I saw the film this weekend with my informed, but not rabid anti-Obama wife. She doesn’t care for the man, and was never inclined to vote for him, but after seeing the movie, she was “ profoundly disturbed” by the lack of reporting from the national press. Had people been aware of these obvious, and serious red flags, any thinking American would have second-guessed entrusting our checkbook and national security to a mysterious, silky-voiced reader of someone else’s speeches....no background, no substance. This was American Idol.
While powerful, my only complaint with the film is that D’Souza should have spent a few more minutes demonstrating the American press’ willing abtication of thier role as unbiased fact-finders of truth.....regardless of personal opinions and politcal persuasions.
Given that Woodword and Bernstein won a Pulitzer for Watergate, an ethical journalist would have siezed on this candidate’s background, and made him/herselves a (wealthy) household name simply by doing their job, and pointing out that BHO is not who you think he is to the American voters. It takes a foreigner to rub our noses in the obvious.
....America knew more in 72 hours about Sarah Palin, and Joe the Plumber than we still know about BHO....now America knows more.
Anyone who can't see the 'bias' in the press doesn't want to see it.
