Sony Pictures tells Whispers that it has acquired the rights to distribute the HBO documentary By t he People: The Election of Barack Obama. In describing the film, the media giants say that the previously untitled flick won't be just a collage of biographical and campaign video.

Barrack H. Obama is the President of the United States of America by an overwhelming majority of hope filled citizens who DENOUNCE the Bush & Co. Republicans who've dominated 8 years of American government life and have virtually DESTROYED all principles and laws ever written.

Obama is going to be loved by history and his memoirs are going to go for nothing less than 20 million.

Don't you get it yet ? WE LOVE THIS MAN and we WANT HIM TO SUCCEED !! We want him to do whatever he can to help this country. We are willing to support him through anything the rightwing, communism, fascist, foreign terrorist, domestic terrorists, pundit media or idiot activists throw at him.

You will not defeat this man or his agenda. We intend to make his efforts part of a broad deep rooted movement to change this country at every juncture of this nations turns. The momentum will only get larger and will wash away all that stand in the path of growth, strength, fairness, and success for all.

Hahahaha and that my friend is the glory of the internet and "New Media"

Ironically "New Media" reported on this after the election, but the report was that HBO bought the rights.

What I love is when a journalist recycles the story, whats even funnier is HP recycling since they ran the previous one.

No harm done, Im sure it will great, and honestly I hope more Americans get HBO, its really a great channel when it comes to producing Dramas and Documentaries.
