White House: ’2016′ Is Subterranean Conspiracy Theory (! LoL!)
Obama Campaign Slams ’2016: Obama’s America’ As ‘Insidious Attempt To Dishonestly Smear The President’

President Obama’s campaign has issued a response to “2016: Obama’s America,” the anti-Obama documentary directed by author Dinesh D’Souza and John Sullivan. Obama’s camp has dismissed the film as “an insidious attempt to dishonestly smear the president.”
“2016: Obama’s America” is a documentary based on the 2010 book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage,” written by D’Souza, which claims Obama’s interests lie in an anti-colonial agenda that will ultimately hinder America’s growth and progress. The film has been in the headlines since it picked up steam in the box office after a wide release on Aug. 24. To date, it is the No. 2 highest-grossing political documentary behind Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11,” earning $26 million total, according to Deadline.com.
However, despite the notable box office draw, the anti-Obama flick has been blasted by critics.
Variety called it a “cavalcade of conspiracy theories, psycho-politico conjectures and incendiary labeling” and the Los Angeles Times criticized it as “badly disguised and overly long attack ad.”
Last week, President Obama’s 2012 campaign came out with its own review posted on BarackObama.com.
“[D'Souza] attempts to hide his lies behind a pseudo-scholarly presentation and glossy production values cannot withstand basic scrutiny,” writes the Obama campaign. “The facts show that ’2016: Obama’s America’ is nothing more than an insidious attempt to dishonestly smear the President by giving intellectual cover to the worst in subterranean conspiracy theories and false, partisan attacks.”
“!LoL!” says the man who thinks that Obama is covering up the fact that he is a gay, demonic, headscarred, cocaine-addicted creature from the Bible. Subterranean indeed!
