Obama To Hire Academy Award Winning Filmmaker To Make Film About Himself

Posted on February 26, 2012 by Conservative Byte

With Hollywood gathering this weekend for the 84th Academy Awards, President Barack Obama has recruited Oscar-winning documentary director Davis Guggenheim to again produce a short film for his campaign.

Obama’s re-election staff in Chicago spent $162,834 on the film last month, according to the January Federal Election Commission filing. Currently in post-production, the film focuses on the president’s first three years in office, according to a campaign official.

The film will be less than 30 minutes long and released in weeks, though the exact date hasn’t been decided, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The campaign is still considering how it will be used, the official said.

This is just the latest involvement with Obama’s campaign for Guggenheim, who directed “Waiting for Superman,” a documentary about the U.S. education system, and won an Oscar in 2006 for “An Inconvenient Truth,” which chronicled former Vice President Al Gore’s drive to raise awareness about climate change.

    Name of it. The Non American who lied his way in to become president.

    • lynn @ cathy

      starring role: hitler and the goverment.

      • Nellie CA

        Thank you! That response is just what I saw in Obama when he was running in 08, Another Hitler, only worse! I told my cable company I didn’t want to watch Obama and cancelled them!
        He will set up the Medicare to kill our Seniors! Allow Refugees in our country with the help of Acorn his buddies! Who knows how many terrors are now here thorough the Refugee programs.
        Paid by the taxpayers! Why is Mexico allowing illegals from South American to come through our southern borders? What kind of a deal did Obama have with them? I don’t trust him!

      • Micala

        No. the stars are the “Three Stooges” – Manny, Mo and the 3rd dude. bjho hasn’t accomplished anything worthwhile to put in a documentary. Any film about him would be nothing but lies to cover up all the bad decisions and arrogant actions. I can’t believe that that man decided to do a film about the Criminal in the White House. Maybe, he’ll actually show who the real bjho really is and slip it past bho’s narcisstic eyes. Hope there is a section where bjho’s teleprompter stops and he is speechless and dumb…now that’s the REAL BHO we all know and HATE!!

        • USAF VET

          Hey now, that would be a great title for the movie, “The Criminal in the White House”. Perfect for what we have been going through for the last 3 years.

    • stillsane

      Why not Oliver Stone? After all his stupid son is just back from the Middle East after converting to the satanic cult of Islam.

    • Joanne Edmiston

      Mp Mom…how about “The Caliph taking up Space in the Oval Office” ?

    • Martha

      I think it’s supposed to be a comedy…or maybe science fiction? Either way, I will be most happy to MISS it.

  • Bippy Bellito

    My name….P.T. Barnum was right “A Sucker is Born Every Minute”……. how Obama got elected president. Are we dumb enough to do it again?

  • Luan

    with an EGO as big as HIS, why not go for a full-length feature movie, shown at primetime on every channel and broadcast to every school or college to make sure the public is indoctrinated to his ideology? (this is my 3rd attempt to post due to typing too fast…one finger at a time)

    • KlemKadiddlehopper

      That must be why I received a “posting too fast” warning…I type with TWO fingers!

      • Concerned American Citizen

        It was more likely that you posted some very obvious truth about this current administration but said them in a way that was not usual- example- you didn’t call the current president Hitler or use the tired phrases that too many folks use now. You probably used your two fingers to write accurate things that the Democrats and the Republicans do not want the folks to see if they can help it.

      • http://windstream Concerned American Citizen

        It was more likely due to your having posted facts that both of these parties Dems and Repubs do not want the folks to realize. No matter what site you post on now you are being monitored by the homeland insecurity folks. They use the excuse that they want to use the information from all post to help with Haiti after they had their bad storm. Among other lies.

    • Old State of Mainer

      I was thinking the same thing about a full length movie; not only his EGO, but he has enough money to make such a movie and have it posted on every television station and played in every theater and school day after day after day. Yet most of his dumbed down heads are already indoctrinated.

  • Joycelyn

    I can’t believe it took 30 min. to tell about Obummer’s 3 years in office. I can do it
    in 30 seconds or less…FAILED THE PEOPLE, FAILED THE UNITED STATES
    AND DID NOT KEEP HIS OATH TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
    STATES.

    • THOMAS STEWART

      Right-On Joycelyn Maybe Because He Is “Skunk” Imposter Muslim Lying Sack Of Sh t. God Bless America And Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

    Spielburg donating to him again

  • Leonard

    How a President brought down the United States of America, should be the name of the movie.

