Scrolling through videos to watch in Amazon Prime I came across this one. After having watched President Barack Obama's last Media Correspondent's dinner, I thought before he leaves office I ought to find out a little more about him. Timely, huh? In 2008 I thought we did not know enough about him, but there is certainly more to Barack Obama than meets the eye, so why not learn more? Why not indeed ... but this movie has nothing.It is titled to sound like his autobiographical book introducing himself to the country for his run for the Presidency, but it is not that, it is a very dishonest attempt to pretend to sound like it was written about Obama.Well, it started out interestingly enough, spoken in an intimate first person tone as if it was written in Barack Obama's own voice it starts to talk about his father being a communist and how bringing communism to the US was his lifelong dream. OK ... what's wrong here. I took a closer look and this is nothing Obama did himself. In the reader's voice it says he knows he misled the American people and goes on more about communism.Well, I don't know how unintelligent someone has to be to watch this so-called documentary and believe it, but I knew right away it was nonsense. I am no expert in communism or Marxism, but I know enough to know that Obama is not a Marxist, or a communist or anything close to that. He is more of the 1% and American elitist with a casual laid back pragmatic attitude that allows him to interact with people with great social skills.I am not am Obama fan, though his care-taking of the US from 2008 to 2016 was a fairly good piece of work. He passed ObamaCare which was better than nothing, but certainly not communist or Marxist. I prefer a more New Deal approach of Single Payer Health care. He did not find a way to deal with the Republicans so he did allow the tax cuts to remain and the budget deficits to rise ... and that is sooner or later going to kill the country, or at least bankrupt the government. Who knows how far away that time is, so I think in the near future people will look back on the Obama years with nostalgia.Back to this fictitious attack on Obama ... it is so devious and underhanded that if it was true there would no need to soup it up and try to deceive viewers and push a bunch of lies into it. I am sad I wasted time on this and it is even more sad that there are so many Americans who would waste time, energy and money to attack a popular President who isn't perfect, but has done what he thinks he can do in office - agree or disagree with him.This movie is awful, to be avoided and warned against. 1/10

At first, this brain-damaged hatchet job seems like an example of Poe's Law gone way too far. It is so outrageous that even most reasonable Republicans walk away in disgust, secretly hoping that this is either a failed parody/satire, or even better, an action by a Democrat Agent Provocateur type designed to make everyone to the right of Obama look like a lunatic.But, instead, it is the work of a conspiracy theorist, and has been adopted by the "Obama is a secret Muslim/Communist" crowd. Every time a so-called conservative cites to this trash with approval, intelligent conservatives should hang their heads in shame, or better yet, take conservatism back from these imbeciles.For those who are criticizing the GOP as "the party of stupid," they can point to this as Exhibit A.

It starts with: "Director's Note: This film is based on actual events, interviews, and archives, as well as recreations of probable events, using reasoned logic, and approximated conversations to provide a cohesive understanding of Obama's history. Is this the story Barack Obama should have told, revealing his true political foundations and his agenda for fundamentally transforming America? (signed) Joel Gilbert" The terms "...probable events, using reasoned logic, and approximated conversations..." are the real meat of this piece of junk. Communism has proved to be a failed experiment. It's hard to believe that Gilbert truly thinks Obama would model his administration on those ideals. He's like a little gossiping drama queen, who wanted to do as much damage as he could to Obama. Hell, it isn't even well done. And...to be fair, maybe Michael Moore should take a cue from those director notes.

The so-called "documentary" is pure fiction and speculation. Joel Gilbert is a tool of the people who hire him to make this drivel--such as CPAC and the Hudson Institute. That at least is documented. If I were to speculate, I'd say the same money that went into finding an Egyptian Muslim with too many pseudonyms to count (Nakoula Basseley Nakoula being one, Sam Bacile another) paid for this undocumented documentary based on excerpts from Barack Obama's first book. Gilbert's previous work was shown with praise at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Conference in Washington D.C. and was a winning film at the Hudson Institute Film Festival in New York City. The Hudson Institute was founded by Herbert Kahn, son of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, who worked with Albert and Roberta Wohlstetter to establish the Neoconservative group of crazies that controlled George W. Bush's warmongering administration.
