Has anyone seen the ads for a new political film on Obama called "2016"?

I've seen the trailer run on MSNBC "Morning Joe" commercials and it looks like a hit piece.

The narrator is D'nesh D'Souza, who, apparently, has gone "around the world" interviewing

people who know, and or are related to, President Obama.

Why I feel it's a hit piece, is that D'Souza is a known conservative and

it ends up with a large picture of Obama with a voice over saying:

"Obama: You may love him or hate him, but you don't KNOW him"!

Same old "Who's the Kenyan"?, birther type bullshit we've come to know and hate.

It's scary and creepy, though, so close to the election and it's reminiscent of another

conservative hit piece about Hillary (I forget the title) which threatened to open

just before the LAST presidential election, but was ruled against by a judge who objected to

it on the grounds of it being too close to the election.
