[who knows what evil?]

It is still doing well in the theaters, though...moved into the #4 slot ALL-TIME box office receipts among ALL documentaries.

The filmakers have recovered their costs through sales to the choir.

I think the film should now be made generally available in order that choir members be able to send the link to those who don't like obama but are too apathetic to vote and to those who wouldn't support obama if only they knew where he really is coming from.

“Important. Looks that Fox News is going to air the documentary Obama 2016. Heads up for this Sunday night 9:00 p.m.,” reads another.

And if they tuned in at that time they got to see Hannity airing 10 minutes worth of Obama ads instead. Worst Hannity ever.

This one would probably do better after having seen both. It explains a lot that 2016 didn’t:

When your movie gets pirated, then you know You’ve Arrived.

So are folks who viewed the YT online.....will they get into trouble?

>> When your movie gets pirated, then you know You’ve Arrived.

Not unless a malicious move to kill revenue.

[rwfromkansas]

No. Only maybe the uploader.

But that is up to them. It is their property. And the last line in the article mentions a DVD release.

If this is just a PR Campaign for the film, I like it. I think the movie can actually gain in popularity as more people start paying attention to the Election..

I agree. I think that it might reach an important audience.

But, I understand if they want to continue to collect the revenue, from theaters, DVD sales and rentals, etc.

The filmmakers behind 2016: Obama’s America are claiming a coordinated attack engineered by supporters of Barack Obama to suppress the box-office results of the movie, which is a critical look at the president.

If true, Obama supporters are dumb as bricks. Strike back at the makers of a film critical of their hero by making the film more widely available on the Internet? I hope he has more friends like that.

Take a look at the critic’s v. the public’s opinions of the movie: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/2016_obamas_america/

Younger Americans simply cannot relate to a world without the Internet and free communication between free people. Imagine what this election would look like without the Internet.

Gatekeepers would spin the news telling us what to think and what was happening. Imagine that Reagan had passed vouchers two decades ago. Obama wouldn’t have ever been elected. Without consistent and persistent indoctrination of children our nation’s long nightmare would have ended already.

It will be released on DVD on Oct. 16 and available on Amazon.

I watched it, it's really nothing to get excited about. (All old news if you've been paying attention!)

If you wanna see some REAL anti-Obama stuff that will piss you off, find "Dreams from My Real Father - A Story of Reds and Deception"

Here's the trailer for it.

The whole thing WAS online here this weekend (but now the site says it's offline until Sept 25.

[Usagi_yo]

No, but I wish I had 90 minutes of my life back.

Seriously though, I saw nothing controversial or denigrating to Obama. As documentaries go, it laid out an overview of Obama and his socialistic back ground. I was glad that there was no ‘grand conspiracy’ stuff in it to put one off.

[Slump Tester]

Youtube had a line at the top about how it was unlisted, and only the people with the link would be able to watch it. Were the rats collecting IP addresses and and watching who sent it to who?
