    Has anyone here seen the documentary Obama's America: 2016 yet? If so, please give your opinions on the movie. I haven't seen it yet, but will probably attend sometime this coming week.

    Conservative documentary film '2016: Obama's America' poised to surpass Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth'

    August 31, 2012

    Just a few months ago, distributing “2016: Obama’s America” was problematic for filmmaker and journalist, Dinesh D’Souza. But now, the controversial documentary is blasting through the box office and will expand to 1725 screens across the country this weekend.

    The conservative film soared to earn $6.3 million in just 1091 screens last weekend, bringing its total earnings to over $9.2 million. In addition, it was up 423 percent from the previous week, and is rapidly climbing towards the top of the charts.

    “We’re really ramping it up to the next level, theaters are begging for the film because they know our per-screen average is the highest in the country right now. We are on-track to surpass Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and who knows, we could even reach Michael’s Moore’s ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ box office numbers,” D’Souza told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “That film had a major distributor and opened in 900 theaters, we opened in one. And we don’t have a big Hollywood studio behind us.”

    Comparatively, Moore’s famous 2004 documentary – distributed by Lionsgate – grossed $119 million domestically and remains the most successful political documentary of all-time. Gore’s film on global warming and climate change, distributed by Paramount Classics, grossed $24 million across the U.S.

    However, D’Souza said the biggest challenge with regard to the film, which seeks to show the potential negative ramifications if Obama is re-elected for a second Presidential term, is getting leading certain mainstream media outlets to pay attention to it.

    “Several outlets are still willfully ignoring the movie. Yet, if it was a Michael Moore production they would be salivating all over it,” he continued. “I’m happy to go and debate, but I think a lot of places like MSNBC are afraid to have knowledgeable opponents. There’s hesitancy in America to not support Obama, journalists stop being journalists and start being Obama protectors.”

    MSNBC did not respond to a request for comment.

    Dinesh D'Souza Expected To Plead Guilty In Campaign Finance Case

    After spending months maintaining his innocence, conservative author Dinesh D'Souza is expected to plead guilty Tuesday in connection to alleged violations of campaign finance laws, according to The New York Times.
    D'Souza was charged in January with one count of making more than $10,000 of contributions in the names of others, and one count of causing false statements. Prosecutors accused him of using straw donors to contribute $20,000 to the campaign of Wendy Long, a Republican attorney and a friend of D'Souza's who in 2012 lost to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).
    According to the Times, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan on Monday night sent out an advisory indicating that a hearing had been scheduled for Tuesday, "using language that typically indicates that a plea is expected to occur." That said, even with a deal in place, things can change at the last minute.

    I was hoping you'd ask that question. Let me put it this way.... "After spending months maintaining his innocence" Seems lying is his real occupation. Why would his film be anymore honest than he is? Good point Joe! :p

    Sorry, Little Joe, but you lose this one. The man can (and did) make a perfectly valid film. His activity outside this film had nothing to do with the film itself.

    Thank you for your opinion, too. But, I disagree with you nevertheless.