  • No fool

    Obama’s re-election staff spent $162,834 on the film … well that’s about 10 less than the Hawaii vacation. You know all of the zombies will be eager to see that film. Will they be providing barf bags?

    Davis Guggenheim will have egg on his face if the film embellishes the truth and down right lies … which it obviously will. It already sounds like Guggenheim is full of hot air from a previous film, as the climate has been continuously changing since this planet was born, billions of years ago. Duh.

    • Be12345

      He’s already proven himself to support liars by making the film An Inconvenient Truth. That was a big hoax by Al Bore on global warming (cough, cough) Wonder how much stock all the supporters of that scam have in the green companies? (That tanked on our dime)

    • NoMoBama

      He wants his Oscar like Gore.

  • Al Sharpton

    obama is not a brother. he is middle eastern descent. and the truth will come out proving he is not an American citizen as rquired by the Constitution. all a person has to do is look at his facial features, (nose, lips, eyes, cheeks & jawbones) which are not those of a black man. Put a beard on him like bin laden had and look at the resemblance in the facial features.

    • THOMAS STEWART

      Right-On Al Maybe Walt Disney Can Help With The “Big Ears” From “Dreams Of My Father” Starring Barry Soetoro As “Dumbo” God Bless America And Newt Gingrich POTUS.

  • Allyjayne

    Can you say “statue of sad dam Hussein”. Dictator. Any questions?

  • Ann Covington

    The title of that “movie” should be “The President Wore Red Shoes.” Why? He never stands still because the blood of murdered in-womb babies and forced-partially-born babies’ blood swirls all around his feet!!!

    From the time he was junior Senator in Illinois, he literally stood up and demanded that babies who survived abortions should never be called babies and should be put into an empty room to cry/starve to death because, according to him, “nobody wants them anyway.” He believes in forcing babies who are near term to be forced out of the womb, up to their necks, and allow “doctors” to stab the baby in the back of the head and suction out the brains. Perfectly healthy babies murdered, but, as Obama stated, “nobody wants them anyway.”

  • teaman

    Another Horror movie coming our way!! Plese don’t let the kids watch!!

  • David Burns

    Did President Obama defied the US Constitution, federal laws, mandates of Congress, and the general opinion of the American people?

    When he took office as President, he sworn under oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. However, Obama’s administration seems to be: bypassing congressional authority for expenditures; changing policies by presidential executive decree; and trampling the U.S. constitution.
    Recent current events seems to support this.
    Example #1: BYPASSING LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

    President Obama met with a group of Democratic governors this past Friday (24 feb 2012), and discussed plans to work around Congress toward achieving his policy goals.

    Gov. Jack Markell, the Democratic governor of Delaware and the vice chairman of the National Governors Association, said that the meeting was “very good” and many of the governors were responsive to ideas about bypassing Congress.

    “There was a sense that none of us should wait, we can’t wait for things to happen in Congress,” Markell said of the meeting. “We’re going to do what we can do [now].”

    Governors present included Govs. Jerry Brown (Calif.), Jay Nixon (Mo.), Martin O’Malley (MD), Christine Gregoire (Wash.), Bev Perdue (N.C.), Peter Shumlin (Vt.), Neil Abercrombie (Hawaii), Deval Patrick (Mass.), Pat Quinn (ILL.). and Gov. Markell.

    Example #2: BYPASSING JUDICIARY BRANCH
    Obama has decided to ignore a federal law that was passed to uphold the recognition of heterosexual marriages only.

    The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is a United States federal law that defines marriage as the legal union of one man and one woman. The law passed both houses of Congress by large majorities and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996.

    The Obama administration announced in 2011, without waiting for any review or decision by the Supreme Court as to the constitutionally of the DOMA federal law, that he was directing Attorney General Eric Holder not to have the justice department defend DOMA in any court cases or civil suits throughout the United States.

    Last week Attorney General Holder informed House Speaker Rep. John Boehner by letter that the Justice Department would not defend the Defense Department and Department of Veterans Affairs in a lawsuit filed last year intended to extend rights and benefits to married same-sex couples in the military.

    Wasn’t our government designed and created to ensure no one person or party can dictate the government and control over the people? Isn’t that why we have THREE BRANCHES of government, in order to provide CHECKS & BALANCES against such abuses of power?

    Finally, a personal note – You don’t have to agree with me on how I presented the aforementioned material BUT you should understand the two examples I presented are verifiable facts.

