I say GOOD! Wth. Do your thing Harvey. Psshh. Go Obama. And Go my SF Giants in the World Series (just had to throw that in there haha). But as to the article, they should include Obama in there more it was his final call for the raid…….

The bigger issue with this is how nobody is addressing the fact that the dude on the far right looks like Xzibit.

Considering how much the GOB and it's allies are trying to blatantly influence the outcome of this election, one should not be surprised the Democrat's allies would do the same.

Of course, you fail to mention this passage from the article:
"But Mr. Stockwell said he had included Mr. Obama as a character in his film from the beginning, and had actually shrunk his screen time somewhat. And Howard T. Owens, the chief executive of the National Geographic Channel, who joined the call, said his company had insisted on removing a scene that showed Mitt Romney appearing to oppose the raid."

I'll wait until seeing the movie to decide what the film's political and artistic merits are. But knowing Weinstein, I would imagine he probably thought the election would help the movie as much as, if not more than the movie would help the election.
