2016: Obama's America (2012)
Surprisingly Interesting
I saw this movie tonight with my father, and was slightly skeptical. I half expected it to have an in your face approach like the conservative talk radio hosts always seem to have. I can say that as a 20 year old that considers myself to be somewhat more of a moderate than a conservative, I really appreciated what this movie brought to the table.
It was very informational about who Barack Obama is and where he came from; as well as where his parents came from and how their views were shaped and molded. From what I learned in this movie, President Obama's views are simply a consequence of his upbringing and he completely holds true to his father's ideals. Unfortunately, those ideals seem to have connected him with some "shady" people, including communists. I definitely learned some startling statistics and first hand accounts of his life from friends and family members that have shaped my opinion about this man.
I would say that this movie is quite obviously going to be popular with the conservatives, but it worthwhile to see even for a liberal voter. None of the facts or stories in this movie seemed to be fictional and were fairly presented.
