Barack Obama's campaign team attacks unflattering documentary The President's team responded with an online post on Wednesday, using evidence from various news sources to attack D'Souza's work. Quoting Bloomberg, the post argued that "D'Souza employs "pseudo-scholarly leaps of logic" to invent an imaginary character who has inherited "anti-colonial," "Third World" views from his father - whom he last saw when he was 10 years old." The post also argued that D'Souza has a previous record of mendacious smear campaigns. That his writings and film are based on lies should not come as a surprise to anyone given D'Souza's long history of attempting to add a veneer of intellectual respectability to fringe theories, conspiratorial fear-mongering, and flat-out falsehoods. "The facts show that 2016: Obama's America is nothing more than an insidious attempt to dishonestly smear the President by giving intellectual cover to the worst in subterranean conspiracy theories and false, partisan attacks," the post added. D'Souza has responded in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. He calls the post by the US President's campaign team "one of the most bizarre, clumsy and ineffective attacks I have seen in politics," adding "there are no errors in the film." President Obama, 51, is currently campaigning against Republican Mitt Romney to be re-elected in the 2012 US Presidential Election. A UK release of 2016: Obama's America is not currently scheduled.
