Obama Movie Stunning Hollywood

After another high-money earning weekend for the movie "2016: Obama's America," author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza promises to expand to about 1,600 theaters by next weekend. Uncomplimentary movie reviews by liberal columnists telling moviegoers to stay away from the film have not deterred the film's success so far.

Following its expansion to 1,091 screens, the movie "stunned Hollywood" by taking in an estimated $6.3 million dollars last weekend, according to its publicity firm. The take for the weekend translates to the highest per-screen average of any major release and makes it the highest grossing new film of the weekend.

"We still live in a consumer-driven capitalistic economy and if there is demand we will do everything we can to meet it with supply," D'Souza is reported to have joked. "Our plan is to do our best to expand this film to as many theaters as the people demand. We'll be taking a close look at various markets and determining where we go next."

While some movie reviewers say that D'Souza's tracing of Barack Obama's life in order to understand his worldview is only something conservatives can appreciate, others say the film is spot on.

The Hollywood socialists and limousine liberals are besides themselves over this film's success. Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" was correctly seen by the public as socialist political propaganda and played to mostly empty theaters – and was a financial disaster. It was actually offered to churches (for a fee) to show in the guise of "community outreach"! (I know because mine was the only NO vote to do so when I sat on my church's governing board. Showing that film was a community relations disaster for that church which I and numerous families have since left). I hope a good portion of that $6.3 million so-far earned by "2016" will be donated to the Romney/Ryan campaign fund!

Great movie. A must see before November.

This movie might make the difference, but I don't think I can stomach the contents, I have already seen his actions, enough to fill me to the gills.

Hollywood – Stunned ? Most of Hollywood lives in "Never-Never Land" and does NOT have a clue what real everyday Americans think. Just the fact that many Hollywood Libs STILL live in crumbling California where the Liberal "Dream Society" has turned into a nightmare, speaks volumes. I hope this movie is an All Time Best Seller ! Anyone BUT the "Ineligible One" in November !

  Correct Tom. "Acting" is art, who philosophically tend toward the extreme LEFT! Marxism is a NATURAL! Notice James Arness didn't pass on the Hollywood batton to anybody when he died, although John Wayne had previously annointed James Arness to represent our REPUBLIC in Hollywood! Yes, it's time to PAY THE STREET VENDOR! WATCH!

This movie highlights one of the biggest differences between Conservatives and Liberals. Liberals generally lie, but some tell the truth. Conservatives generally tell the truth, although some do lie. Which group of people would you trust more?

  Hello? "LYING" IS DEMANDED IN THE MARXIST MANIFESTO! WAKE-UP! What party did the mobs control forever? Even in the time of Wyatt Earp in 1882 with the Irish mob! Just saying…

    You people don't even know what Marxism, liberalism, socialism, and communism are, and you throw the terms around as if you do. Educate yourselves and try to refrain from making any comments until you know what you're talking about.

  I have never heard a liberal tell the truth, where have you been all your life?
  - cyndlou
    
    they do, you just have to listen intently to what they say – I saw Barack Obama coming early into running for president back in 2007, he said what he was going to do, people just weren't listening without hearing what they wanted to hear.
    - nax777
      
      True, you can take Obama at his word “your guns are safe
      with me” means what? Definitely not what the MSM’s said it meant and wanted you
      to think.

      That is so true. He explicity said, in speaking about the recovery of the economy and job growth, "This won't happen overnight; it will take time." Yet, people have maligned him right and left because it didn't happen right away, when Bush did the damage over an eight-year period. Get real, folks!! Your wonderful Romney won't be able to do it either, if he's elected, God forbid!!

        that is not at all what I was saying – things may have been difficult before BO but they are impossible now – if you think BO has done a good job, I suggest you lay off the Kool-Aide – another four years of BO policies will put America under and he will become our dictator, which is what he is trying to do – He said it at the State of the Union Address that he was trying to convince the Judicial and Legislative branches to merge into one branch of governement – the executice Branch – that is what I meant by my comment that you have to listen intently because he will reveal his narcissism but you have to be paying attention. He is a very dangerous man to democracy. He stated at his very first Town Hall meeting "I don't want to lie to the American people". And oh, what, he has to. Do you even begin to understand what $16,000,000,000,000.00 is? For starters – IT IS DOUBLE WHAT THE COMBINED DEFICIT OF 43 PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS WAS . He spent in four years what it took 43 previous presidents to spend in 232 years, but lets give him another four years to completely bury us -

    Oh, really? Did you fact-check the two candidates after the debates to see who was telling the truth more than the other? If so, I think that if you were honest, you'd find that Obama told the truth more than Romney; in fact, just about everything Romney said was either a lie, a fabrication, or a misrepresentation. Not a good track record…just like his misrepresentations about his time as governor, businessman, and "job creator."

