This morning Dinesh D’Souza went on CNN to defend his new movie “2016 Obama’s America” and got some interesting questions. One of the questions was based on MAJOR spin by CNN to challenge D’Souza’s claim that Obama wants to put America deeper in debt. Here’s the info graphic CNN put up during the interview to give ‘perspective’ to Obama’s increase of the national debt:

This graphic completely distorts the truth behind Obama’s unprecedented spending. That CNN would even put these numbers together is shameful. Fortunately D’Souza was there to set the record straight. But just for the record, here is Obama’s budget deficits vs Bush’s budget deficits, which backs up what D’Souza says in the interview:

I also loved how D’Souza didn’t accept the premise of the last question which tried to frame his argument that Obama was elected because he was black as ‘shallow’.

Watch the full interview below:

Listening to this nut bag Dinesh talking about such nonsenical hogwash just makes me want to puke to think that so many people in this country are so stupid. Seriously are you all nuts???

On the debt crises CNN and Dinesh forget to state that the spending that is going on is NOT on many NEW Obama projects. Other than the Stimulus Bill most of the spending centers around unemployment checks, the wars, senior drug donut hole, and lack of collected revenue due to the Bush and Obama tax cuts, and not mention again high unemployment. Check it out for yourself.

Another thing exactly what spending bills were passed these 3.75 years that drives these deficits? Not much!! Cutting spending will just increase unemployment which will increase unemployment check payouts and more uncollected revenue.

Tax cuts for the rich will also decrease revenue with very few jobs created. Very few since it's NOT the taxes and regulations that drives unemployment up despite all the business whining about market uncertainty. What drives unemployment up is all the outsourcing done to avert the high American wages that is the result of our high cost and standard of living. BTW if CEOs told the truth that they offloaded our jobs due to high American wages their stocks would drop like a rock.

Listen a vote for the right means a vote for a depression. Friedman trickle down economics is dead and if we follow in that vein so will go America.

You idiots don't know anything about the deficit and debt.

you act like Bush ended his presidency with a balanced budget, rather than losing 1.2 trillion per year.

My wife and I went to see OBAMA 2016 yesterday and came away very worried about the future of our country. I have 2 sons that have fought for our UNITED STATES OF AMERICA one fought in Desert Storm and the other has spent his first tour of duty in AFGHANISTAN. I just hope that the people of these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA wake up and vote for a different path to travel.

C'mon Obama 2016 is so full of made up crap. Bill Maher had the producer on his show and blew him right off the stage with all his nonsense.

If you’re worried about you sons fighting in the war then vote for Obama to get them home otherwise expect more futile fighting under Romney for people who hate our guts.

Wake up Obama is our only hope on fixing our economy. You cannot create jobs without spending pure Keynesian economics. Reagan knew that as did all past successful presidents. Tax cuts for the rich will just decrease revenue with very few jobs created. Very few since it's NOT the taxes and regulations that drives unemployment up despite all the business whining. What drives unemployment up is all the outsourcing done to avert the high American wages that is the result of our high cost and standard of living.

A vote for the right is a vote for a depression.

I wish more would stress the fact that Pelosi ran the House

Lol, they try to make it look as if Bush and Reagan created more debt than Obama. I fell off my chair laughing so hard. Ok, I didn't, but that's how laughable this is.

D'Souza was ready with the right answer. "It depends on the base". He explained it a little but I don't think the libtards have a clue what he's talking about. It does not mean that Bush and Reagan spent more money than Obama. I can see what kind of mess this election is going to be with all the voodoo math the left is going to use to lie about Obama's accomplishments.

The lamestream medias only defense is to lie about Obama just like Obama lies all the time. Now I just heard an Islamic Muslim is leading the prayers at the Democratic convention. How low can you go?

I must say I was very impressed by how D'Souza handled himself in that interview; he didn't let anything slip past him.

That's not to say I like D'Souza though. He's pretty bad on anti-jihadism/islamism. Robert Spencer rips the crap out of him for that on a regular basis.

Hansome

Why can't D'Souza just let his film stand on its merits, instead of running around with a beggar's bowl to all these liberal hacks? If the film is worth seeing, word will get out, and people will go & buy a ticket, or wait for the DVD.

