I'm glad that you have the decentency(?) to not express who your vote is for. But instead kept it yourself and let people choose 4 themselves without celeb influence.

Yes but that fact that he is with holding the movie until after the election sends a clear signal who he is supporting

wow, Edward Norton is playing Obama?
only difference between Obama and Norton is that Norton doesn't try to be white.

If the film is factual, it should help him or its seems by not putting out the film, before the election, there might be a lot things that the American people needs to know if he is truly needs to run for president. Like who he appointed while he was senator, where he has given his money to, why he won't salute the flag or will he use the bible in the swearing in. He has only 143 days of being actually on the senate floor. The commitee he is on never meet. Also why didn't both candiates to something about the mess were are in now since thay were both in the senate. Why wait till you run for president. If I'm wrong I stand to be corrected. Engine 480

Why does the writer call it a 'B. Hussein Obama' documentary instead of Barack Obama? Every other article I have read about this documentary doesn't call it that. "Engine480" you are WRONG about Obama NOT swearing in on the Bible and saluting the flag! He does BOTH!

j@zumazuma1961:
I'ts a reference to Anne Coulter. His name is Barack Hussein Obama, she's a psycho right-winger and refers to him as B. Hussein Obama. Obviously the writer/editor is a Coulter fan and threw in this little dig.

Thank you Guy.. I kinda knew it was a dig :) I was trying to be subtle in my inquiry, just as the writer was trying to get their subtle dig in as well. I see the writer accomplished the confusion as to whether Edward Norton is for or against Barack by reading some of these comments. FOR THE RECORD: Edward Norton DOES support Barack Obama!
Obama/Biden 08!