  Richard Brophy – What you just said couldn't be farther from the truth, and to answer your question, having seen what's happened in the past several elections, and the comments of both liberals and conservatives about them, I'd trust the liberals more. I say that as a 70-year-old, born-again Christian, former staunch Republican conservative woman who finally woke up and realized I'd been shooting myself in the foot all these years. Conservatives believe anything they're spoon-fed by their pastors, who don't fact-check anything for themselves, then pass on their bigotry to their congregations. How do I know? I sat under such a pastor, who told his congregation how to vote, how to think, etc., and have heard more than enough of other pastors doing the same. The hero-worship of pastors, as incapable of doing any wrong, is just as bad as any other idolatry. Learn to do your own fact-checking research and think for yourselves, folks. Having an original thought really isn't such a bad thing. I wonder how much fact-checking the author of this film did before making it. It's merely a story of his own making, written from his own opinion, and who knows how much basis in fact really there is? (Only Obama and God.) To influence a world against a person, with little knowledge of who that person really is, is just as big a sin as any other kind of malicious gossip.

Nothing sells like a good mystery. The hidden life and motives of Barak Hussein Obama.

Trying to keep his life a mystery caused such curiosity that everybody wants to see a documentary on the guy, then this pops up. I guess Michael Moore and Spike Lee are too busy. Now it's too late to catch up to damage control for an "Answer Documentary."

I read the book on which the movie is based and it was truly fascinating. Incredible detective work and tightly reasoned. Could hardly put it down, so I'm excited to see the film as soon as it comes our way.

I love seeing obama getting reamed, he takes it like a true a hole.
Randy131

Simply amazing, papers won't list the movie in thier time-slot guides and Fandango refuses to list it to sell tickets, and they claim there is no media conspiracy to get Obama re-elected. I wonder how they then explain this situation, no listings in the media and Fandango even refusing to make money off it?
John J Flanagan

I will see this movie Friday night in Oro Valley, AZ. Prior to the 2008 election, I had researched Obama and found troubling facts concerning his political views and social values, and believed then, as I do now, that he is a socialist through and through and very dangerous to the future of our land. His ideas are leftist, his party is leftist and radical, and his plan was to transform America to a European style socialist, high tax, government intrusive, and anti freedom, anti-Christian, anti-traditional values commune. It is essential that both Obama and the Democrats in Congress lose in the November elections. We can reverse the situation under Romney, but not under Obama. Of particular concern for Christians, the abortion mandate, the drive to legalize same sex marriage, the threats to religious freedom, should move us to vote Republican conservative. There is no place for Christians in the Democratic Party.

Does the box office success of recent conservative movies indicate a GOP victory? Find out here – http://www.movieguide.org/articles/main/movies-predict-republican-victory-in-2012.html
- http://www.answersingenesis.org/ keyboardshark
  
  It probably would indicate a GOP victory, but don't forget that Obama will be having dead people, felons, and illegal aliens voting for him, so it will have to be a big enough margin to overcome all that. If he sees he is behind in the polls in October, he will pull every dirty trick he can think of, including fraud.

This movie only got mediocre reviews in our local rag. Big surprise, they are in the tank for Obama and have always been from day one.

Thank God Michael Moore was too busy to do the movie.

This is a very good movie. I encourage everyone to go see it.

The first thing I said to my husband early into the movie was, "how ironic that Hollywood puts it out there but the church won't". Dinesh did a beautiful job and how encouraging going into the November election that this movie is grossing what it is!!!!

can't wait for the DVD – I love gathering information today so my grandchildren can have access to the truth. Should be interesting what "the truth" looks like in another 20-30-40 years.

