This is a great documentary because it explains the nature of the Presidents ideological thinking and makes some bold assertions about the president and America. Extremely interesting. Its a bold statement on the ideology of the president but also a view of what America its becoming. Its a conservative analyzing the true ideology of a president that self proclaims himself as a moderate but in reality is something else. And also makes some warnings about the consequences for the United States and the world of following that path.Its a well documented documentary work but also a great political science work of analysis of the character of the president and more importantly his ideology and its effects on social and international policy.

Dinesh D'Souza has to perform a lot more community service for breaking campaign- finance laws than he thought, with a federal judge saying that D'Souza has to do eight hours each week for the entire five years he's on probation and not just the eight months he was confined to a halfway house.The judge also read aloud a report from a court-appointed psychologist who called D'Souza "arrogant" and "intolerant of others' feelings."D'Souza pleaded guilty last year to illegally shelling out $20,000 in contributions in the name of others for Republican Wendy Long's failed 2012 bid to defeat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

This isn't worthy of being labeled as Documentary. What is presented in this film are isolated facts to prove an initial theory: 'Obama's Anti- Colonialism'. The presentation of this facts disregards every method of Social and Political Sciences Studies (which isn't surprising giving the directors' Academic background). Flagrant examples (among many) of this lack of credible method are statements that Obama's so-called support for Argentina in the Falklands conflict and of the downgrade of oil drilling in the US favoring South American Countries explorations is one proof of this Anti-Colonialism. If the director had researched these 'facts' a little bit better he would have known that some Specialists see these examples as a form of American Colonialism. Some regard the American 'support' to Argentina as a form of securing the exploration of the South Atlantic natural resources for American companies and the same can be said for the Brazilian oil reserves.But these views aren't relevant for the premise of the theory so it's best to disregard them. The most amusing part of this is Obama's brother interview. The questions asked were obviously trying to lead the answers to the sensationalist conclusion that Obama's brother had been abandoned in poverty by the President but the simplicity and intelligence of the interviewee destroyed those tactics in marvelous way just by stating that he was and adult capable of taking care of himself and that if is brother was trying to do good things to the World in the end he was doing good for him. The anger in the eyes of Mr D'Souza eyes was very entertaining. Thank God Portuguese is an always evolving Language otherwise me and Mr. D'Souza would share the same family name (which obviously has Portuguese origins) and that would be a shame on that name. I'm sure my Grandfather (a high regarded Historian) would roll in his grave if he knew the name he loved so much was involved in such disrespect for the Science he admired and lived for. In conclusion I rated 2016: Obama's America 2/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2247692 #IMDb

Danesh D'Sousa puts together a multi media lecture based on his book. A lot of the facts are conjecture about people Obama knew growing up, and he pins him down using guilt by association. He knew a communist in Hawaii three years before entering college. Does that make Obama a communist? He knew a radical student activist in Chicogo linked to some terrorist plots. Does that make him a terrorist? He knew Jeremiah Wright, a racist minister, and does that make him one, too? The interviews of important people on the phone was irritating. Just filming them in the room or with some of the flashy visuals would have been better. There were so many real news events with disappointing responses from Obama that could have been shown here. I really don't buy the idea he's acting on an anti-colonial plan inspired by his father he only knew as a small child. Comparing this with Obama's current record was an interesting theme, but still, a better lecture than a movie. I might add that our so called "liberal" democrats like John Kerry that say we should vote for Obama because he killed someone (Bin Laden) made better statements of why I won't vote for him.
