I would highly recommend it no matter what side you're on. This is not Michael Moore-like fiction. Much of it is actually narrated by Obama as he's reading from his book. There's also interviews with people from Obama's life, like his brother, his grandmother, Rev. Wright and others. You'll hear things from credible sources that will shock you, and also enlighten you. As I watched Obama bumble through his 1st term I couldn't understand what his motives were. It almost seemed like he was trying to screw things up. The movie presents a sort of model that explains Obama's actions and helps to predict what Obama's America will look like in 2016.

I saw that movie yesterday. I highly recommend it.

Anyone planning on watching the DNC this week? I have sort of a morbid curiosity of how they can possibly spin the last 4 years as a success. And their biggest speaker besides the ticket is Bill Clinton who doesn't exactly agree with Obama.

And the DNC begins with California Democratic Party chairman John Burton comparing Paul Ryan to Nazis. I guess that's about what I'd expect from a democrat. Running on their own record is the LAST thing they'd want to do.

So are the Repubs going to run on their record? The Bush administration was the most irresponsible administration in the history of the country and the Romney/Ryon wants to return to Bush style government. Well, Bush nearly destroyed the country and if Romney gets elected, he can finish the job.
I must give the Repubs credit for getting the brain dead American public into believing our current troubles are Obamas fault. Obama is far from perfect but do we want the Koke brothers running the government?

Obama successfully ran against Bush even though he was running against McCain. I think Romney/Ryan are going to run on their own record and their own proposals. It's financially more responsible than out of control unchecked spending.

I as a Republican was ashamed of W. The only President to outspend W is Obama, by 2 to 1. It's time Obama and the Dems took responsibility for their actions, and stop blaming W.

No one seems to acknowledge that our financial center was attacked on 9/11 and that we then went to war. Ya think that might cost some money?

Now that rhetorical bs of the conventions is over we can settle down and put up with endless political bs commercials. Fundamental changes are needed in our electoral system to save us from all of this. Where is the ethics, where is the honesty?

I propose that we have these people who's job it is to ask hard questions of the candidates and investigate whether the candidates and their ads are telling the truth. They would be unbiased and investigate all sides equally without playing favorites. We could call these people reporters or journalists. I have heard these people existed once. It may be archaic, but I really think it would help. Maybe people like this could rise up again...

Oh man... could you see the look on Obama's face if he came face to face with someone like that? OMG LOL
