Obama's Next for 'Hillary: The Movie' Producer

Monday we noted the debut of Hillary: The Movie.

Now it turns out the producer of that epic horror flick is planning a bio-pic on Barack Obama should he go on to win the Democrat nomination.

The producer of a new documentary about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says he will produce a similar movie about Sen. Barack Obama, should the Illinois Democrat defeat the former first lady for the party's presidential nomination.

"We already have our research staff working on Obama and, if he is the nominee, we will have a film out this summer, just like this one," said David Bossie, president of the conservative group Citizens United and executive producer of "Hillary: The Movie," which premiered last night in Georgetown.

Mr. Bossie also told The Washington Times he expects a federal court to issue its ruling today or tomorrow on a pending Federal Election Commission case that has so far prevented the airing of TV advertisements for the Clinton documentary.

"I can put it in theaters, I just can't let anybody know it's there," said Mr. Bossie, adding that he expects the case ultimately to be appealed to the Supreme Court. "Michael Moore advertised his movie; I want to advertise my movie."

In a hearing in Washington last week, attorney James Bopp argued that the ads are constitutionally protected free speech and should be exempt from campaign regulations that would require Citizens United to reveal the names of its donors and include a disclaimer in ads for the film.

"Hillary: The Movie" chronicles Mrs. Clinton's role in several major scandals, including the firing of White House travel office employees. The documentary shows one of those employees, Billy Dale, breaking down in tears as he describes how he was prosecuted by the Clinton Justice Department. Acquitted of all charges, Mr. Dale was widely considered a victim of the Clintons in the so-called "Travelgate" scandal.

Convenient how much of the media has glossed over Mrs. Clinton's slimy history. When she touts her 35-year record of change, she never mentions the egregious firing of those employees, Billy Dale in particular.

As far as an Obama movie goes, they certainly won't have as much material to use, but a closer examination of his past should be mandatory. You know most of the Washington press corps will just gush and slobber all over him and fail to point out his shortcomings.

At a reception following the premiere, which drew more than 200 attendees, another of the film's stars said she was impressed with the quality of the final production.

"I can't imagine how anyone could ever vote for [Mrs. Clinton] after seeing that," said Kathleen Willey, who accused President Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting her in the Oval Office and recounts her experience in the new movie.

Already available as a DVD sold online at HillaryTheMovie.com, the film also features interviews with Tony Blankley of The Washington Times, John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, R. Emmett Tyrrell of the American Spectator, Kate O'Beirne of National Review, talk-radio host Mark R. Levin, former Clinton advisor Dick Morris, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and syndicated columnists Robert Novak and Ann Coulter.

While Mrs. Clinton has faced a tough fight against Mr. Obama in the Democratic primary campaign, Mr. Bossie said he expects the New York senator to prevail.

Mr. Obama still "can win the nomination, but probably will not," Mr. Bossie said, because of Mrs. Clinton's reported advantage among so-called "super delegates," the elected officials and party officials whose votes at the Democratic convention could prove decisive in choosing the party's presidential nominee.

"The analysis that I've heard from [Republican pollster] Frank Luntz and others who really know how to count these things is that Hillary has a 3-to-1 margin in super-delegates over Obama," Mr. Bossie said. "A lot of these super-delegates [owe] their political lives and fortunes to Bill Clinton."
