This movie was produced by the same people who did Schindler's List...after extensive research. They would not risk their reputation with Schindler's list without quoting facts and verifying their assertions and sources of data. This is scary! Those of you who like Obama just because he is black, should look at Allen West, a true hero and Mr. Cain, who was forced to step down because of a spousal indiscretion...never mind that Bill Clinton was dubbed "liar, liar, pants on fire" and did much worse with a young White House Intern and NUMEROUS OTHER WOMEN BUT HE was a liberal so the media just laughed about it...while they crucified Cain for one single indiscretion.

No, regarding this movie, if you even bother to check the facts with scientific methodology research and not just your own predispositions of accepting his liberal policies because he is liberal and because he is black, you should really look at his Obamacare package because if you are over 50, the plan throws you to the dogs, READ THE BOOK AND READ THROUGH EVERYTHING!

Soros IS behind him, he HAD ADMITTED being a MUSLIM, HE REFUSES TO SALUTE THE FLAG, he BOWS TO OUR ENEMIES IN FRONT OF THE MEDIA, HE WANTS TO TAX THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE JOBS AND HE WANTS TO INCREASE THE ALREADY HUGE FIGURE OF 110 MILLION PEOPLE ON WELFARE (1/3 OF OUR POPULATION), 16 Million illegals from Ireland, Bosnia, Russia, Latvia, Ukraine, UK, Egypt, UAE, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Central and South America (which illegals include TERRORISTS, DRUG CARTEL MEMBERS, etc.). Democrat Williams in Florida and elsewhere want to release convicts, including murderers, child sex offenders, rapists, etc., from the 230 Federal prisons in the US ("to save money"). Heck! Send them to the island off the NW coast of Alaska, they can fish for their food, build igloos and do not need guards because where and how are they going to escape? NOW, THAT IS SAVING MONEY! Especially since it is so cold there, they will be unable to get certain urges and will take out their frustration on each other...end of expense!

No, Obama wants to ruin the economy even more...think, if you are deep in debt, you do not expect any bank to lend you any more unless you put up your house for collateral and if you do not pay, they will foreclose. By comparison, we were already trillions in debt, then Obama went and borrowed more trillions from China...they can come over and take over this country totally. Already you do not see anything that is not "Made in China". Re Romney and his business, he did that in reaction to RAISES IN TAXES FOR BUSINESSES. If you have a business that makes $100 and you spend 1/3 in taxes, 1/3 in operations and 1/3 in salaries, then come the liberals and raise your taxes to 50%, what do you do? Close shop? No, you either cut jobs or go manufacture elsewhere to survive and pay the pensions of the employees you did have before!

If Obama gets re-elected, I am taking my two businesses to Austria or Germany, where the business tax, after deductions is only 12.5%, compared to 38% in the US and 33% after deductions.

I urge everyone to see a second documentary that was just released entitled "Dreams From My Real Father". This movie really exposes Obama even more so than the 2016 movie. It was a huge eye opener. After watching the movie viewers can come to their own conclusion.

I concur with the commentary made by the author since I recently saw this movie which I found to be very revealing and also disturbing at the same time. It's a shame that a movie like this did not come out in 2008. So many of the electorate fell for the "Hope" and "Change" rhetoric with the candidancy of BO. The country was weary of the Bush Adminisration and was ready for the change they desperately were seeking. Mr O convinced the majority of the electorate that he was going to bring the country together. What a farce! We have a fraud in office who is destroying this country and will continue to destroy the country if he gets his way by getting elected for a second term. Americans should not fall for the trap. We have a Socialist/Marxist in the WH, so voters beware!!!!

I had already decided that I was voting for Obama, but decided to see this film with a friend and then write a review condeming it. Now I have to say that this film has opened my eyes as to what kind of a man Obama really is. I cannot vote for this person with a clear conscience. Kuddos to Scott Paulson.

