Saw it FRI night in BHM, AL with 2 friends at the 7:20 p.m. showing in a Carmike theater. Got there 1/2 hour before the start. Seating was already 1/3rd full. Demographics were 85% >40 years of age - totally white. By show time theater was nearly full. Quiet as a tomb during and after the movie.
During the previews they showed a preview of a Mexican film coming with English sub-titles ... some thing like “Letters from ...”
Guess FR keeps me up to speed on BHO. The only 2 new take-aways for me were ...
1. More background on his Indonesian adoptive father, Soerto, and how Stanley Anne Dunham divorced him because he took a job with an American oil company.
2. DD’s interview with BHO’s half brother in Kenya. It was fascinating to hear him say (a) BHO didn’t owe him anything, and, (b) Kenya would be much better off financially had the UK maintained its presence in Kenya.
2 small beefs ...
1. The interviews/conversations with several conservative commentators had them doing their interviews over cell phones while the cameras were rolling. Looked fake.
2. The map DD displayed near the end where he drew a barbed wire boundary around the Muslim nations from Morocco to Pakistan and declared them the new United States of Islam. He should have included Turkey, Bangladesh, and Indonesia (and maybe some of the former U.S.S.R. central Asian states).
Otherwise, a very well done film. The under 40 crowd needs to see this movie, but they do not appear to be coming.
I wish DD had included about another 4 to 5 mins of clips of Obama’s own words over the previous campaign on his promises and what he actually did and some more of his blatant lies and verbal slip ups like when he said he was a Muslim.

Also noted a lack of minorities at the 2:10 matinee. When the movie ended there was a lot of clapping by attendees.

Obama doesn’t owe him anything. Why would Barack have to support some step brother that his father gave some sperm to some women too? That whole part of the movie was ridiculous.
