What's Behind the Curtain

2016: Obama's America is a movie by conservative author Dinesh D'Souza that takes a close look at President Obama's roots and what this country is likely to look like if he is given four more years in the White House, much of it in Obama's own words. It is also the movie that has thus far grossed more than Sylvester Stallone's new movie, The Expendables 2, much to Hollywood's surprise.  2016themovie.com/

In terms of how D'Souza approaches his subject, a reviewer in Powerline notes:

" In a nutshell, his theory is that Obama’s world-view can best be understood by reading his memoir, Dreams From My Father, and taking it seriously. Barack Obama Jr., Dinesh argues, has assumed the anti-colonialist, anti-Western, anti-American, anti-free enterprise perspective of his father, which explains much of his otherwise-puzzling conduct as president."

He goes on to say that D'Souza:

"...is on to something here, and his premise helps explain, for example, why Obama returned Churchill’s bust, backs Argentina in the conflict over the Falklands, and tilts toward the Palestinians."

As the television ads say, though, "But wait, there's more!" And there is which is why you should go see the movie currently playing at the Regal Santiam 11 or your local theaters and take an uncommitted friend with you.
