Obama Movie, 'The Road We've Traveled,' is Political Propaganda

[Stoney]

A group of Hollywood movers and shakers have created a 17-minute campaign ad for President Barack Obama. It is produced by Davis Guggenheim, whose credits include "An Inconvenient Truth," and is narrated by Tom Hanks. The short subject is entitled "The Road We've Traveled," and the trailer (http://youtu.be/NXtJhLUOFXE) is out. Hanks starts the narrative rolling by saying, "How do we understand this president and his time in office? Do we look at the day's headlines or do we remember what we as a country have been through?"

"Do we look at the day's headlines or do we remember what we as a country have been through?"

Aren't the daily headlines favorable to the President?

I didn't think much of this when I first saw it (the thread not the ad) but the more I think about it the more shameless it seems to me.


It is a pity that Hanks, who has contributed much to the popularization of American history on film and on TV, had lent his talents to this project. The movie will not enhance the aura of President Obama. But it will taint the reputations of everyone who is involved in its making.

I would think so too.

You sure mine and your's aren't related?

Forest Gump was on last night and we loved the movie. My wife said she didn't want to see Tom Hanks.

[Captain Obvious]

Yeah, what a crock of fucking shit.

I see that Tom Hanks narrated this gem. Makes sense now that they're digging up dirt on him, that whole black-faced fund raiser thing that hit the radar.

What a shit political system we have.
