Anti-Obama Film On the Way

[goldcanyonaz]

A conservative group -– Citizens United -– that has produced a film now in distribution attacking Hillary Clinton called “Hillary, the Movie,” has its sights set on a new target: Barack Obama.

The group has budgeted about $1 million to produce a documentary film about Mr. Obama that is set to be distributed this summer. At the moment, Citizens United has its researchers pouring over Mr. Obama’s records as a community organizer, state legislator and United States senator in the same way that it scoured Mrs. Clinton’s record with a highly critical eye and a sharply conservative point of view.

“Obama is a completely clean slate,” said David Bossie, president of the group. “We will develop the image that we want the people to see. We’re doing the hard work of the research right now. The American people don’t know much about Obama, except that they like his speaking style.”

If the Obama movie is anything like the one about Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama had better prepare himself. “Hillary, the Movie,” and promotional ads for it, present statements from Dick Morris, Ann Coulter, Robert Novak, Jeff Gerth (a former New York Times reporter), Newt Gingrich and others in which she is called everything from a liar, to a European socialist to being more devious than Richard Nixon.

1. And with a line-up of "commentators" like that, did anyone take the Hillary film even remotely

...seriously? I mean, among people who were going to vote for her?

WASHINGTON (AP) — A conservative group must abide by campaign finance laws if it wants to run advertisements promoting its anti-Hillary Rodham Clinton movie, a federal court ruled Tuesday.


The same would apply to the Obama movie.

3. What's wrong with being a European socialist?

From what I can see, most European countries have their act together much more so than America does.

7. I'm sure it will be every bit as successful

as Hillary the movie. I don't think more than 10 people ever saw that thing and I don't see any more wasting their time on this.

David Bossie needs to get a real job.

8. That is why I asked people to start looking @ Obama's flaws...because then

shit like the content in the movie won't be a surprise.

11. A whole $1 million in production money. Wow. Not.

Of course the mainstream media will give it some attention but on the whole this is going to be a lot like a freeper protest - one or two portapotties and three people.
