xsmommy, I was surrounded with most older viewers. We were packed in like sardines. I could tell the woman sitting next to me didn’t know any of it, but I could also tell she was not a supporter. Now she can go back and explain a few things to family and friends.
A very pointed and accurate observation, but also one not considered to be "politically correct."
Hes a smart guy.
He appears to be smarter than his brother.
Ann Dunham as quoted in the Anarchy Alley link says that she had met Obama, sr., in Hawaii and married him. A following portion caused me to doubt whether they actually did marry, inasmuch as he already had a wife in Kenya.
Even more significant, she did not then go on to state that they had a son born in Hawaii; only that she later shipped the boy from Kenya to Hawaii to the custody of her parents and, of course, Frank Davis.
magdalen, he also didn’t mention that the Dunhams moved from Ponca City, OK to Washington State to send their daughter to a school with two teachers who focused on communism. I wish that had been in there.
zeebee, anti-colonialism or anti-colonialists. The significance is huge is this case.
Elsijay, lots of speculation. D’Souza stayed away from anything he couldn’t full document. We still don’t come close to knowing Obama’s real background.
Rose-Bud.
thecodont, yes the connection to the wider world is clear. The other significance of anti-colonialism is where he has allowed drilling, the countris he has given or loaned money to for drilling and the idea that it’s payback for what the US and the UK did in other countries.
I think D’Souza presented a very valid case. There’s also the part about Lolo going to work for big oil, what she said to him and what happened then. Anti-colonist!
His “anti-colonialism” is emotional and reactionary. He isn’t thinking about technology and cultural exchanges that can lift up the economies and standard of living of all countries. For him it’s “payback time” for the brown- and black-skinned people against their “white oppressors” — never mind that those “oppressors” introduced paved roads, utilities, clean drinking water, a legal system, literacy, industry, better agricultural methods, more food for everyone, etc.
This thread title needs a “spoiler Alert” tag for lurkers.
It showed more than that. It showed an anti-Isreal/pro-muslim leaning that explains the push to weaken Israels biggest supporter (US). With America (as we know it) gone, Israel stands alone, and surrounded by radicals that want every last Jew crucified. I have seen this Biblical perspective explained for years, but now the secular world is recognizing it too. Prep for SHTF-time, like nothing ever seen before or since...
Not his step brother. His half brother. A step brother is not biologically/genetically related to you - he’s the son of your stepmother or stepfather that they already had when they married your parent. A half brother has the same father or mother that you do.
I saw the movie tonight. I knew all of it and thought a lot more should have been included, but it was still great.
My Dad walked out horrified.
Thank you for your first-hand reports. Do you think that liberals/progressives/commies — or undecided voters, young voters, or Blue Dog Dems, for that matter — will pay to see this movie? Would they regard it as a conservative might regard a Michael Moore film?
My suspicion is that far too few people who need to see the film will do so. I am thinking I might need to blanket suspected Obama sympathizers in my circle with the 2016 DVD when it becomes available (reportedly before the November election)....
Interesting question. I'd have to see the movie again in a more liberal venue (i.e. a college town) and take notes on the viewership and reactions. This afternoon's showing was in a suburb and was a somewhat more culturally conservative neighborhood.
Bottom line is I hope he is voted out....this movie can only help that process IF more Independents go to the film and not just us who wasn’t going to vote for the guy anyway. My post was pretty snarky but agains just us here.
It’s Roots of Obamas Rage on film watered down a bit basically.
I was surprised how neutral it was. It was not a hit piece whatsoever.
Obama has been called a Marxist,a Socialist,and a Communist among other Things,but one thing you cant call him is an American,That is what I took from the Movie.
Also an Issue that I have read about but have not heard in the Campaign at all,Our Nuclear Arsenal is Being Depleted,From 1500 missles to 300 and if Obama is reelected he has plans for another 80% reduction while our enemies are Building them as fast as they can. If that does not cause you concern think your Social security check will arrive with Missles Flying into your mailbox?
The missile reduction was what stood out most to my 18 yo daughter also. Extremely sobering.
