CBS Scot
Paulsen on "2016: The Movie"
This past
week, "2016: The Movie" about President Barack Obama opened in the Chicago area, and I
chose to get more of an education about Obama by seeing the movie. After the
inundation of canned hype for the movie on conservative talk shows across the Chicago radio dial that sounded more like commercials than honest
endorsements of the movie, I was skeptical of what I was going to
see.
While some
talk show hosts sounded like they were genuinely impressed with the documentary
and honestly endorsing the film, there were those who were obviously reading a
commercial script which was not coming across as sincere to the regular listener
at least not to this often-skeptical listener. Perhaps, in future promotions of
the film, it would be wise to have pre-recorded commercials done by the
professional commercial-makers rather than having the likes of Mark Levin and
Sean Hannity doing script after script to promote the movie. After all, the
listeners aren't stupid and resent any attempt at being conned. After many reads
by the talk show hosts, the readings of the commercial script were no more
enthusiastic than another Life-Lock commercial read another commercial that
ought to be professionally done.
Yet, I'm glad
I saw the hyped-film because it was more informative than I had thought it would
be and included less propaganda than I had predicted. If anything, it was nearly
too informative as there was an enormous amount of information condensed into
the nearly one-hour-and-a-half documentary. Fact after fact is put forth which
shows that President Obama definitely has many skeletons in the closet that have
not been released prior to the nation's trust in him with the Oval
Office.
To watch this
movie and realize .... or simply be reminded of ... all that is unknown about
President Obama is of concern. Much of the information has been ignored by the
American media totally. When appropriately reminded as to what is still unknown
about Obama to date, one has to ask: How can any logical-thinking person give a
damn about Romney's taxes while not asking any questions regarding our current
President's past? The man influences the entire globe, but liberal Americans
want to know how much Mitt Romney paid in taxes in the past rather than learn
about the man who they have entrusted with the country.
Unbelievable.
The movie
undeniably links Obama to persons of suspicious-interest due to their past
actions and statements, such as former radical activist and Chicago educator
Bill Ayers. While the media and blinded-liberals cast such facts aside, the
movie does not. No, this portion of the movie is not propaganda, it is the
display of factual information about relationships between people that cannot be
denied. Yet, the left does deny the facts that are right in front of
them.
Quite
disturbing is the talk of the United
States economy in the film. The
current national debt which has increased two-fold during Obama's presidency and
the horrendous economy is suggested to be part of the plan to strip the nation
of democracy is reasonable cause to make citizens totally dependent on the
government. The left is aghast at this suggestion of the current economy. They
actually believe that Obama is unintelligent enough to let this economy just
happen. Ironically, it's many of the people on the right who know Obama's not
stupid, and much of what has happened to the United States in the
past four years is part of Obama's plan.
How could one
so-highly educated and intelligent as Obama not know what he was doing when he
incurred such debt? I left the movie thinking more strongly than I had in the
past that the current debt and this economy was part of Obama's plan all along.
Increasingly making Americans dependent on the government is the plan. What's
more, he knew his blind followers would believe it was not the plan and, of
course, was all Bush's fault.
He must be
laughing at his followers all the way to the new America
they're allowing him to create. My belief is that Obama continues to
prey on his die-hard followers stupidity to accomplish his personal goals
for America.
The most
disturbing part of the film to me was the interview with President Obama's
half-brother George Obama from Nairobi,Kenya. How can Obama claim to want to help
people when he has done absolutely nothing for his own family? It makes me
wonder if he really cares about anybody if he can't find it in his heart to help
his own family.
As the
closing credits started to role upward across the screen, the audience
applauded. Me, I just walked out reasonably upset.
Those
who have already decided to vote for Obama will probably not even see the movie.
It's sad but they probably don't want to know the truth when it is laid out so
clearly for them in this documentary. The independents who are still deciding
who they are going to vote for ought to see this film. I'm quite confident that
any undecided voter who sees this film will know who to vote for after viewing
this documentary. If you know you're not going to support the left in this
coming election, see the film out of interest if you like. But, fair warning,
it's disturbing and quite frightening to say the least.

Apparently, conservatives think he has the ability to start 2 wars and send the economy into a depression like free fall BEFORE he was even president!!!
Even your description is full of innuendo and generalities intended to bolster your position. But hey, that's propaganda 101, right.
Not a single fact up there! Makes me wonder if there was a single fact in the entire film.
You really think Obama is the only President that had the debt go up? XD The problem is much bigger than any President. The problem is the system itself that is not sustainable.
This isn't like we think we might get cancer, the system is the cancer. It really is not sustainable. We need a new system, one optimized to fulfill for the needs of humanity with as little debt, survitude, suffering, etc as possible.
Much of the stimulus, which was around 700 billion, was squandered on wasteful pet projects like Solyndra which also had the nefarious purpose of paying off Obama money bundlers. The only shovel ready job Obama created was clearing the bullshiite he promoted to get the 700 billion slush fund in the first place. Watch this video. He's laughing at all of us, including YOU:
