"If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?" Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to Americas ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The film is a sleepy dud, a polemic that, like D'Souza himself, is at once both outrageous and deeply boring.

rotten:
The movie seems destined to irritate the president's supporters while mobilizing his detractors, even as it is doomed to win precious few converts. It's a textbook example of preaching to the choir.

rotten:
No one doubts that the country faces major challenges in the next four years, but there is one safe bet: The future is unlikely to be affected by this simplistic documentary.

Viewers may do some headscratching. This can be a very strange movie.

Every anti-Obama argument D'Souza makes from the right could be made, more forcefully, from the left.
