2016: Obama's America

This year has kind of been a weird one for me. I am a movie fanatic... I love movies, and in high school I would go to movies almost every weekend.  My classmates would pretty much ask me for movie recommendations.  In college, I stopped going as often because I was poor.  This year, I have seen four movies.  Four.  And it's September.  This has happened for several reasons.  First off, I went to school in California and now I live in DC where movies, even matinees, are ridiculously expensive.  Second, I normally work seven days a week -- I gotta pay the bills, yo.  And thirdly, as I have become older, there just aren't as many movies that interest me enough to actually want to go and pay to see them.  I have Netflix which gives me access to tons of movies that I may have been semi-interested in but not willing to pay $12 to see.

Yesterday, I went to go see 2016: Obama's America.  I know, big surprise, right?  25% of the movies I've seen in theaters this year have been politically based.  I think if there is anyone who is confused as to what Obama has been doing for the past 3 1/2 years, or knows he's bad but doesn't quite know why, or is just on the fence about this Romney guy (who I am finally excited about, thanks to this speech) than this is the movie for you!

It is no secret that I have been a fan of Dinesh D'Souza, who produced and wrote this movie based on two of his books, for years. His book, Letters to a Young Conservative, is one of the two that got me into politics to begin with.  He is kind of like my political father, in a way.  So of COURSE I am going to see this movie.  D'Souza is a class act.  The amount of scrutiny and criticism he has faced because of this film has been over the top.  I mean seriously, D'Souza is an Indian immigrant and is THE SAME COLOR AS OBAMA.  He is not racist.  Sheesh.  In fact, D'Souza even relays how much he relates to Obama at the beginning of the film, from their birth year, to their college graduations, to their marriage years.  If anyone should be a Barack Obama supporter, it should be D'Souza.

But he isn't so, you know, RAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST.  And stuff.

D'Souza sheds light on the ideology behind some of the seemingly crazy things Obama has done -- like returning the bust of Winston Churchill to England.  These actions are not simply ignorance of the American political system, but anti-colonialism.  Obama relates to his father's roots in Kenya.  D'Souza even went to Kenya to interview Obama's half brother George, who has written a book, and revealed that George strongly disagrees Obama Sr.'s & Obama Jr.'s anti-colonialism.



Mind blowing stuff, really.

CPAC 2012

If you have extra time in the upcoming weeks, I encourage you, check this movie out.  The media has bashed it non-stop, Hollywood has pretty much ignored it, and the liberal elite predicted its complete failure.  This has proven to be crap, as it topped the box office last weekend.  In my hometown of Wichita, my dad told me that the movie was sold out for the entire weekend, and by all accounts, this seems like a phenomena that happened all over the country.  Who would think that the media and Hollywood would actually be out of touch with normal Americans? Ha.