  • Karen

    Oh my goodness, we will get to see the narcisist in Chief in his ‘own words (i.e embellished lies)’ about how great he is. (I just threw up in my mouth)

  • DrSique

    Obviously, the only people watching this pablum will be Obamas devoted accolytes. Therefore, he is wasting his campaign money. I would much rather spend my time watching “The Walking Dead”, so as to learn how to survive in a post Obama presidency world.

    Arrogance or “hope”? I’d vote for the former.

    Thank you Oprah Winfrey and all the voting nitwits who have made this all possible. As if we have not had enough of this joker on our screens at home!

  • Scarfacesquirrel

    Great the idiot that made a movie stating that the weather changes, is now going to glorify the Narcissist in Chief, I wonder if there will be a picture of obama on a White Horse in a Shinning Suit of Armor with the big O flag in his hand? Somehow sounds familiar…

  • Richard

    I bet the ass Obama looks in the mirror every morning and says ‘Aren’t I just the prettiest thing anyone ever saw. I love me so much”…..narcissistic asshole

  • pat heilig

    How about “Son of Kong goes to the White House”?

  • EHeassler, USN-Ret.

    Maybe he could talk Disney into a remake of Pinocchio. It could feature the Obamas, Jay Carney and Robert Gibbs. Actually, there probably isn’t enough time to feature all of the liars in this administration but some cameos by Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Valerie Jarrett, Tim Geitner would probably fit in nicely. They would need wide screen for profile shots. Just thinking out loud.

  • edward e oliver

    maybe it will include a live azzazinatoin.

  • MoxieLouise

    Well that’s nice. Now he has another gift to present the Queen next time he goes to England.

    an ego that knows no bonds, movies are only made of presidents after they are dead.
    audacity of bad taste.

      We can hope can’t we?

  • Mustang

    Hell It won’t be hard to make that movie as they already have the master to work off of—-”George of the Jungle”

  • GHU

    Maybe Obama and Moochelle can have another party at the White House and run the movie for all their Marxist friends (of course taxpayers will pay for the entertainment and refreshments).

    I thought they already made a movie about Barack Hussein Obama…..wasn’t it “The Manchurian Candidate”??? :(

  • mike

    I think a good title for Obama’s new movie about himself should be titled “God Forsaken”. Or how about “Dirty Barry”. Or maybe “American Lie”. This persons ego is without bounds.

  • Ralph

    The USURPER has already under the radar approved citizenship for thousands of Mexicans and has brought 80,000 Palestinians here and yes they all get a free ride. He is going to do everything possible to get another 4 yrs. Just like he said he needed another 5 yrs to finish what he has been told to do. Yep probably the first thing he does every morning look into the mirror and says what can I do today to America. Did you know the Congressman from Mass. has ask for approval to bring 12,000 here from Ireland??? We have the lottery that brings in 12 million illegals every year and we have over 20 million Americans out of work because of this. Yep he wants to be another Hitler/Stalin. When we become another third world country he is prepared with all the fema camps and gas chambers. Bumma care has death panels to get rid of Senior Citizens. The flu shot this year has three different things mixed in it to affect your immune system to slowly kill off everyone.

    This president has and continues to commit treasonous acts against the United States Of America. There is a movement going on to destroy our Constitutional Republic and no one does anything about it.

  • Tarheel

    Stupid people with the memories of a tree stump will still vote for this fool. Conservatives should do the same, hire a good movie director and make the movie of all the stupid and unconstitutional things this man and administration has done and play it over and over right up to election.

    • amagi

      Dear Tarheel, I was thinking just that. Meantime, the title for O’s film might be
      “I, Me and Myself”.

  • Pegi

    If he’s describing all the good things he’s done, the film should have been less than 5 minutes long! Take your rose colored glasses off Mr. President and see yourself for what you really are!

  • http://AUTORECYCLINGMALLMALL.NET TOM

    TITLE COULD BE”LONG AS I GET MINES” OR “YOUR WORLD IS A GHETTO,NOT MINE”

    Mr. President , you are committing Algaecide. Madonna is going to just slip over this! What a movie this will make. You are so thoughtful with the american money. You are no different than Saddan Hussein, you destroy this country and then turn around and mock us. Right Oprah, will your everloving Barrack help you out with your penthouse? I am so ashamed of your actions Mr. President, but I remembered the devil, never sleeps, he just takes everyones soul.

    This just proves how insecure Obama is that he constantly has to shove his face before a camera.
    He is even worse than Jesse Jackson who never overlooked a photo opportunity regardless of the scams he loves to be associated with.
