Watch the movie and see what you think about his dreams

After hearing so much about the documentary “2016 Obama’s America,” I went to see it.

The movie was very informative and I now understand why so many of his documents have been sealed and why he was relatively unknown until 2008.

Barack Hussein Obama did not want anyone to know of his past, and after seeing the documentary, understandably so. Hoping to pass himself off as someone he is not, he has certainly succeeded.

Mr. Dinesh D'Souza, author and co-producer of the documentary, followed Barack Hussein Obama’s life from birth to present providing insight and information, something the mass media has failed to do.

It revealed the relationship and teachings of his father, passed to son and evidenced in Obama's own book, “Dreams from my father.”

Unfortunately the dreams Barack Hussein Obama got from his father are not and never have been the dreams of most Americans.

Our country is in a tailspin, both economically and in its foreign policy. And there will be no end in sight if we don’t make a change in this election.

I can’t imagine very many people who can honestly say they are better off or that the country is better off and stronger today than it was four years ago.

I challenge everyone to see the documentary “2016 Obama’s America” and ask themselves if Obama’s dreams for America are their own dreams for America.

  • Outrageous Outrageous

    Distrust of government secrecy has been elevated to an exceptional level with the disclosure the Justice Department covertly examined two months of Associated Press phone records to determine who leaked details to the AP about a foiled terrorist plot.
    This amounts to spying on an American news organization — common practice in dictatorships but scary conduct in a democratic system that prizes the public value of an independent watchdog press.
