Obama's America
''2016: Obama's America'' is a 2012 American political documentary film and polemic by right-wing author and political commentator Dinesh D'Souza. The film was produced by Doug Sain and Gerald R. Molen. D'Souza and John Sullivan co-directed and co-wrote the film, which is based on D'Souza's book ''The Roots of Obama's Rage'' (2010). Through interviews and reenactments, the film compares the similarities of the lives of D'Souza and President Barack Obama as D'Souza alleges that early influences on Obama were affecting his domestic policy decisions. The film was panned by critics; reviewers described the film as politically partisan and as "a nonsensically unsubstantiated act of character assassination", unlikely to sway undecided voters or Obama supporters. The film grossed $33.4 million in the United States.

Hanuman is regarded to be the son of the wind-god Vayu, who in several stories played a direct role in Hanuman's birth, and considered to be an incarnation or son of Shiva in Shaivism. Hanuman is mentioned in several other texts, such as the epic ''Mahabharata'' and the various Puranas.
