2016: O'BAMA'S AMERICA DOCUMENTARY

The documentary begins with D'Souza describing his own experiences as an Indian-American that immigrated to the United States to attend Darmouth College.  He became the editor of their conservative magazine, Policy Review. 

In the beginning of the film, he points out the similarities between him and O'Bama, such as being raised in a very similar situation, being born in the same year, married in the same year, etc.

O'Bama's father, who was black and from Kenya, Africa, came to America on a scholarship to Harvard and met and married O'Bama's mother, who was white, although he was already married to someone back in Kenya.  After a few years, Barack, Sr. abandoned O'Bama and his mother and returned to Africa.  He married several other women, had other children by them, and became an alcoholic who died in a car accident after leaving a bar at 1:30 AM in Kenya.

O'Bama's mother, Ann Dunham, always held his father in high esteem.  Whether she believed in him or she was just being kind; trying to make Barry O'Bama feel better because he had abandoned both of them.  After her divorce, she married O'Bama's stepfather Lolo Soetoro.

They moved to Indonesia, where O'Bama spent several years.  Lolo Soetoro was in favor of American ways.  This created some problems in his marriage to Ann.  The marriage became strained and Barry O'Bama is sent to Hawaii to live with his grandparents when he was approximately 10 years old.  His grandfather sought out a mentor for Barry O'Bama.  The mentor's name was Frank Marshall Davis, a card carrying communist that was on the FBI list.  What does this say about O'Bama's grandfather and his viewpoint regarding America?  Davis mentored O'Bama for eight years until Barry went off to college at Columbia.

A psychologist discusses the detrimental and potential effect of an absentee father on O'Bama.  This comes through clearly in O'Bama's own book:  Dreams From My Father.  The film includes some quotes from this book, spoken by O'Bama himself.  The 2016 film suggests that Barry has been radically impacted by this abandonment and has been searching for acceptance all of his life.  His father died in 1982 and O'Bama felt the need to go to his gravesite to resolve his issues regarding abandonment.

Remember, Barry O'Bama was mentored for eight years by a communist and when he gets to Columbia, he is further influenced by anti-colonialist figures.  D'Souza discusses how Barack O'Bama, Sr. was anti-colonialist, and probably for good reason, and feels this explains why O'Bama rejects American capitalism.

A friend of Barack, Sr., in Kenya, explained that the British Empire was viewed as an evil empire because they raped the third-world countries of their wealth, natural resources, and sold them to other countries.  They resold the goods back to the people in Kenya, and other countries, at a very high price.
 
D'Souza believes that O'Bama's father and mother have shaped his basic philosophy; that America is similar to the British Empire.  That is probably why he is so adamant about taxing the rich and stopping oil drilling in the USA.  Oil is one of our richest natural resources.  D'Souza feels that O'Bama is attempting to reshape America.

D'Souza delves into the philosophies of the men he feels has shaped O'Bama's goal for America.  These men include Frank Marshall Davis, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Edward Said, Robwerto Unger.  All of these men are either anti-colonialist, communistic or socialistic minded, and are anti-American.

Anti-Colonialism arose due to the horrors imposed by the British Empire.  Barack, Sr. was impacted by the British Empire; creating a hatred that he passed down to Barack O'Bama.  As a result, D'Souza feels that President Obama wants to significantly reduce the U.S.'s influence within the world.  At the same time, he wants to to increase the influence of nations that suffered economically and/or militarily due to America's domination of the world.. To argue his case, D’Souza interviews other significant people to back up his theory.  O'Bama, while he hypocritically lives the high-life, appears to want America to fail as a world-leader.  This would full-fill the dreams of his father.

The film ends with a warning that if Obama is elected to a second term, the ramifications will be far reaching. It ends by stating, "The future is in your hands."

Everyone who wants the old America to return to its former glory needs to see this film.  I have only given a brief review of some highlights of O'Bama's past.  His father's past is driving our future.
