Inside the Beltway: Choosing the dream
Inside the Beltway: Choosing the dream - Washington Times
Can Americans discern between the dreams of President Obama and those of the Founding Fathers? The makers of the upcoming documentary film 2016: Obamas America hope so. Ive got a strong desire to defend against the changes in our culture, our life, our laws, our freedom. We now have someone in office who has professed a desire for change, and this has disturbed me, producer Gerald R. Molen tells Inside the Beltway.
Mr. Molen, 77, is the Hollywood heavyweight and Oscar-winning producer behind Schindlers List, Rain Man,and Jurassic Park among many other blockbusters. But he prefers life in Montana to that in Tinseltown, and as a former U.S. Marine, he has a strong memory of a traditional, cheerful, can-do America. Hes also not too keen on Mr. Obamas penchant to go around Congress, among other things.
We dont have an imperial presidency. Hes not the king, Mr. Molen says.
Above all, he hopes the film will jar a passive audience with proof of the political and cultural change that may not be for the better in the long run.
I hope people find out that its time to do their own research, get involved and ask this question: What kind of country do we want? the producer says, predicting that public reaction to the project will come alive once the film is released nationwide July 27. The documentary itself is based on conservative author Dinesh D'Souzas best-seller The Roots of Obamas Rage, published last year.
