FG:

"But also, the point of the Ex-Im loans, which were approved by Bush officials, is that they finance our exports. We lend foreigners money to buy our stuff and create jobs here. We do it all the time.

Oh yeah, and “Ex-Im Bank does not make U.S. policy. In fact, our charter prohibits us from turning down financing for either nonfinancial or noncommercial reasons, except in rare circumstances including failure to meet our environmental standards.” That’s the Ex-Im Bank president writing last year in response to the fact-twisting Wall Street Journal editorial D’Souza cites.

"I haven't heard of anything in the documentary being proven false yet have you? Did anything you saw/heard cause you concern about the president. "

"He whacks Obama for "blocking" the Keystone pipeline (not true) while loaning "billions of dollars" to Brazil to pursue offshore drilling (also not true). There's a bit of Glenn Beck-inspired paranoia as snaking thorns of red, black, and green encircle the Middle East and North Africa, forming the new "United States of Islam." This in turn leads to fearmongering about Iran's nuclear ambitions, and attacks on Obama for a) doing "nothing" to impede Iran's nuclear progress (not exactly true), and b) seeking to reduce nuclear stockpiles globally.

Here's where D'Souza's Reagan boosting comes back to bite him. The documentary attacks Obama for signing the New START Treaty with Russia, which calls for steep reductions in both countries' nuclear stockpiles, and mocks the president for his vision of a world free of nuclear weapons. "Dreamy idea," D'Souza quips, sparing no sarcasm. Unmentioned is the fact that the abolition of nuclear weapons was also the stated dream of... Ronald Reagan, who first proposed the original START Treaty with the Soviet Union. As Reagan told the nation in a January 1984 speech: "My dream is to see the day when nuclear weapons will be banished from the face of the Earth."

Just a FEW items for your perusal FG............

" alladat1 - The usual trolls on display here - this is like the Sunnis and Shiites without the guns."

It's a comment section DUH........... people are emotional about the issues. Go read the bible if you find this too offensive.

Do a general search on the movie and read the first two dozen reviews.........

The only people seeing the movie are the limbaugh admirers - the ones that thrive on hate and fear.
