Very Important... Before you VOTE in November... (55)
Dont worry, if Obama gets Re elected, then all his followers will become the subject of the worst of the worst. I know people who were DEMS and are refusing to vote for him. If you dont know why Obama is in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood and the likes, really have no clue as to the freedoms they are about to lose! 2016 is the MOVIE that is too educated for any Obama follower... ;)

Obama Campaign Slams '2016: Obama's America' As 'Insidious Attempt To Dishonestly Smear The President'
Variety called it a “cavalcade of conspiracy theories, psycho-politico conjectures and incendiary labeling” and the Los Angeles Times criticized it as “badly disguised and overly long attack ad.”
Last week, President Obama's 2012 campaign came out with its own review posted on BarackObama.com.
" attempts to hide his lies behind a pseudo-scholarly presentation and glossy production values cannot withstand basic scrutiny," writes the Obama campaign. "The facts show that '2016: Obama’s America' is nothing more than an insidious attempt to dishonestly smear the President by giving intellectual cover to the worst in subterranean conspiracy theories and false, partisan attacks."
The campaign also outlined exactly where the movie muddled the facts, including:
· D’Souza falsely claimed that President Obama said he didn’t believe in American exceptionalism—when in fact the President has repeatedly praised America’s exceptional identity and core values.
· D’Souza falsely asserted that President Obama funded2 billion in Brazilian oil exploration even though numerous fact checkers and reporters have noted that President Obama had “nothing to do with the loan.”
· D’Souza falsely charged that President Obama backed Scotland’s release of the Lockerbie bomber only weeks after the Obama administration had put out a statement opposing Scotland’s decision to return Abdelbaset al-Megrahi to Libya and sent a letter to the Scottish government raising the administration’s strong objection.
· D’Souza even claimed that President Obama passed the bank bailouts when the facts clearly show that it was President Bush who signed the Troubled Asset Relief Program into law in October 2008.

There were two TARP bailouts. One under Bush and one under Obama.

So you know for a fact that Woebama's half-bro. was lying in the movie 2016? Wobama's half-bro thinks his brothers and their father's ideology is out there and counter-productive to a successful economy to make things right in the world for his perceptions of America's past injustices.... like standing up to Japan, instead of asking their forgiveness when they bombed pearl harbor.

TTom50: There were two TARP bailouts. One under Bush and one under Obama.
Would you mind providing a link which shows 2 T.A.R.P. programs? I just did a google search and I can only find 1.from wiki:
"The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is a program of the United States government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial sector that was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008. It was a component of the government's measures in 2008 to address the subprime mortgage crisis.
The TARP program originally authorized expenditures of $700 billion. The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act reduced the amount authorized to $475 billion. By March 28, 2012, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated that total disbursements would be $431 billion and estimated the total cost, including grants for mortgage programs that have not yet been made, would be $32 billion. This is significantly less than the taxpayers' cost of the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s but does not include the cost of other "bailout" programs (such as the Federal Reserve's Maiden Lane Transactions and the Federal takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). The cost of the former crisis amounted to 3.2 percent of GDP during the Reagan/Bush era, while the GDP percentage of the latter crisis' cost is estimated at less than 1 percent. While it was once feared the government would be holding companies like GM, AIG and Citigroup for several years, those companies are preparing to buy back the Treasury's stake and emerge from TARP within a year. Of the $245 billion handed to U.S. and foreign banks, over $169 billion has been paid back, including $13.7 billion in dividends, interest and other income, along with $4 billion in warrant proceeds as of April 2010. AIG is considered "on track" to pay back $51 billion from divestitures of two units and another $32 billion in securities."

Second Half of TARP
After Senator Obama won the 2008 Presidential election, he asked President Bush to request the second half of the TARP funds to be allocated to TARP. In making the request, he stated that the economy was still too frail and that it would be irresponsible to enter office without having all the tools he needed to address the problem.
Of the funds issued by President Bush, a vast majority went to the Capital Purchase Program and the Targeted Investment Program. A vast majority of that money has been repaid by the financial institutions that received them. The loan to GM was repaid, but some money from the GM bailout remains.
Of the funds issued by President Obama, almost none of them have been issued to the programs originally designed through TARP. Most of the funds issued by President Obama have gone to home ownership programs and the bailout of GM through stock purchases. As seem in the chart below, almost 90% of the funds issued by President Bush have been returned while less than 10% of the money issued by President Obama has been returned.

Why D’Souza’s Anti-Obama Film ’2016' is Delusional Right Wing Crap
Dinesh Sharma is a cultural psychologist, marketing consultant and an acclaimed author, with a doctorate from Harvard University. He is a senior fellow at Institute for International and Cross-Cultural Research, St Francis College, NYC, and a columnist for Asia Times Online.
His biography of the 44th President of the US, titled “Barack Obama in Hawaii and Indonesia: The Making of a Global President” (Praeger, 2011), was rated as the Top 10 Books of Black History for 2012 by Book List Online, American Library Association. He was invited by Democrats Abroad (DNC) to lecture on the book in ten different European cities, including Paris, Rome, London, Luxembourg, Brussels etc.

