Obama Is Prominent in ‘SEAL Team Six,’ Weinstein Film

LOS ANGELES — Thanks to the magic of editing, President Obama will have a starring role in a television drama about one of his biggest accomplishments — the killing of Osama bin Laden — that will be shown just two nights before the presidential election.

But promotional materials and a copy of the movie provided to The New York Times this week also show that the film has been recut, using news and documentary footage to strengthen Mr. Obama’s role and provide a window into decision-making in the White House.

"The real Obama."

This is why he is shown in the famous OBL sit room meeting wearing a windbreaker: it's to hide his golf shirt. He had to be dragged in from the golf course to sit in the posed photo of the OBL raid sit room gathering.

This film is a complete fabrication of history. They apparently even had a scene of Romney opposing the raid but cut it out.

Is there a giant “Mission Accomplished” banner behind our big-eared Marxist president?

And if the Middle East explodes?? He's giving them plenty of advance warning...We know Mr. Obama....It'll be President Romney's problem...

Now let's be real....November 4th is a Sunday...He's going to cancel it at the last minute.....at a podium on the White House Lawn....and then go hide in the caverns....just in case it still explodes.

Hey America! Barry didn’t have anything to do with the death of bin Laden. Not one damn thing. Don’t buy Hollywood’s garbage. Read “No Easy Day” instead. The SEALs were there so they should know. Barry was sitting on his ass in Washington, D.C. watching the feed coming in from a drone. (Or at least that’s what we’ve been told). Barry wasn’t there.

Time for Hussein to send another sacrificial lamb ambassador over there to be murdered for the greater good of his regime.

Obama likes to claim credit for getting Osama. Why hasn’t he tried Khalid Sheikh Mohammed yet?

The FEC should declare this a campaign ad, and force the production company and the network to register as a PAC.

The real news here is the fact that it is in the NY Times and they are saying it is edited fake BS.

Also, if you can believe it, News Weak has Obama on the cover with an article titled...

“Hit the road Barack” why America needs a new President.

Obama is SO two thousand and eight...

Bet the SEALs are totally disgusted with him and are counting the seconds until he is out of office. He uses the military only at his convenience (much like Clinton) yet tries to diminish and destroy them (much like Carter) while he would like to fool Americans into thinking he is the hero riding in to take down OBL. Bush’s administration set all that up and Bush deserves more credit for it than Obama ever should. Obama is NOT Lincoln, he is NOT Reagan, he is NOT our savior.

Please Lord, let Romney/Ryan win and bless this country once again!

This should be deemed an “in kind” contribution to the presidential reelection bit. Assuming it would ever get made, if this was about a Republican president, the Dems would be howling over it being so close to election day.

I've never understood why Osama got so much attention while KSM is basically ignored. KSM is THE GUY responsible for 9/11. Osama was just his backer; the George Soros of the operation.