Funny how CBS has to put a disclaimer on Scott Paulson's article to distance themselves from his comments. I don't see CBS putting disclaimers on other articles that bash Bush or conservatives in general. We can only hope that this is the beginning of CBS becoming a NEWS organization again and not an arm of the DNC

It is so much easier to bury your head in the sand and soak up all the nonsensical propaganda perpetrated by the is sham "administration".
The thing about burying your head in the sand is this...........when you bury your head in the sand, you never see the guy coming up behind you who kicks you in the ass. THAT is what is happening in our country at an ALARMING RATE.

It amazes me still after all the facts.... how all the liberal loons continue to drink the kool-aid! God Bless America...cause we're going to need it!

The film was an eyeopener for sure, but I do not think it explained it well enough, in black and white, what from Obama's past is being used on us today. It was not until I read this summary below that I understand what he is doing to this country. Please read it and pass it one.
Summary of 2016

The
documentary-- Obama’s America: 2016, by Dinesh D'Souza -- begins with
D’Souza on screen describing his own experiences as an Indian-American
immigrating to the United States, to become a college student at
Dartmouth College, and there, editor of the conservative magazine "Policy Review", and later his work in Washington, in government.

The film changes location to
Indonesia, where a young Barack Obama is being reared by his mother, Ann
Dunham, and stepfather Lolo Soetoro, where he is educated as a Muslim. When
Obama's parents' relationship becomes strained, Obama is sent by his
mother to live with his maternal grandparents in Hawaii, where BHO' s
grandfather introduces him to Frank Marshall Davis (more on him later)
as his mentor.

BHO finishes his college studies at
Columbia, where the film claims he is influenced by anti-colonialist
teachers. His progression into an anti-colonialist is highlighted by a
visit to Kenya. The film corroborates this by spoken words from his
audio book, "Dreams from My Father".

The film discusses Obama's father, Barack Obama, Sr., and his anti-colonialist views of the British Empire. According to D'Souza, BHO is the incarnation of his father's anti-coloniansit dreams, which explains why Obama supposedly rejects American exceptionalism and why D'Souza believes he is attempting "fundamentally to reshape America." D'Souza delves into BHO's mentors, or what D'Souza terms BHO's "founding fathers": Frank Marshall Davis, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Edward Said, and Roberto Unger. (google those with whom you are not familiar

Obama met Frank Marshall Davis at an early age and BHO became a life-long admirer of FMD. Davis, once a Republican, was a Social Justice contributing editor to the National Negro Congress, which the government declared to be a Communist front organization. Later Davis started a labor newspaper The Star which was called a “red weekly”, a Communist front publication. He
wrote about racism in an unjust society and was involved in local labor
issues. His actions were tracked by the FBI, which put him on an
"arrest list" if
ever the cold war with Russia became a "hot war."

The documentary argues that the president’s past and
childhood—and the influence of his absent father—play an important role
in how he governs. D’Souza says Obama is “influenced by a third-world
ideology,” citing his prior relationships with Bill Ayers (leader of "the Weather Underground" terrorists) and Rev. Jeremiah Wright (who
teaches the black version of "Liberation Theology", and taught it for
ca. 20 years to BHO, a member of JW's congregation, a fact that almost
unmasked BHO during the 2008 campaign. That was the
closest that BHO came
to being vetted by the U.S. mass media.)

BHO has been inspired not by the dreams OF, but FROM his father; ergo, the title of his first book, Dreams from My Father. BHO learned about them from his mother, who spoke admiringly of them during the years they were together, Obama’s mother told him what she knew about his absent father’s dreams, because BHO saw his father only twice in his life; as a baby and at age 10 when Obama Sr. visited briefly.

How can somebody who did not know his father be so influenced by him? In his book and the audio version, Obama talks about how this absentee father was the guiding star of his life. In the film a
psychologist discusses the effect of an absentee father on his
children; sometimes these children spend their entire lives doing what
they think would please that father, as D’Souza believes happened, and
is still happening, with BHO. (There’s
an element of Greek drama to Obama’s life. You have a kid who was
abandoned at birth by his dad, abandoned at the age of 10 by his mother,
who goes on an odyssey to find this father and himself. What could be more primal as a theme?)

