My wife and I went to see 2016. It was a chilling documentary of Obama’s personal history. Nearly everything presented in the film, with the exception of some commentary, is based on well documented facts. The author believes that Obama is anti-colonial and that he wants to destroy the United States. I am not sure he proved that, because it is always hard to prove motive. However, it is clear that whether Obama is making decisions because of malice, or mere incompetence, the end result is the same.

Obama’s personal history is beyond disturbing. It is full of left-wing, anti-American radicals. The one thing shared in common by many of his closest friends is vocal hatred of the United States. Obama admitted in his book that he sought out the most radical Marxist professors. I strongly believe that if the average American learned the truth about Obama’s personal history that he would become unelectable.

I am sure that most people who attend this film are already convinced that Obama must go. I am equally sure that those people who support Obama will just ignore it.

Perhaps more important was the documentary on Mitt Romney run on CNN last night. It was stunningly good. Romney helped himself a lot. He looks very real and very American. It was a remarkable contrast with Obama’s personal history. CNN had no problem finding friends of Mitt Romney more than willing to talk about him.

Next week CNN will run a similar documentary on Obama. I can pretty much guarantee that they won’t ask Obama any of the difficult questions. Although they reminded viewers about 30 times a minute that Romney is a Mormon, I suspect there will be almost no mention of Obama’s religious beliefs. It will be stunning if there is mention of Williams Ayers, or Reverend Wright, or Anthony Rizzo and almost no chance of bringing up Frank Marshall Davis. The bias will shine on through. But it won’t matter. In spite of their best efforts, Mitt Romney comes across as a decent human being who genuinely cares about people. Perhaps CNN wanted to hurt Romney by constantly reminding us that he is a Mormon, but instead they actually made the Mormon religion seem very non-threatening. I think CNN really helped Mitt Romney, regardless of what they intended.

If CNN had run a documentary like this on Obama in 2008, John McCain would be President of the United States. Even if they run a documentary like this next week, instead of the expected puff piece, he will suffer a devastating defeat. I doubt that they will come close to doing that, but I still think the contrast will be there for everyone to see. Smoke and mirrors only go so far.
