2016 moving to #1 spot

It sure as hell isn't, as I said earlier, an analysis of his policies that lead most on the right-wing to be against him. Most posters here who are against Obama don't have the foggiest idea what's in the plans he proposes or the bills the GOP passes. You're one of the more informed of that bunch here and I really don't think you pay any attention to the details either.

Clearly you claim to have developed the uncanny ability to read the inner thoughts and motivations of othere without even seeing them.

"The corrupt media will likely tell you 2016 is a success because of racism and hate, but the real reason people are flocking is to try and grasp a better understanding of this awful, divisive, inept, and anti-American failure currently sitting in the Oval Office"

a slick infomercial ... a textbook example of preaching to the choir

Well, I am sure that I will be thoroughly trashed for writing the above, but I did not write it. But I could not have written it better myself.

The film is not after new insight.Rather, it's intent on laying out the arguments of a man who has given the same lecture countless times. That makes for a sluggish film. Even its outrage falls flat.

awful, divisive, inept, and anti-American failure

It is important for each person to sort the information out for himself.

Somehow you think this is an example of how Obama is going to brainwash kids.

When I saw that clip, it reminded me of something that I had seen in the past, during the years of Chairman Mao, and that upset me.

D'Souza then goes through a list of actions Obama has taken as president to support his thesis. Many of them don't hold water:

— D'Souza rightly argues that the national debt has risen to $16 trillion under Obama. But he never mentions the explosion of debt that occurred under Obama's predecessor, Republican George W. Bush, nor the 2008 global financial crisis that provoked a shock to the U.S. economy.

— D'Souza says Obama is "weirdly sympathetic to Muslim jihadists" in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He does not mention that Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and the drone strikes that have killed dozens of terrorists in the region.

—D'Souza wrongly claims that Obama wants to return control of the Falkland Islands from Britain to Argentina. The U.S. refused in April to endorse a final declaration on Argentina's claim to the islands at the Summit of the Americas, provoking criticism from other Latin American nations.

—D'Souza says Obama has "done nothing" to impede Iran's nuclear ambitions, despite the severe trade and economic sanctions his administration has imposed on Iran to halt its suspected nuclear program. Obama opposes a near-term military strike on Iran, either by the U.S. or Israel, although he says the U.S. will never tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran.

— D'Souza says Obama removed a bust of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill from the Oval Office because Churchill represented British colonialism. White House curator William Allman said the bust, which had been on loan, was already scheduled to be returned before Obama took office. Another bust of Churchill is on display in the president's private residence, the White House says.

It's true that Obama's father lived most of his life in Kenya, an African nation once colonized by the British, and that Obama's reverence for his absent father frames his best-selling memoir.

Brainwashing kids? That thought never struck my mind. It looks like you draw conclusions based on nothing but YOUR interpretation.

What happened was as I was watching D'Sousa's film, I had a strong emotional reaction which harkened back to what I had seen years ago.

No, it was "John Nolte, editor at the conservative Breitbart.com". What your quoted website clearly notices.