The documentary treats racism, but only in the sense of white Americas's desire to be exhonerated from its racial past. That’s
the key to the success and appeal that got BHO elected: many voters
for him wanted to shed their guilt feelings of racism by voting to
elect a black as president.

As
a result of the ideals of the people in his past, the film argues
that BHO wants to reduce significantly the U.S.'s influence within the
world while increasing the influence of nations that he believes have
suffered or been held back economically or militarily due to U.S. and
western colonialism. (The film undestands colonialism as former
world powers like England and Holland in Africa, and now North America "taking under-developed countries' raw materials, manufacturing them, and then selling those prioducts back to the under-deveopled countries at exhorbitant prices.") To
argue his case, in the film D’Souza interviews some people from BHO's past who understand him, and his motives well.

The film talks about
Islam which may seem conspiratorial at first glance … but we are already
two-thirds there. There are three major countries in the Middle
East—Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Iran has already been "down for the
count" since 1979. Egypt is almost there. All what’s
left is Saudi Arabia. The concept of a unified Muslim world, all
falling into the hands of radical Muslims, with those three major
countries as legs of of a tripod, is not far-fetched.

The
film shows that Obama seems to want to reduce America’s footprint in
the world. He has a different view of America not only from most
Americas, but also from traditional, moderate Democrats. He considers
himself more as a citizen of the world than a citizen of the USA.

The
film suggests that Obama is a global redistributionist, not merely a
domestic one. Obama considers America to be the 1 percent and he wants
to redistribute wealth away from the United States by making it into a
third world country by distributing wealth toward the rest of the world
to compensate for the U.S.' "sin" of colonialism. He also wants to
diminish America’s power in the world. (This is very different from the
desire of traditional Democrats. So, if the film's thesis film is correct,
if traditional Democrats really knew BHO, their confidence in him
would be undermined.) The film suggests that a review of BHO's energy,
foreign and military policies and goals are based in his anti-colonial
"world
view".

2016 may see the end
of the American era. What is meant by that is that in the last 70 years,
it is has been a special time to be an American. America has truly had a
privileged position in the world and that means, in a small way, when
you travel abroad the American passport is better than everybody else’s
passport and the American dollar can be used when other currencies can’t
be. But in a broader way, it means America has been "calling the shots"
around the world.

D’Souza says, “I was
born in a little pocket in the outskirts of Bombay. I came to America
excited about being at the center of things. I believe in the American
Dream. I’d fight to keep that American era going. I think Obama sees it
differently. To him, it’s a bad thing that one country, the United
States, gets to lord over the rest of the world. Obama thinks it would be good to have many powers in the world—Russia, Brazil, China, India, and America—all sharing power. He thinks it will be better
if the
standard of living between countries were leveled. American decline may be inevitable. But we have never before had a president who is a champion of decline.”

The film implies that should Obama
be elected to a second term, the ramifications will be far reaching. It
ends by stating, "Love him, or hate him, now that you know him, the future is in your hands."

If the message in this movie is so essential, why should we have to pay
to see it? Put the movie on YouTube...make it accessible to everyone.
Those who are already dependent upon the government don't have the money
to pay to see it...give it away. Not everything in this country has to
turn a profit does it?

why should he put it on you tube? Michael Moore didn't, he made money with his "documentaries"? Why should a slam on Bush make money while a movie about who this sitting potus is not? This was 10.00 well spent AND worth my time- I say good for him, he wants a capitalist society and so do I. Why should he give it away? It is worth the time and money- period. I went on a sunday afternoon matinee and there were about 400 people- I was kind of surprised but we sat through and very little talking and once in a while there was a "oh, now that makes sense to me" but to Gdog- if you can't afford the matinee price, talk to someone who would like you to see it, I am sure they will "re-distribute" 10.00 for you to see it. In this case, the "re-distribution" makes sense on a personal and national level.

If the message in this movie is so essential, why should we have to pay to see it? Put the movie on YouTube...make it accessible to everyone. Those who are already dependent upon the government don't have the money to pay to see it...give it away. Not everything in this country has to turn a profit does it?

