Hype: The Obama Effect

A right wing propaganda film portraying Barack Obama and his campaign as a series of lies and falsehoods. Citizens United, a "conservative research organisation" and an obviously unbiased source of information, makes their case against Obama based on his popularity and eloquent speeches which, in their eyes, disqualifies a man as the leader of the United States.

I wish Urban Dictionary wouldn't put up so many ads of immature political bullshit like Hype: The Obama Effect.
