now, that is only one-third of what george clooney helped president obama race at a fund-raiser earlier, but its $2 million more than what jay-z race for the president recently in new york. it's a positive sign, but we are guessing it does not mean hollywood is, well, throwing over mr. obama and, well, endorsing the romney family values. too bad. well, speaking of liberal hollywood, producers of the block buster movie 2016, obama's america, clamming president obama supporters are sabotaging their movie. they have a good case. creators of the second highest pressing political documentary in history say they had to notify the fbi after someone illegally applauded the movie on youtube over the weekend. there were also false internet rumors that fox is was going to air the fall movie for free. as a result, the film took in less than a million dollars of the weekend, down 27% from the previous weekend. the fbi is investigating. we call the motion picture association of america for, because they have to be concerned about intellectual property rights and trademark of creativity. for some reas
