There's a new anti-Obama
hit piece "documentary" out in theaters called
2016: Obama's America. Based on Dinesh D'Souza's
ahistorical book The Roots of Obama's Rage,
2016 has done
quite well at the box office, taking the #8 spot and making $2.2 million. The timing of its release as well as subject matter make me think that this film is the conservatives' answer to Michael Moore's
Fahrenheit 9/11, and its creator (primarily known for losing in theological arguments to the late Christopher Hitchens) wrote a
Forbes piece in 2010 that accused the President of being "the most antibusiness president in a generation, perhaps in American history" and of supporting "a $100 million mosque scheduled to be built near the site where terrorists in the name of Islam brought down the World Trade Center." He chalks up Obama's actions to an "anticolonial ideology" which he borrowed from his father, Barack Obama Sr. This should give you a rough idea of how factually accurate
2016 is, and it may just do the job that the recent
Swift Boat piece against Obama couldn't: mobilize conservatives to rally around the presumptive Republican nominee,