There are three possible options that result in only two certain outcomes.
First option and outcome: Vote for and re-elect the Hope and Change candidate that supposedly cares about the poor and uses the words of the Bible as his justification for massively increasing spending on social welfare programs. If Christians turn out and vote for President Obama then he will be re-elected.
Second option and outcome: Vote for the rich, capitalist, candidate that promises to return America to its original foundations to a less centralized government with more personal freedoms. This candidate’s religion even denies the Orthodox Christian view of the Trinity. Mormonism even espouses that Satan and Jesus are spirit brothers and that God had physical relations with Mary. If Christians turn out and vote en masse for Governor Romney despite his religion, then he will be elected.
Third option and outcome: Christians abstain from voting because each candidate is unworthy; Obama wants gay marriage and Romney’s religion denies that Jesus is Lord above all. In good conscience Christians stay home from the polls. That results again in the first outcome.
Reflecting on the first option: If anyone thinks that President Obama is a Christian then let the record speak for itself. This is a man who for 20 years sat under the hate-filled preaching a Rev Jeremiah Wright, a Black Liberation Theology hate monger. I wonder if Rev Wright ever preached on “Loving God and Loving your neighbor as yourself” which Jesus said is the Greatest Commandment (Matthew 22)? Radio talk show host and former political candidate Alan Keyes, even offered further evidence in 2004 that then Senate Candidate Obama was not a Christian. Keyes said that even “Jesus Christ would not vote for Obama” due to his far left views on abortion and infanticide while serving in the Illinois State Senate.
President Obama recently showed more of his so-called “Christian” faith in by claiming to have compassion on same sex individuals who want to have the same rights of marriage that heterosexuals have enjoyed from the beginning of civilization. The President even cited the Golden Rule in his decision. We must be reminded however that even Satan quoted scripture when he tempted Jesus (Matthew 4). Similarly, the President quoted scripture to justify his position. Unfortunately his position is inconsistent with the whole counsel of Holy Writ. This misreading of the Bible is what the Great Reformer, Martin Luther, warned when he said that “Scripture does not have a wax nose” and is not to be twisted into anything we want it to say. Seems this was just a bone to the Gay Rights crowd so they would continue to donate to the President’s re-election effort.
President Obama has led from behind on this economic recovery and led from the front increasing this catastrophic debt burden he has imposed upon our children and grandchildren. Unfortunately these massive tax increases will choke the growth of this economy and our power as a world leader will consequently diminish. When he promised to change this country, he meant what he said. In my view, the President is actually a statist. His god is actually the all-powerful government bent on subjugating a free people under his rule.
Reflecting on the second option: So what would a Mormon presidency look like? There are sixteen Mormons serving in the US Congress. Mormons are known for their abstentions from alcohol, tobacco, caffeine. I served in the military with many Mormons and they were some of the finest officers dedicated to the defense of America that I ever served with. Other Mormon friends I have are some of the hardest working and most patriotic people I know. Devout Mormons are law abiding citizens of very higher moral standards and committed to their families. Governor Romney and his family could be characterized in this way.
Would Mormon theology or a Mormon President be counter to the preservation of our Great Republic? First, we must understand that Mormon theology is a “works based” religion. I think we could infer that good works accomplished by any group (feeding the hungry, blood drives, coats for kids, etc…) are beneficial to our society as a whole. The disagreement is in the motivation for doing good works. The theological discussion with Mormons or other religions is whether good works can justify our standing on Judgment Day before God Almighty. What is not in dispute is the “good” in the term good works.
Second, would Governor Romney be the mouthpiece of the Mormon Church or a good President of all the people? As President, Romney promised to pursue a conservative, pro-growth economic agenda. His number one economic priority would be to grow the economy — helping to create good jobs, raise incomes and preserve American strength. Just as President Kennedy was the first Catholic president and did not act as the American Pope, there is no reason to think that a Romney Presidency would rule from Salt Lake City.
Reflecting on the third option: Christians staying home from the polls or voting for a third party candidate keeps the status quo in place with Harry Reid running the Senate and conservatives being demonized in the House for wanting to reign in the debt. Worse than that, if we don’t overturn the Affordable Care Act we become complicit in furthering the continued slaughter of the unborn under the ruse of “Women’s Health Coverage.” This government’s intervention, never seen before in the history of this Great Republic, mandating that faith based organizations participate in this slaughter is unconscionable. Think of it this way, we have a modern King Herod in office that is determined to slaughter the unborn and whose ultimate goal is power, total power. (Historical note-around the time of Jesus birth King Herod ordered the slaughter of boys two years old and under in Israel to try to kill Jesus.)
What is a Conservative Christian supposed to do? Christians should be all about sharing the message of God’s love through Jesus Christ. We are also called in the New Testament to be good citizens. Therein lays the dilemma, because the world of politics is a human endeavor run by sinners, of which I am one. Christians also understand the reality of the evil that exists around us. Jesus called us to be “Salt and Light” to a dark and lost world. Therefore I should do everything in my power to advance the kingdom of Christ and counter evil. Therefore I have to vote and I have to vote against the current President’s policies.
In light of the recent attacks on our embassies in the Middle East and North Africa, it seems that the current President is more content with appeasing the Muslim Brotherhood than standing strong against the regimes that want to do us harm. Just as I am justified in killing an intruder that comes into my house and seeks to do my family harm, our country is also justified in defending itself against militant Islam that is hostile to our values and the freedoms we enjoy in the West. Justification for Christians to take up arms can be found in what is called Just War Theory.
If Christians cannot vote in good conscience for the Romney/Ryan ticket due to the Mormon connection, please consider stopping the modern King Herod by voting against President Obama. That would be the “R” selection on the ballot

Yes, now D'souza is being slandered by the left probably because of this movie. They crucified McAuthor and J. Edgar Hoover because they exposed the radical left commies. The revolution we need to have is one that brings God back into the arena and kicks the liberals out of power.