What makes this story impressive is that the movie industry is in a 50 year slump and this movie has been doing well without an adverstising budget and with limited screenplay due to libtard objections

O*ne B*ig A*wful M*istake A*merica!!!

I had to go chasing after my eyeballs which popped clean out of my head after reading something as strikingly clear and honest as Scott Paulson's item above ... ON A CBS SITE! Kudos and ALORS!

Holy Cow! A member of the Main Stream Media...you know those Leftist Lapdogs who subscribe to the anti-America Marxist Agenda and Liberal White Guilt Theory...actually learned something about the Fraud, Phony, Fake, Liar in the White House. What is most incredible is that he gave this important information about the Marxist we managed to elect as the most powerful man in the world in 2008, to the public. May God allow more truth to spill out into the minds of the Democratic Party Dim Wits everywhere so that America can remove herself of the serpent who "occupies" 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

This
response was written to a fox news article after the movie opened in Chicago.
The article was the exact same wording as posted in the Huffington Post as is
the Boston globe as is the Washington post. It was the official denouncement of
the movie. LA Times had a mention in the entertainment section as did The
San Francisco Examiner but they chose to run their own original piece They can
be found in entertainment section as well as political sections. After I posted
this in relation to foxs piece both the piece and article was removed from the
web site.

Please go
to the Washington Post and read some of the more educated comments some from
African Americans who do not like Obama.
There are several arguments as to the state of deficits left by which President,
The movie did enlist a former comptroller of a previous president to give
statistics on the national debt. The movie states it will be worse under Obama,
but please people do your own research. In his own writing Obama states he
would accept 100% taxes if it was for the good of the country.

What neither of these articles mentioned
in the movie was the names of several former mentors of Obama. I will give you
the names and look them up yourself. Frank Marshall Davis, a black man who
mentored Obama as a youth who had communist ties. He was also friends of the
Jarrett family. Bill Ayers who was once on a FBI wanted list. Obama and Ayers
were arrested 0n 8/27/68 together. Robert Unger a leftist brazilian who was a
professor at Harvard. He left to go back to Brazil (Brazil thought he was too
radical and rejected him) and is now back at Harvard University. Latest news
from him is that even he does not think Obama deserves a second term. We all
know of Pastor Jerhrimia Wright(sp) of whom both Obama as well as Oprah Winfrey
parted ways with. The last Person mentioned is a man called Said (pronounced
S-i-eed). Don’t remember his first name cant find him on the internet.

There was a
time Obama himself admits to a party lifestyle in college while in CA around
1979. I personally do not remember this being raked through the pres as it was
with other presidents/candidates who had similar experiences.

The
article does not mention the different family relationships of Obama SR.He was
already Married and had children in Africa when he married Ann. Barrack was
born six months later. Obama Sr went back to Africa and married yet another
time and had more children. Only one family member, barracks brother, who was a
baby when the father died and barrack visited Africa was the only family member
who agreed to be filmed. All others refused. While the film is controversial it is worth seing.

Davis also got Dunham into S & M and there are photos of barry's mom in bondage gear. W

This is such a poor excuse for journalism. No wonder this guy still teaches at a community college. First of all, if you're going to make a big deal about his relationship with Bill Ayers, then really commit to it. All you do is mention it, but don't really go into detail about what you think that really means. I assume because you don't want to sound half as paranoid as some of the crack pots supporting you in the comments.

Also, you said "he must be laughing at his blind followers all the way to the 'new America' they’re allowing him to create" as if he's some super villain in a comic book. I can't think of any cohort more "blind" than those who believe that Obama is a closet Marxist who is intentionally destroying his own country. Be honest with yourself people, its not Marxism you're scared of- its books in general. You really ought to be ashamed of yourself Mr. Paulson and so should whoever allowed this to be published on this site.

So you didn't see the film.

Thank you for an honest review. Too many in the media business are too busy kissing Obama's @ss to notice how bad he is screwing up the country.

