— Ace This doesn't seem possible to me -- not because I doubt the movie, but how can a political documentary beat Batman? Or the Expendables 2?
But in fact the film is, for the moment, opening as the country's number one film.
Huh?
Not to step on Obama 2016, but there's another one coming out on DVD too.

Citizen's United was a three-person "Corp" - that's fewer then Thomas Paine or Benjamin Franklin used. Who were obviously meant to be covered under two separate clauses of the First.

Going to see it tomorrow! I was surprised that my husband's aunt, who pretty much swallows every liberal bromide on entitlements, sent me information on it. I guess it's getting press outside conservative circles.

Interesting. Depending on how things come together with friends tomorrow, I might catch it at the Easton Googleplex.
I caught D'Souza on Beck this morning for a short time and Obama is every loathesome piece of shit we've imagined him to be times a thousand.
I almost don't care if I miss it because that's how he carries himself. That's just the despicable thing that he chooses to be.

Mind-boggling.
Sometimes I think we're at one of those "tipping points" that you always hear about, but they're usually somebody's fantasy.
It's almost like the public is saying, "I'm sick and tired of hearing all this class warfare, socialist, shit, while feeling like I can't say anything against it, because somebody might say I'm racist, and I'm not going to take it any more!"
It's like it's backlash time, where the anger against all the lies and phony claims of racism come out, and suddenly everybody's saying - let's dump this narcissistic loser, and his whacky, senile, old side-kick, too! We want the Old America back, where you could at least get a job, and TRY to make it in life.

My understanding is that it's gross receipts in the time period. This movie has 1/3 the screeens of The Expendables 2 and beat it this weekend. I'll be very surprised and delighted if the movie has staying power. We'll know soon.

I see that question posed from time to time and crack up. No way. If/when Obama is pried out of office, the Dems will work harder than the GOP to prevent him from returning. Once he's gone they're going into a collective freakout once they realize the full damage he's done to the party. MSM too regarding their credibility, I hope.

* Obviously, the audience was composed of like-minded people before they drove to the theater to buy a ticket and walk in the door. That said, it is a rare audience that applauds at the end of a movie, and that is what I just saw.
* The movie doesn't even address this, but if the libs think they can demagogue their way into retaining Medicare in it's present form, I think they have another thing coming. The theater where we saw this movie was damned near completely full...we had to sit down near the front. I'm 55, and Mrs. azlib is near that, and most in the audience were at least ten years older than either of us. There'll be no gaining votes by portraying Romney or Ryan as pushing granny off a cliff because these old people know that Medicare is rapidly failing and that there is no way to make it viable for their grandchildren.

The solution to that is to get an old fashioned mechanical alarm clock that is so fucking loud that you actually jump out of bed and beat it to death against the floor until it stops.
And then it usually starts ringing 5 minutes later.
It's a sleep adjuster but it works.

David Bossie.
Wasn't he some fallen character in the Republican party?
And those ......people in the clip for "Hope and Change"? How pathetic. Grown adults could be that deluded as to what Obama was about in 2008.
To hear their pathetic lamentations and rationalizations actually makes me feel worse about the country, because they represent so many people that actually have no clue about what people in politics are actually about. They really expect government to fix all their problems. When Romney doesn't and some other smooth talking A-hole shows up in 2015 to run as a Democrat, they will go and believe him, too.
I mean this Missouri race with McCaskill and Akin; frankly what a couple of losers. And one of them will end up being a US Senator, probably McCaskill the dolt gets re-elected. She is a hapless dunce. This is our government, and these are the louts we elect. And the media just wants to pour gasoline on the fire and watch it all burn and laugh about it.

Part of the problem is that they fill the role of validation in their lives into the exercise of political suffrage. They look at the system around them and because they cannot make it work in their frame of understanding they delude themselves into thinking "change" is a valid goal in itself. Add in the narcissism that it is society as a whole that must change and not you and you fool yourself into thinking you can go through the motions and still gain.
They are dangerous, in the same sense that you don't hand a loaded revolver to a chimp.
What happens next is not the chimps fault but the person handing the chimp the gun.
We have a lot of work to do as a society to undo the damage done to the 16-27 year old population.

I'm a spray tech at The Medallion Club which is northeast of Westerville and designed by Jack Nicklaus Jr. and managed by Century Golf, Arnold Palmer's company.
Which doesn't really mean dick but it's fun to pretend that we have provenance.

I'm pretty sure that it has no staying power. Sorry to be an Eeyore, but the people seeing it this weekend are the hardcore rightwing. The article talks of people planning bus trips to see it. That's not what the general population does to see movies. That's what political junkies like us do.