D'Souza climbs willingly into the lion's den. Brave man. Nice of that Commie News Network broad to try and almost hold back her disgust of anyone's criticism of the Annointed One. Or maybe she was just uncomfortable talking to (whisper) one of them. (end whisper)

Brilliant. Dinesh did not fall into any of the traps laid down by CNN reporter. He is amazing. He tells the truth without bias. No one can claim racism on this. Our country truly wanted a man in office to heal the wounds of racism, but instead we got someone who further divides us. Such a shame.

yeah, they don't have the "time". Truth is they don't have the brains. Home Run Dinesh, both this interview and the movie. I'm as right wing as you can get and I'll take as many immigrants like you as we can find around the globe. Talk about someone adding to our nation. Good God. He is a young man and he has done more in a short time to benefit our nation than many people do their entire lives. My hat is off to you, fine sir!

I don't feel badly about our country's racial history. My family probably owned slaves. We don't do that anymore.

Did you know we were still killing Indians 55 years after the slaves were free?

Slavery ended 149 years ago. We stopped killing Indians 94 years ago.

I think we can all stop feeling guilty now.

Terrenceor

What do you mean we? Slavery ended in the North in the mid to late 1700's. Slavery was in direct conflict with our founding document, The Declaration of Independence. A Compromise was struck to bring the Southern Colonies into the Union, but efforts to end slavery were introduced during the first seating of Congress until 1860.

The Democratic Party was the party of slavery and the party of ethnic cleansing of the indians in the South by the founder of the modern Democratic Party who is celebrated every year at Jefferson/Jackson dinners around the country, Andrew Jackson.

People believe it. There's a chart going around facebook that shows Obama lowering the deficit by 100 billion- amongst other obvious lies. It's not even close to true, but people believe it. There are a lot of uninformed morons out there. In thinking about it, I have to agree with Rush. We can survive another 4 years of Obama. It's his voters we can't survive.

How many people noticed CNN's despicable technique of video splitting. Twice when Dinesh was making a point, CNN went to a split screen distracting the viewer from D'Souza's comments. When Dinesh was done talking CNN took the Obama split video away. CNN did this twice...once at 3:24 with a clip of Obama from Nov 5 2008, and then again at 4:59.

This interview is considered a negative Obama interview...so, if CNN can bring in old video of Obama, they distract the viewer in favor of a smiling obama and positive picture.

CNN is right behind MSNBC in being considered the worst cable news outlets, and their rating prove it!

The guy is brilliant. Read "Illiberal Education" in college, and it was one of the books that guided me towards conservatism.

That CNN anchor had no idea what she was getting into by going with her DNC talking points.

His "Letters to a Young Conservative" was the best conservative book I've read. I also don't even remember buying it, or why I bought it. It just happened to stand out, and it was the first time I had read conservatism explained. I've read that book more times than any other book.

I've read a lot of conservative books, but I think the reason this guy stands out is because he makes everything relatable (uses a lot of analogies to explain things) and unlike many other conservative books which read like a legal brief, D'souza tells a story and gets you wrapped into his writing.

The most shocking item in the film was that 2/3 of our nuclear arms are gone.

Negotiated away. And what was that whisper to the Russian's on open mic?

More flexibility ? I don't think so. R&R 2012!

In Obama's own voice he says, "One of the TRICKS I learned..."

One disagreement, Dinesh: I, and many other Americans, I suspect--would find, and did find it quite despicable--that people voted for Obama to make themselves feel better. That's no way to elect the leader of the free world. (As bright as you are, how do you not come to the same conclusion?)

Cheryl Fallon

He explains that at the end of this clip! Deep down inside MOST Americans probably do want to show that they are not biased or prejudice and gave this guy a HUGE PASS-hoping perhaps for the best! Unfortunately for America he is not good for our country or our Constitution!

Dinesh D’Souza is brilliant. He made that person from CNN look like a fool and shot down every one of her assertions. This documentary could be the "Swiftboat" documentary of the 2012 election. It certainly is popular and it will remain so for at least a month to come. That can do a lot of damage to the Obama campaign, and rightfully so, given what a pathetic and duplicitous president Obama has been.
