Interesting Article on Obama 2016 in Investors Business Daily (see Link) malificent Aug 28, 10:11

It's nothing more than an Editorial. {nm} Antibody Aug 28, 10:16

It is on page 1 of the actual newspaper of which I have a copy. (more) malificent Aug 28, 10:20

it got mentioned by every single report which discussed this weekend's box office that i read {nm} Moviesnob Aug 28, 10:21

Read the article headling: IBD Editorials » {nm} Antibody Aug 28, 10:22

Do you really think your "logic" and "information" can help you in this battle, my naive friend? {nm} DTXbro Aug 28, 11:12

Investors Business Daily is not an "actual newspaper." {nm} DTXbro Aug 28, 10:55

Here's an objective review of the film by the LAT that asks Where is the line between documentary and propaganda? Antibody Aug 28, 10:31

Objective and LA Times, good one. {nm} hawkfanatic2 Aug 28, 10:42

Talk to Michael Moore about THAT. :-) {nm} Flash Aug 28, 10:47

The article covers that Antibody Aug 28, 10:52

lets just state for the record before this descends into madness that all documentaries have bias. ALL OF THEM. Moviesnob Aug 28, 10:55

Moore has never once claimed to be unbias. Obama's tagline positions itself as unbais, when it isn't. {nm} tawdryhepburn Aug 28, 16:11

The authors insinuation that Moore's "truths emerge through the process" is laughable. Scorpion Aug 28, 11:11

That's not an insinuation. It's a statement. {nm} RogerMore Aug 28, 11:23

OK, it's a statement. {nm} Scorpion Aug 28, 11:26

Thx for posting! {nm} Richard In G Aug 28, 12:01

Interesting article...and would seem a valid criticism of the film. {nm} Catzan Aug 28, 15:57

Check this user review, from user, "bron-tay", on IMDB, if you really want to know what the movie is about. (************SPOILERS**********) elchan Aug 28, 11:06

Novel, premise, but until Obama does anything close to as injurious to our interests as invading Iraq, letting Afghanistan drift or botching DTXbro Aug 28, 12:30

I think the "bailing out of the auto industry" may turn out to be the biggest mistake that the US and Canadian government perpetrated on us. elchan Aug 28, 13:27

Really? The bail-out for GM and Chrysler weren't perfect solutions - but without them, it wouldn't just be those companies that disappeared, Roger More Aug 28, 14:18

Bigger than Iraq? That's daft with risible icing. {nm} DTXbro Aug 28, 15:26

The interesting thing about Obama/D'Souza is that Obama is president and D'Souza is muttering bitterly from the sidelines. DTXbro Aug 28, 11:09
