As President Barack Hussein Obama’s Ship of State sinks faster than the Titanic, his friends in Hollywood are trying to help him bail…and they’re not being very subtle about it.

And Obama’s people are responding in kind.

The movie studio producing an epic about the U.S. special forces raid that killed muslim mass murderer Osama bin Laden is getting help from the Pentagon, but, don’t worry, gentle reader, the Administration proclaimed on Wednesday that no classified information has been leaked.

Per weeklystandard.com:

Sony Pictures, the company distributing next year’s film, hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama on their studio’s premises in California last April. So far, Sony is the only major studio to hold a political fundraiser this cycle. According to Deadline Hollywood, Sony will release the bin Laden movie, directed by Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow, on October 12, 2012–less than a month before the presidential election.

“The eyebrow does go up when you see the release date,” says Douglas Urbanski, a Hollywood producer and conservative radio talk show host. Urbanski said he believes Bigelow’s movie will be straightforward and apolitical, much like her 2009 war film The Hurt Locker (which won the Academy Award for Best Picture). But Sony’s decision to release the bin Laden movie just weeks before the election, he says, is most likely “very, very deliberate.”

Urbanski was a producer for The Contender, a 2000 political thriller with a plot that sympathized with a sex scandal-plagued Democrat and demonized a conservative Republican member of Congress. The movie was released on October 13, 2000. “It was without a doubt a deliberate attempt to influence the election,” says Urbanski.

The movie, featuring the only good thing that has happened under Obama’s watch, will hit America’s movie screens in October 2012, in a blatant attempt to influence American voters.

Was Dan Rather a consultant on this film?

The chairman of the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King (R), called Tuesday for an investigation into contacts between the administration and the filmmakers. King wants to know whether special operations methods had been compromised.

According to White House spokesman Jay “Jaybird” Carney in a recent press briefing:

The claims are ridiculous.

We do not discuss classified information. And I would hope that as we face the continued threat from terrorism, the House Committee on Homeland Security would have more important topics to discuss than a movie.

“Shut up,” he explained.

Per Pentagon spokesman, U.S. Marine Corps Colonel Dave Lapan, the Defense Department is cooperating with filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal as they work on a motion picture about the raid that killed bin Laden.

The two, who worked together on the Oscar-winning Iraq war movie “The Hurt Locker,” had been developing the bin Laden film even before the al Qaeda leader was killed in May in a raid on a compound in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad.

In a statement, the pair said their movie covered a period of three different U.S. administrations that searched for bin Laden, including those of Presidents Clinton and Bush:

This was an American triumph, both heroic and non-partisan, and there is no basis to suggest that our film will represent this enormous victory otherwise.

After a New York Times column saying the film was timed to give Obama a “home-stretch boost” in his re-election bid was published, King has called for an investigation into the claim that Bigelow had been given “top-level access to the most classified mission in history.”

Lt. Col. Lapan responded, saying that the Defense Department is “providing assistance with script research, which is something we commonly do for established filmmakers.” Lapan said the Pentagon attempts to help filmmakers and authors but “we do not discuss classified information.”

According to Carney, the information provided to the filmmakers “has been focused on the president’s role”:

There is no difference in the information that we’ve given to anybody who’s working on this topic from what we gave to those of you in this room who worked on it in the days and weeks after the raid itself.”

Sure, Jaybird.  Now about the timing of the release…

As of yesterday, gallup.com reported that Obama has tied his all-time low for job approval, sitting at 40%.

And, on a day that saw the Stock Market dropping (again) over 500 points , a Reuters/Ipsos poll was released, with results showing that

73% of Americans believe the United States is “off on the wrong track,” and just one in five, 21 percent, think the country is headed in the right direction.

The survey found that 47 percent believe “the worst is yet to come” in the U.S. economy, an increase of 13 percentage points from a year ago when this question was last raised.

This is the highest measure since March 2009, when concern peaked at 57 percent, at the height of the recession.

There is some good news for Obama and his handlers, though:

Eighty percent of Muslim Americans approve of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as president, according to a newly released survey conducted by the Abu Dhabi Gallup Center, a partnership between Gallup and the Crown Prince Court of Abu Dhabi.

Unfortunately for our petulant president, the Muslim population of the United States (yes, Scooter, all 57 of them) currently stands at a mere 1.5 per cent.

As for the majority of Americans, well…we’re convinced that he stinks on ice…and no movie produced by a bunch of  Liberal sycophants in Hollyweird is going to convince us otherwise.
