I didn't see it... but here's a little bit on how some persons see the movie:
2016: Obama's America: Reception

Some quotes (subjectively) taken from it:

"The film has received mixed to negative reviews from critics. "

"Beth Fouhy of the Associated Press questioned some of the film's points and said its central thesis that Obama's presidency is an expression of his father's political beliefs, "is almost entirely subjective and a logical stretch at best"."

"Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic said it was "preaching to the choir" in a style similar to Michael Moore's films, but without the humor, without the straw-man arguments and without presenting views from the other side, and is unlikely to change anyone's mind."

Even if so, does that also count for the independent movie critics? Do you even have such a thing?

No, I won't watch a movie made by and based on the opinion of a republican about a democrat candidate that came out in the midst of the presidential campaign. I'm not saying it's all lies, really not, but it's certainly not "the truth, all the truth and only the truth", I bet.

I've heard that it wasn't that good, only the last 20 minutes or so were actually relevant. I think we just need to raise some money and send a few trusted AGer's to the movies, and we can get some reviews from them.

The Republiscums will try everything they can to stop Obama from being reelected because most of them are rich unpatriotic parasites who refuses to pay their fair share of taxes (insert Romney here) and don't like to be told not to rob or deceive the American people with their crooked insurance, drug and oil companies. They also want to continue their useless war against Arab countries so they can steal their oil. And finally want to take back what the women fought so hard to get, control what they can do with their body and forces them to shove probes into their vagina which of course one of the scumservatives will profit from since they will charge them money for the degrading procedures. All this to please the weasels who can't mind their own danm business (religious zealots and AKA American Taliban).

And no, I won't waste my money to see some right wing terrorist propaganda.

I almost copied what you said, SSTG, and changed anything involving Republican and Conservative to Democrat and Liberal, and you know what? It pretty much works the other way around.

Funny thing is, there's no proof that Romney didn't pay his taxes. You say that republicans want to stay in war with the Arab countries so that we can steal their oil, but republicans are the ones urging for more oil production within the states as well as offshore than relying on foreign countries for their oil. Nobody wanted birth control anyways - that is, unless you want to protect yourself from having a baby - oh wait, I forgot, you can just get an abortion. Lolme, I'm so stupid sometimes.

As much as I hate politics, more often than not it comes down to opinion, and shooting people because they think that something else will work is honestly against the country's foundations. The country was built as a democracy, that the general consensus of the public is the outcome of the country. In this society, I would only dream that politicians see this from society's point of view - if that's what the general consensus is, that's what the public gets. Obviously, they didn't want to elect me and apply my ideas, and I believe as a democracy that as a whole that is what happened, and that's that. We are a respectable society, and honor each others' opinions.

OR, we could just insult each other and blame each other in hopes that the public will frantically decide that I MUST be the best candidate, and if they didn't vote for me, I'll be sure to let them know that they were WRONG. My opinion is always better than your opinion, because obviously enough I have come to this conclusion and you must not have thought it through enough.

Gawd, I love politics.

Anyways, I've not seen the movie myself, but considering I live in a rather conservative environment, I hear a lot of raves about it. I'm a little meh; I dislike propaganda and anything involving shooting down the other side.
