“People feel they had invested so much in Obama on what he had said and what he was capable of and it just hasn’t happened that way,” he said.

The Harvard graduate-turned-director said that he and  Newbrough, the video’s co-creator, were “swept up” in Obama’s fervor last election but are undecided on who to vote for this year.

“Hopefully he will go back to his campaign promises and I will put my support behind him again,” Monticello said.

The video goes on to criticize Obama for failing to close Guantanamo Bay,stimulate the economy, having a “kill list” and stepping up the prosecution of drug users.
