I think they wanted to call it "The Choom Years," but thought better of it. I wonder if, in this movie, the ghost of Barry's Uncle Frank will appear, Obi Wan Kenobi-like, to advise the young Kenyan lad from Commie Hell.

Aren't you the guy who complained about people posting negative things about "Sully" before they had seen it?

I find Oscar Bait infinitely more interesting than ticket bait

I am. But I'm not saying either of these movies is bad as cinema. Fort all I know, as movies, they could be fantastic works of cinematic art. Some people who aren't Nazis admire the films of Leni Riefenstahl. I am however making fun of the Obama Eloi. Go ahead, re-read my post. No one's looking. You can move your lips if that helps.

I don't suppose you hold the works of Dinesh D'Souza to the same standard.

You know, something isn't propaganda just because you say it is. If the Obama administration has propaganda on its mind, why would it do so through microbudget dramedies in the last four months of the administration?

If you're going to be condescending, it helps to know what you're talking about.

Haven't read D'Souza's books, just columns, so I can't comment. I gather he is generally pro-freedom, since "liberals" hate him (and by "liberals" I mean of course "tax-happy, coercion-addicted, power-tripping State fellators;" so that makes me favorably pre-disposed toward him.

Straw Man, a favorite of "liberals" along with the Tu Quoque and the Argument from Pity.
