The Roo, The Stump and I went yesterday to see the movie that opened at #1 when it was released, "2016: Obama's America".
It was more than a little disturbing; it chronicled the journey, if you will, of young Barack Obama from his birth to the present day while providing background as to what makes him "the one".
Using words from Obama's own reading of his book, and interviews with many of his relatives, friends and analysts, several things become apparent, among them just why he wants to be president so badly.
As most young kids do, he idolized his father, who abandoned him at an early age; (he was a bigamist with Obama's mother) and seemed to have no interest beyond himself. It wasn't until teen Barack's older sister explained the real facts behind his father that his world seemed to come tumbling down around his ears.
It seems that his disappointment with the treatment by his father, whom he saw only once, about age 10, propelled the young man into the sphere where he resides today: a world where he can make up for the short-comings of his father, and show that world that he is able to succeed regardless of the jumbled past from which he comes.
Trying to emulate the anti-colonial beliefs of his father, he surrounds himself with others of like mind: Rev. Jeramiah Wright, Bill Ayers, and many other lesser known socialists in order to further his education and to help formulate strategy to define what he truly believes.
The actions of a President Obama parrot the lines laid down by anti-colonialist scholars from around the world: slower-developing nations must be made better, or the United States must be pulled down to that level in order that the US as we know it, will disappear, replaced by just another country among a world of nations. Obama foresees a world with no super powers.
His strategy is to accomplish this by three main means: High taxes from Americans to distribute to those countries and factions he deems to be worthy, destruction of America's military superiority (5,000 nuclear weapons cut back to 300, even in light of middle eastern production increases of the same weaponry) and solidifying the Muslim community around the world, actually grouping them throughout the middle east and Africa, using NASA as a prime missionary.
These bold moves have already been made. The extent of their reach and sucess is really up to the American electorate in 2012; accept the conclusions of "2016" or choose another path.
The movie ends with the well-distributed poster: "Love him or hate him. You Don't know him." changed to read "Now you know him." The impact of that statement is quite clear.
Revelations found in "2016" paint a very clear picture of a man who has made it his life's work to keep any real knowledge of his background from all but the closest to him.
