"2016: Obama's America" has topped three Michael Moore films at the box office, according to Deadline Hollywood.
Conservative author Dinesh D’Souza’s “2016: Obama’s America” has surpassed three Michael Moore films at the box office, making it the second-highest-grossing political documentary, according to Deadline Hollywood.
Deadline reported that as of Saturday, “2016″ had grossed $26.2 million, beating out Moore’s “Sicko” ($24.5 million), the Oscar-winning “Bowling for Columbine ($21.5 million) and “Capitalism: A Love Story” ($14.3 million). It also topped Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” ($24.1 million). The numbers are not adjusted for inflation or higher ticket prices.
Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11,” sharply critical of President George W. Bush, still holds the No. 1 spot at $119.1 million.
D’Souza told TheBlaze last month that the liberal filmmaker served as an inspiration of sorts in the making of “2016.”
“Michael Moore made ‘Fahrenheit 9/11′ and he dropped it in the middle of the national debate,” D’Souza said. “The conditions look very similar, except we have a Democratic president, Obama, very controversial.”
Deadline noted that “2016″ has been doing well in several hotly-contested battleground states, including Florida, Ohio, Colorado and Virginia. California, New York and Texas are also among the top states contributing to the film’s box office success.

Sep. 9, 2012 at 2:16pm@MADEMYDAY, while I am open to the possibility you’re right, I believe the more important point is Barry thinks Barack senior is his dad. He took up his presumed father’s banner and had taken it into war against the United States as an institution. Both Barack senior and FDM were solid communists, so in fact the question of influence is partly moot. There is no doubt that both have had a great influence and both a greatly negative influence in his attitudes toward the USA, or more specifically the attitudes toward individualism and it’s manifestation: capitalism.

Sep. 9, 2012 at 5:18pmBelow is a link to a must see conference Dinesh did on C-SPAN last month. Anyone who can’t see the movie feel free to forward this to.them He hits topics on Obama 2016, his new book Obama’s America and much more. I watched this with relatives and Dinesh brought some of them to tears because the unimaginable truth hit them so hard (some were democrats – no longer voting for Obama) He does a long Q&A session as well. Wait until until you hear his answer on the “Anti-Christ.” A modern day Bonhoeffer?

The truth has no agenda it’s just the facts. How people feel about those facts is based on the individual viewing them. Marxist,communist,leftist radicals would view them as positive aspects of Obama.

Sep. 9, 2012 at 10:51amAffirmative action put a budding Marxist through the finest Marxist mills the U.S could offer ,the ivy league. He and his wife both gave up their law licenses to avoid jail,he became a community agitator,state senator,U.S senator for a few months then president.
All this and the public knew virtually nothing of the man,how is that possible? The ‘media’ aided the fraud who would become president,some practically campaigning for him,and unions helped him as well.No excuse this time around because after three and a half years the mask is off,he’s a Marxist.

Sep. 9, 2012 at 3:06pmStumbled upon more interesting socialist history: According to newenglishreview.org, Saul Alinsky (you remember, the “Rules for Radicals” author) considered Frank Nitti as his mentor, calling him “the Professor”. If you don’t know your early 20th century Chicago history, Frank Nitti was know as “The Enforcer”. He was second-in-command and ran the mob while his boss (Al Capone) was in prison for income tax evasion. Boy, things don’t change much in Chicago!

This is not an “anti Obama” film, it just shows who he is. Most of the film comes straight from Obama’s mouth and it scares the hell out of you. Please see this film, if you can not, Amazon has the book “Obama’s America” unmaking the American dream. It is the same as the movie , with a little more detail .It came out about 3 weeks ago, by the same author Dinesh D’ Souza. Please see the film or read the book, if you buy the book pass it on!!

There shouldn’t be any adjustment for inflation because Obama CAUSED the inflation. He gives tax payer money to Brazil for oil wells, more tax payer money to pay off his debts to those who helped spin the hype to get an unqualified, untested, unbelievably inexperienced spendaholic in office in the first place, fuel and food prices are double thanks to his crony capitalism.

Sep. 9, 2012 at 10:55amMs. Glasberg, I’ve been reading your posts for weeks before becoming a Blaze member, and I believe it would be accurate to compare your sycophantic support for anything Left to the actions of the “herders” in Nazi concentration camps. They were the last ones in the kitchen, but in they went.
You don’t have to look far to see what communists have done to “their own” once they’ve consolidated power; they were amongst the first to get their new governments attention. Most common reason? They stabbed their own in the back then, why trust them now? Media, intellectuals, farmers, and backstabbers…

Don’t bother arguing with the Left (Dora). They are not interesting in winning the argument in the arena of ideas. They are interesting in destroying us at the ballot box with their coalition of immigrants & perverts. The Right won all of the arguments years ago and that is the problem with the Right is that they think this is actually a fight of ideas. It has nothing to do with ideas, just like it didn’t in 1917 in Russia — it has to do with slitting the throat of anyone capable of thought & then controlling the mass of human waste that is left.

D’Souza claims that TARP and the federal bailout were programs that “Obama launched.” Both programs began under the Bush administration.
D’Souza claims Obama went by the name Barack to adopt his father’s “African identity,” but Obama has explicitly said his name change “was not some assertion of my African roots.”
D’Souza insists that references in Obama speeches to a “nuclear-free world” are evidence of “anti-colonialism,” but Ronald Reagan made multiple references to the same concept.
D’Souza claimed that Obama supported the release of the Lockerbie bomber because he sometimes “supports the release of terrorists who claim to be fighting wars of liberation against American aggression.” But the Obama administration formally opposed the release in an official letter from the State Department.
D’Souza claimed that Obama referred to BP as “British Petroleum” in a May 2010 speech. He never did.
