WATCH TRAILER
As the poster above says, "LOVE HIM / HATE HIM - YOU DON'T KNOW HIM".
In spite of the prediction by Variety that 2016 would vanish without a trace, the documentary about President Obama is by the latest count No. 3 at the box office, running in 1,800 theaters nationwide. It is on track to overtake Al Gore and several Michael Moore movies. Other, cruder epithets have also been thrown at 2016, but no one has been able to challenge the facts of the documentary. “Choir preaching” is in fact the criticism most reviewers from The Washington Post to The Philadelphia Inquirer have leveled at 2016.
So ... how are ya feelin' about that "hopey changey" stuff now. Probably still not willing to at least look at some facts and consider what the future might look like if "2016" is right, huh? The trouble is, What if you're wrong?

If the film 2016: Obama’s America preaches to the choir—as critical reviews of the movie contend—then the choir of Americans curious about Barack Obama is indeed a large one.

Depending on whether you love him or hate him it's unlikely you'll change your mind after seeing the documentary. Most folks, particularly the "hopey changey" ones, don't like to admit to anyone that there's any possibility they may have been wrong and presenting them with facts and logic isn't going to change their views. That was the problem back in 2008 too. They didn't like Bush or his policies and it was "get even time" for the results of the 2004 election. Vetting Obama was unnecessary and irrelevant.
The trouble is, it hasn't panned out quite the way they bargained for. America's unemployment continues above 8%, we're no closer to energy independence now then when Obama took office yet he shovels taxpayer dollars at other countries with encouragement to "drill baby - drill"; "we'll be your best customer". Doesn't sound very "green" to me. Our military and weapons systems are at historical lows and headed lower if you can believe what he told Medvedev and our national debt just passed north of 16 trillion [that's with a T] and no limit in sight. Judging from his political appointments, the actions of the Dept. of Justice, his assault on the states in the courts and his disregard for our Constitution, it's pretty clear he has in mind to deliver on the change he promised if given the opportunity.