9/11 and Pearl Harbor Attacks: In another blatantly biased claim D’Souza states that the annexation of Hawaii in 1959 was primarily driven by colonization of the natives, which causes resentments even today, while making not a single mention of the fact that native Hawaiians, unlike the mainland US, welcomed newcomers to the islands and married them. Thus, the interracial marriage rates in Hawaii have always been high. The sacrifices of Hawaiians in WW-II in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attacks and prior to the annexation are completely missing from this distorted film.
Similarly, D’Souza fails to mention that Obama’s maternal grandfather’s service (Stanley Armour Dunham) in the war also deeply ties Obama to Hawaiian soil and to the memory of the Pearl Harbor attacks, the only other instance when America has been attacked at home prior to September 11, 2011. Why does D’Souza not include any suggestion of these important historical turning points in American life that directly intersect with Obama’s biography? Because he wants you to believe that Obama is not really cut from the same American cloth as other presidents.

New poll shows Obama with widening lead in Ohio, Florida
A day after Washington Post polls showed President Obama with an eight-point lead over Mitt Romney in Ohio and a four-point lead in Florida, a New York Times/CBS/Quinnipiac University poll shows an even bigger margin for the president in those two states.
Here’s CBS’s summary of the takeaways from the Ohio poll:
Mr. Obama holds a 10-point lead in Ohio among those who say they will definitely vote, a lead propelled by a 25-point advantage among women. Romney holds an 8-point lead among men. The president holds a 35-point edge among voters under 35 years old, and a 5-point lead among those ages 35-64; the two candidates are effectively tied among Ohio seniors. Sixty-two percent of Ohio likely voters say the auto bailout, which had a significant impact on the state’s economy, was a success, while just 30 percent say it was a failure.
The Florida poll showed a 53 percent to 44 percent lead for Obama in Florida.

First debate Question. Why do you want to be President,
President Obama: I want to screw up america's economy more, to make it a 2nd rate country and to assemble all muslims to dominate the world and to bring the murderers of americans in libya to justice
President wanna-be: I want to lead this country back to prosperity, shape world affairs, eradicate wobamacare and otherwise get the government off everyone's back.
Don't know what's going on in Cleveland but both, I and most of prospering Franklin county are going for the latter.

And the problems we have, have been 30 years in the making, because of supply side , trickle down economics. Stop thinking that Obama caused this mess. He's doing well under the circumstances. These so called job creators have gotten huge tax breaks under the guise of job creation. We should be inundated with jobs. Obviously that has not worked. The Bush tax cut broke our backs. Mit wants to continue these failed policies.

Now that's just silly, Dadude. I'm sure you like thinking you can attribute this recession to something as simple as "trickle down economics," or the Bush Tax cuts (with both sides want to keep), but you are wrong. The fact is there were far more specific things which led to both collapses - and the Democratic party is every bit at much at fault IF NOT MORE for not preventing it.
Work with the facts, will ya?
The 2008 recession was caused by our irrational exuberance in the housing market (fueled by Jimmy Carter's Community Reinvestment Act), which led many people to buy houses they couldn't afford, because everyone thought housing prices could only go up.
"In 2006, the bubble burst as housing prices started to decline. This caught many homeowners off guard, who had taken loans with little money down. As they realized they would lose money by selling the house for less than their mortgage, they foreclosed. An escalating foreclosure rate panicked many banks and hedge funds, who had bought mortgage-backed securities on the secondary market and now realized they were facing huge losses.
By August 2007, banks became afraid to lend to each other because they didn't want these toxic loans as collateral. This led to the $700 billion bailout, and bankruptcies or government nationalization of Bear Stearns, AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, IndyMac Bank, and Washington Mutual. By December 2008, employment was declining faster than in the 2001 recession.
The recession of 2001 was caused much more by the irrational exuberance in high tech than anything else.
"In 1999, there was a economic boom in computer and software sales caused by the Y2K scare. Many companies and individuals bought new computer systems to make sure their software was Y2K compliant. This meant that the operating code would be able to understand the difference between 2000 and 1900, since many fields within that code only had two spaces, not the four needed to fully differentiate the two dates. As a result, the stock price of many high tech companies started to increase. This led to a lot of investors' money going to any kind of high tech company, whether they were showing profits or not. The exuberance for dot.com companies became irrational.
It became apparent in January 2000 that computer orders were going to decline, since the shelf life of most computers is about two years, and companies had just bought all the equipment they would need. This led to a stock-market sell-off in March 2000. As stock prices declined, so did the value of the dot.com companies, and many went bankrupt.

About 2016: Obama’s America
2016 Obama's America takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world’s most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?"
Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America’s ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world.
Immersed in exotic locales across four continents, best selling author Dinesh D’Souza races against time to find answers to Obama’s past and reveal where America will be in 2016. During this journey he discovers how Hope and Change became radically misunderstood, and identifies new flashpoints for hot wars in mankind’s greatest struggle. The journey moves quickly over the arc of the old colonial empires, into America’s empire of liberty, and we see the unfolding realignment of nations and the shape of the global future.
Emotionally engaging, 2016 Obama’s America will make you confounded and cheer as you discover the mysteries and answers to your greatest aspirations and worst fears.
Love him or hate him, you don’t know him.
