I felt like it was a waste of time, honestly. It wasn't what I expected and it was kinda stupid,

Haven't even heard of it...I may pop off to YouTube and see if I can track it down .
But if it's one of those birther bullshit "he's a homocommunist - and a alien" things I wont be able to stick it long.
I mean goddess knows I have little time for the man, but bullshit fantasy fiction klanner criticism of him is doing his image more good than ill. It puts all of us who seek to call him into question in a position of needing to fend off accusations that we're on our way to a cross burning and just means no idiot will listen to reason or facts you have to offer. once they've decided that's where you're coming from on the issue.
As you know from my Facebook flame war of today, dear LMAO

It's full of conspiracy theories, and yes it was written and produced/directed by a nutter.
My parents saw it and damn it opened my eyes to just how much bullshit the Republitards are willing to 1) shovel wholesale, regardless of integrity and B) just how much the Right in the US HATESSSS Obama in the White House. Like the t-shirt at the Romney-Ryan rally in Florida said, they want to "Put White Back In the White House."
So, from the movie, Obama's antiAmerican, or "anti-COLONIAL" because his dad's from Kenya. And he's a coke addict. And his wife said so in her memoirs. Etc.
They completely miss the fact they are hypocrites who got behind a good ol' boy GWB who did cocaine REGULARLY in his 20's and 30's...
Anyway...it's a sick sad little movie, on the order of Michael Moore in rounded-out perspective.

 Yeah, so I see. I watched the trailer and about 1 min 32 of an "interview" with the narrator on FAUX News. This is what I mean about the standard of critique of Obama - it's lowest common denominator, Billy Bob and Bubba white fright night panic. I'm sorry but the concept of Obama as a man whose only goal in politics is to lessen America's imposition of Neo-Colonialism on the world kind of sticks in my craw.

I thought it would be good, and interesting. It wasn't even interesting. It was like, this guy is building a case based upon a theory, with no facts except some things that Obama has done during his presidency, and his oddball parents. This is America, how many men have kids from several different moms, how many moms have kids from several different dads, how many successful kids grow up without a dad and don't have mental issues.... happens EVERY day. Just because he didn't have a perfect mormon family like Romney, doesn't make him a whack job. (and Obama's dad for the record had more polygamist wives than Romney's dad) ANyways, Obama isn't a very financially efficient president, and he sure isn't helping out the middle class citizens. But I don't think he's evil and wants to level America to be in line with the rest of the world.

I am not saying Obama is the best president or even a decent human being. However some of the bullshit that is perpetuated is just fucking stupid.
I think we in the US need to follow Iceland's example.

What example does Iceland have? Very droll.  But in a way they did have an example. The example set by their history and their very close connection to it. . Their Viking ancestry kicked in and they got all warriorsoul on the government's arse. They had a fucking furious population that was small enough to act cohesively to tell the useless fuckers that ran it they weren't taking any international monetary fund shit. And their economy is doing fine and their kids still have school buses. What they don't have is the kind of credit rating any more that will ever again allow an Icelandic govt to borrow trillions they cant afford to build and buy shit they don't need for people who pay no fucking taxes. So you know...props to the Vikings. |
