Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Some will call this film conjecture, but for me it filled in a lot of blanks and made perfect sense. I have done a lot of reading on Barack Obama since before he was elected. (He was my senator from IL.) I always felt we were being asked to vote for a pig in a poke because really so little was known about him. He hid his grades and college records, and there were lies and changing stories about his friendships, connections, etc. If you are transparent, you don't have to lie, hide things, or change your story. Plus, unlike most candidates, there were no friends, classmates, or people in his past who came out to talk about him. Some who attended college when he did, said they didn't even know or recall him. Strange. And it didn't add up. His books told us what HE wanted us to know, but there again, it just didn't all square. So people like Jerome Corsi and others started investigating and asking questions. Then the facts really weren't squaring. The birth certificate controversy was suspicious; although I finally concluded he'd probably been born in Hawaii and not Kenya, and that his mother had neglected to change his citizenship when she sent him to live with her parents in Hawaii. But then there was the deception with what many investigators say is a doctored certificate. Why would that be? Well, if you were born in Seattle, that would require a bogus birth certificate from Hawaii. It's a fact that his mother enrolled in college two weeks after he was born. While anything is possible, it is really quite a feat for a new, single mother to take a newborn from Hawaii to Washington State, where she supposedly knows no one, has no family, to start college in two weeks. It would make more sense if she were already there, living and somewhat established, to be able to start college two weeks after the birth of a baby. And what kind of a mom (Madelyn Dunham) would even hear of her daughter doing such a thing with a newborn, without at least going along to help out for a time? Some of the things we are asked to believe are just too much of a stretch. The nude pictures of his mother and Frank's sex rebel novel certainly make it plausible that there might have been an accidental pregnancy as a result of all that fooling around. Throw in Gramps working for the CIA, and that could account for the CT SS# that was assigned to Obama two years after he worked at an ice cream store in HI. (One of the few jobs he ever held in the private sector. And he's running the U.S. economy???????). If gramps wasn't working for the government, why was he pictured in an airport photo greeting Obama, Sr. and other Kenyan students arriving for the first time in Hawaii to attend school? Did he just drop by to give them a lei? (He wasn't the type.) Why did he move the family from one place to another in search of a better job as a furniture salesman??? (Probably because he WAS a "company man" and the furniture salesman job was his cover.) There are several good books about Obama, but one of the best companion reads is, "The Communist", by Paul Kengor. For those who haven't done any reading or delving into Obama's background, this film may be a leap. For those like me who have been reading to find out the truth about this Manchurian Candidate president, this movie may answer questions, fill in some blanks, and tie things all together. Personally, I think it's not only plausible, it's pretty much on the mark.