Now they're talking about Bain....so far positively.
Ooops....now they're going negative.

They did the story of him taking over the olympics and turning it around.
Now they're talking about winning the governorship of MA. Used the veto 800 times that were mostly overridden by the legislature.
Interview a dem from the legislature who claims the governorship was just a stepping stone to run for the presidency.
Now healthcare. They're showing how happy he was to sign it into law. OY!

"The American people have not had a more distinctive choice between Obama and Romney." Then they show two clips, one of Obama talking about 'a bottom up economy.'....and Mitt talking about 'restoring America'.
Oh geez....it's starting over again.

I didn't mind that D'Souza made himself the co-star but then, I was also born a subject of the British Empire.
I noticed that the movie isn't directed at Americans so much as to pro- Americans. There's almost nothing about, say, Christianity in here; and nor about Americans as an ethnic nation.
D'Souza sees America as an ideal of freedom, and he evangelises that ideal to the (non-Muslim) third-world - especially to Indonesians, Kenyans, and Indians. One jarring note was that he wondered why we weren't doing anything about the "genocide" in Syria.

You'd probably be banned if you did
but one thing you've entirely nailed and that is that Obama is a foreigner whilst still, technically, being born on American soil.

I picked it up the moment I heard him speaking in the dem primaries. He made very strange un-American mistakes in his English (both grammatical and weird misunderstandings of common idioms) and even odder un-American mistakes in his historical references.
He reminded me of more than a few foreign friends I've had who grew up in America for their first 4 or 5 years. They speak English without any accent and can easily be mistaken for Americans at first blush, but as you listen to them you start to identify these odd, little perversions of the language that creep into their talk (though still without any accent). It's a bit weird as the sound of the English and the structure of it are in such dissonance. They are clearly foreigners but give the shallow impression of being Americans in their American accents, though it does not extend to their thinking. My friends shappened to love America, for the most part, but they still did not think like Americans even though they sounded like us on the surface. Barky was clearly of this sort and it hit me immediately. Then, looking at where he actually did grow up, what the situation was at the time (funny how no one ever really mentions "The Year of Living Dangerously" when talking about Barky's upbringing, which was only a couple of years earlier in the timeline and is a good movie all on its own) it all became pretty obvious as to how his personality had formed and what it was organized around and directed at. After that, pretty much everything he said or did made perfect sense in that context. That's how this has always looked to me.

"If Obama doesn't win in 2012 do you think he'll run again in 2016?"
He will run for Secretary General of the UN. He spent the last years locking up the votes of anyone who doesn´t like the US.

Saw 2016 today with my wife. Granted, a lot of the audience (3/4 full, early showing) were older citizens - like myself - who are concerned about the future for our offspring. And we were shocked about the potential for distruction this administration poses. After the showing, in the lobby, the anger was palpable -- and the comments that I heard were in particular aimed at the ignorant, gullible folks who got taken in by this poser and put him in office. This is not an anti-Obama film, but simply a how-it-happened guide.One can almost feel sorry for Obama- he was guided and misguided by incredibly wrong-thinking, mean and confused individuals from the beginning. It's too late for him, that die is cast- but it is obvious he can no longer even be considered in a seat of influence.
See this movie, and recommend it to everyone you know. Heaven help us.

Just saw obama 2016 with my husband, we're 50 ish. I am in NH (home of some of the Free Staters John Stossel mentions). The screening room is small but it was pretty full, actually counted around 100 people for 4:15 showing. Most were over 55, a couple of younger couples seen & actually about 6 20 to 30 yr olds. There was an audible laugh when Pelosi said "We have to pass it to see what's in it". It is well done & moves along decently. Yeah, we do learn that Barry is a Marxist, his mom, grandparents were too. His gramp got him hooked up with Frank Marshall Davis in hawaii, as a black mentor for him, Davis is/was a Commie too. Seems Barack was fed all this gushing praise for his Dad from his mom. Surprising she would do this considering he married her & committed bigamy as he had a wife in kenya and 2 kids. So barack had this admiration & longing for the absent father. And the father was a rabid anti colonialist, hated the UK & all countries like it & considers out beloved US in the same vein. They mentioned Baracks "spreading the wealth not only applies to US citizens BUT he believes THAT globally the wealth of the US needs to be spread to other nations. Proving this is his shooting down of the Canada pipe line, he wants us to get our oil from other countries so our wealth flows to them & we are bound to them due to out oil needs. He has even taken US tax monies & gifted it to Brazil & Mexico to search for oil & SELL IT BACK TO US !!!! When we financed getting it !!!!! People clapped when it finished, something you don t often come across these days.
