Ending was sobering. The map of ‘United Islamic States’ turned my stomach.

That would be the Caliphate, under its own nuclear umbrella.

I saw it at a matinee this afternoon; theater was 1/4 full (not bad for a matinee on a holiday weekend in Minneapolis).

Tremendous production details; I loved the way they established the author as

a) a fellow victim (Indian, as in helpdesk

b) Ivy League grad

They used a mixture of historical data, on-camera interviews with experts (New York University, University of Hawaii, family members) as well as voice-overs from Obama reading from Dreams From My Father to establish the point.

And then only with say 10-15 minutes to go did they go into his extreme radicalism, and only the last 5 minutes did they get into the stomach-churning predictions. All illustrated graphically as befits a film presentation.

And -- as befits marketing -- the film ends with an appeal to the viewer: "It depends on YOU" and the closing image: Love Him or Hate Him, Now You Know Him.

A+, five stars.

Thinking more about that sense of dread as the film reached its end. The scene we all know, but was shocking to see on the big screen: Obama practically begging Medeved for more time. That he’d have more flexibility after the election.

No one in the media has pursued this. Why is the President of the USA cowering before the Russians? The fact that Tapper, etc care so little about pursuing truth is chilling.
