Seal Team Six: Why the Bin Lade Movie Will Not Help Obama Win Reelection

Impact

On November 4, two days before the election, National Geographic will air a made-for-TV movie, SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden, that prominently features President Obama’s role in the operation. Prominent Democratic supporter and Hollywood royalty Harvey Weinstein backs the project and maintains that scenes of Obama in the film give it a greater sense of realism and the project is not politically motivated. I maintain that this movie is politically motivated, but don’t mind.
