This weekend, “2016” hit the $32 million mark, earning it a coveted distinction: top grossing documentary of the year and the second biggest political documentary of all time.

Fans and foes alike agree that it is D’Souza that is to blame for the film’s success.

It is an artistically compelling – if controversial – approach that weaves D’Souza’s personal experiences growing up in Mumbai, India with a disturbing psychoanalysis of Obama’s words from the memoir, “Dreams from My Father.”

"That YouTube of 2016 was not authorized and reportedly has been taken down."

Bummer...I was going to get some popcorn and have a viewing this evening with Mr. hummingbird.

Guess Mr. hummingbird gets TV for ESPN. No bother, I listen to the Great One, Mark Levin, at that time anyway!