Here is the real CHALLENGE for Obama. More and more people are realizing that the Democrat Party is NO LONGER the party of the working middle class, not by a long shot. They are now the party of the illegals, the blacks (except blacks with jobs) , the welfare queens, the public unions, and a few other FRINGE groups. Their "We are for the middle class" is being seen as BS, which is exactly what it is.

Wisconsin was a very blue state, but now its red, AND after this next election, at least 28 states will have republican governors, and the trend is continuing. Obama has lost almost all the white male voters, except for the shrinking group of "White Guilt" "please dont hurt me, I support you" losers.

People are really starting to look around at the republican states vs the democrat states, and the difference is STARK. The republican states have lower taxes, less rules, regulations and laws, and higher employment. The democrat states are constantly calling for "More Taxes".

I live in Nebraska and it has more taxes than anywhere else. And guess what? I live in a Stinking Red State.

thank you for saying what most think and are scared to say

Sorry, but I'm afraid, the illegals and the dead people won't see the movie so they will go ahead and vote for Ocaca along with all those wanting their 'free $hit'.

If anyone thinks that one political party or the other is in charge you are not seeing the big picture. Both sides all agree on policy behind closed doors. They only argue the issues to make it appear we (the citizens) are electing these puppets. The real orginizers are the people behind the money. The Federal Reserve Bank. All politicians do their bidding. All the Bills are written by their lobyists. It's all about taking money from everyone's pocket and putting it into their pocket to create a one world government run by the United Nations. If the U.S. falls financially the entire world falls. That is the goal. Then we all become fearful and that is when we let them take away our legal rights in the name of protection and safety. I say stop worrying about each parties views or your own views and get rid of the Federal Reserve Bank. Don't allow Congress to renew their one hundred year contract that will expired in 2013. Once the Feds are out of the picture then we can start to rebuild our politicial personal with honest people that aren't influenced by the big dollar Federal Reserve Bankers.

If Obama did support his family in Kenya, Americans would ask is he more loyal to Americans or to Africans. With respect to the debt crisis when the banks put the economy in peril with toxic debt who should save peoples money? Or would you have another 1922? Or one of the numerous banking crisises before that? If you think he could have done better then tell me how. One last thing the mark of a great person is to listen to EVERYONE and choose what he believes or does not believe, not just to listen to those other people have said it is okay to listen to.

How about simply obeying the Constitution, which means not trying to take over the economy. Business people know better how to run their firms than a bunch of folks who have never worked in the real-world.

How could he of done better? He could of listened to his Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel and focused more on the economy than lobbying on behalf of Chicago to get the 2016 Olympics. He could of listened to Emmanuel and Biden when they told him to not try to ram his ObamaCare through Congress and instead take his time. He has been through four different Chief of Staff in four years. By your words alone you have deemed about as anything but great. "The mark of a great person is to listen to EVERYONE and choose what he believes or does not believe..." All four CoS have been forced to resign because they disagreed with Obama and he didn't like it. If you disagree with his view point he outs you. No questions asked. I am by no means saying your your definition of a great person is wrong. It is just rather amusing because by that defintion Obama is anything but great.

Let me just concentrate on one thing in this review. First, the reviewer notes that the media did not cover the relation between Obama and Bill Ayers in 2008. Huh? So all the time that Sarah Palin was on the television talking about Obama "palling around with terrorists" was about something other than Ayers? There is more -- a lot more -- in this review and the movie that is simply nonsense. But on this fact alone -- the claim that the media did not cover Obama's relationship with Ayers -- the reviewer loses all credibility.

So you didn't see the film, huh? Scared to see the truth? Almost half of the words spoken were Obama's...

Bingo..!!! and THANKYOU!! :)

I also find it ridiculous that people on the left don't want to see the movie. maybe its because they are scared it might raise questions about their great leader. The liberal media is a joke. They will rip any republican to shreds to find a tiny detail to focus on, ask hard questions in interviews, while obama gets softball questions about who his favorite athlete is or some other joke of a question.

The problem is the majority of america is too stupid to understand what obama is doing to america until its too late. they kinda like getting their free meals, until its too late.

