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.

My wife and I went to watch the film prior to Obama's re-election. We literally had the last two seats in the theater, for the last show of the day, they were selling out so quickly. It's a shame more people didn't watch the film and really think about the message.One must put the film in context. At the time D'Souza made his film, a great many people were still arguing about whether or not Obama was actually born in the USA, if he was actually eligible to become President in the first place, much less for a second term, and those who questioned Obama were immediately attacked and labeled by the Democrat machine as racists.D'Souza avoided the so-called "Birther" argument and instead took a unique tack: by closely analyzing Obama's admitted history--taken from his own memoir--and retracing his steps, D'Souza wanted to interview those who personally knew Obama and his family and reveal who the people were that were his influences, in order to then determine what his real world-view was.It is true that the introduction seemed long, but there is good reason for this; to counter the inevitable accusation of "racist", D'Souza spelled out how much he had in common with Obama, and how, initially, he was intrigued by him. But how that intrigue had given way to suspicion and then alarm by what he had written about himself (if you believe he actually wrote is own memoir) and what he said he intended to do.By the time he actually retraces Obama's steps an influences, the argument is well made; Obama's world view was formed by his expatriot mother, whose virulent anti-American beliefs were core to her divorce from her "second" husband, Soetero, as well as those of his estranged "biological father", Barack Obama senior. Obama was steeped in anti-colonial revolutionary philosophy, surrounded by well known Marxists who influenced Obama for decades, closely, and personally.D'Souza backs up every step of his argument, allowing close associates, friends and even family to explain both Obama Sr and Jr. And the conclusion about Obama's intentions are then both shocking and quite believable.The fact is, that more than 2 years after I saw the film, real historical events appear to have confirmed Obama's intentions. From Fast and Furious to Benghazi, arming of Islamists in Libya and Syria, the treatment of the Fort Hood shooter to his clear preference for Muslim "revolutionaries", his constant use of class envy and race tensions to divide the nation, and his attempts to weaken US influence and "lead from behind" around the world, all validate Obama's perverse views of the USA and his desire to weaken her.Most recently, his actions regarding the flood of illegal immigrants seems to yet again demonstrate that Obama will do ANYTHING to "fundamentally transform" the USA and knock her down several pegs.Considering what a great country this once was, and how deeply troubled it now appears to be under his "rule" - rather than governance - leaves us wondering why this has been tolerated, and if the nation will ever recover from this betrayal from within.

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
