At times it's almost apologetic on his behalf making the case that he almost can't help himself since this is the ideology he grew up around and was surrounded by his entire life from birth to Ayers, Wright and a host of other leftists.

It delves into how he managed to get elected and portray himself as someone he is not using his own words and voice-over. They give voice excerpts of him saying that he knew if he presented himself along the lines of a Sharpton or Jackson that he knew he wouldn't have a chance. Again with clips from the audio version of the book, he says that if he presented himself as a black man that wasn't angry he knew he could convince whites to vote for him. He himself explains how he purposely kept his views vague back in 2008 so as not to arouse suspicion of what his agenda was.

There's a lot more that would take me too long to go into.

I guess now that I think about it even if one does know a lot about him there is still much to learn by seeing it.

Heck, for $6.00 it was worth it. I spoke to one guy who actually said that he thought he knew most of what was out there about him... but that much of it was new to him.

It was well done and well documented. It would be hard to dismiss it as propaganda if one is honest since they use actual news clips, interviews with his half brother an a comparison of his views and policies with real world ideology. There was none of the "birther" nonsense... just hard facts... much of which as I said was from his own book.

I think it was very impartial and compelling. It was more about why he thinks as he does rather than an indictment or criticism of his policies or view.

DeSouza (sp) did a great job. It was an 11:00 AM showing and I'd say about 3/4 full...pretty god for a sunny summer Saturday morning. You literally could hear a pin drop at times.

So yes, make the trip and catch an early viewing as the ticket seller told us the line was out the door and around the building for every showing last night.

I saw it last weekend. Really well done documentary.

Then spend it and prove yourself wrong, not about it being profitable but about it not having any redeeming value.

I bet any theatre showing it that's near a Chick-Fil-A will do well.

At least in those theaters you won't have to worry about sitting next to no homos....

You are a sick puppy! Just to clue you in a bit, homosexuality is not contagious. Grow fuckin' up! ...and study English language.

I plan to see the movie this evening.

Not a reason in the world to waste money seeing a smear job like this. It'll be on YouTube free of charge soon enough. Hilarious is the fact that they're milking you Romney "nut lickers" for all your worth before that.

Yup. Seems to me that any reasonable person viewing one of these kinds of "documentaries" would, while watching, ask themselves "hmm, I wonder what facts he is either leaving out or spinning that contradict the point he's trying so hard to make". Knowing that you're getting just one slanted side of any story seems very unsatisfying to me. What's the point, y'know?

It’s a group that includes communist Frank Marshall Davis; former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers; academic Edward Said, whose views are described as anti-Zionist; liberal Harvard professor Roberto Unger; and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a proponent of so-called black liberation theology.

Clearly conservatives and republicans are unaware of the fact that such efforts to portray the president as some sort of a ‘communist’ or ‘anti-American radical’ succeeds in only making the right look ignorant and ridiculous.

Critics say it's nothing but an infomercial.

If that's your thing, you'll love it.

Critic rating:

In ‘2016,’ Obama is fear itself
By Michael O’Sullivan
Friday, August 24, 2012

“I’m not trying to bash Obama in a crude way,” Dinesh D’Souza says in a TV news clip featured in the conservative writer and commentator’s new documentary “2016: Obama’s America.” It’s a comment recycled from one of D’Souza’s many media appearances in defense of his well-known, earlier attacks on the president, both in a controversial 2010 Forbes magazine cover story and two subsequent books, on which this film is based.


One thing can be said for “2016.” It’s anything but crude. The best infomercials rarely are.

They could be correct.

Or, maybe they're just libs.

 

[brawny1]

I saw the movie this afternoon, quite surprised the theater was over half full.
For all of the Obama lemmings, sticking their heads in the sand in spite of the facts, what exactly is false about the movie? Apparently the words of Obama himself, concerning himself and his friends, mentors, and associations, are not factual enough. You seem unable to argue on substance, so you revert, in typical Alinsky style, to ad hominem attacks. These are not the assertions of some right-wing nut job; these are based on Obama's own history. Truth is a hard thing to bury...