If anyone wants a good book to read, try "real Crash'

What the film obviously leaves out is the picture of the greater conspiracy, the fact that G.W. must also have been in on this plan to ruin the economy and democracy itself.

I think he hit this out of the ball park! This information is out there but is totally ignored by the main street media. Why are we the people such losers that we are not demanding better more honest reporting of our political leaders. I don't hate or distrust my fellow Americans but that is exactly what it feels like if you listen to the main street media types. It feels as if this information is ignored or hyped in a dishonest slant to sell a point of view that only one party will like or not. Just report the facts and let us the people decide if we agree or disagree with a candidate's point of view. The people have proven in the past to be pretty good at picking Presidents on both sides of the aisle, Licoln (Republican) and Kennedy (Democrat). Both have screwed up as well, but we the people have had our say. Today I don't think we are having an honest discussion as Obama constantly shouts from the pulpit. The media is critical to the future of this country but if its going to be biased we the people won't be around for very long.

It's main stream not street

There is a scene where Charlie Rose, and Ton Brokaw both admit not enough is known about Obama. Though they chose to keep things that way.

Millions knew before he was elected what a nightmare this guy was, and saw the fawning media ignore anything that shed him in a bad light. The media handed our beloved Nation over to a Marxist on a silver platter, and the blind and ignorant lemmings continue to follow him toward that cliff. But, like this writer, many have come to their senses, seen the destruction he has caused. Millions out of work, dependent on the government. Billions upon Billions wasted! Deliberately increasing the National Debt to the point of total economic collapse, and if re-elected, he will finish the job.

He sees the writing on the wall, which is why he is blatantly rushing through so many illegal executive orders, shutting down our energy sector, taxing businesses out of existence, or out of the country, putting millions on the Gov. dole, giving amnesty to millions in hopes it will be enough votes to keep him in office...can he lie, cheat and steal his way back to the W.H.? He sure as hell is going to try...

"Shutting down our energy sector" means cutting back on oil and gas welfare, in case you're not clear on Republican-speak.

Wait. The guy who gave the order to get Osama bin Laden pals around with Bill Ayers and, therefore, can't be trusted to protect America's security?

And this same guy, who won't give a dime to his half-brother half way around the world, is a SOCIALIST?!!

And after all this we should TRUST the guy who will only reveal his sources of income one tax return page at a time?

Scott Paulson... How's your dad, Pat, and who are you crapping?

Have you seen the movie ? If you did you wouldn't of made the remark that you posted !

Makes you wonder if his tax returns weren't doctored up by Geithner...

THANK YOU!!! :)

Yes, I firmly believe that "we the people" was born Jan 20, 2009. Nothing that came before that mattered. You bet.
First, there was nothing,
and, then, there was. . .
The United States of America.
Maybe, it was called "Vespucci," back then, who knows? Let's all check our birth certificates.

Yea all this debt is Obama's fault. Forget that other guy before him.

"The other guy" tried several times over 8 years to get congress to do something about it. The Democratic congress (Frank and Dodd) said all was well and no interference needed. Frank said Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were great.

Pres. bush tried to halt much of what was going on with Fannie and Freddie and were slammed un mercifully by the democrats- then we had B. Franke on t.v. months before the crash and he was touting the praises for everything was wonderful with the fannie mae and freddie mac mortgages- how it was good for america. Bush was stonewalled too- but to have bho again and KNOW, JUST KNOW- that he will rule by executive order instead of trying to govern , well, if he is re-elected we will deserve every chunk of excrement that will get dumped on us. (u.s.)

THANK YOU!! :)

Yea, he definitely did all that Old Dog. He ALSO got us into a war we had no business being in, along with making America even more hated than it was previously

Well the other guy was in office for 6 months and 9-11 happen while the commader in chief before him was to busy having sex in the white house and letting Osama plan the 9-11 attack. Wonder what would have happen if Obama was in charge after 9-11 ? White flag ?

This guy teaches English? Poorly written article lacks even proper punctuation. Also, amazing improper word usage: "...role upward across the screen..." I grade this an F, teacher.
