The movie focuses heavily on Chicago. Bob Barr falsely declares, "Barack Obama has his roots in the Cook County machine." Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson claims, "You can't tell me he spent 18 years there [in Chicago], or however long he spent there, and no stories have resulted from that time." Proving that Carlson doesn't bother to read, there is in reality a massive literature about Obama's time in Chicago, all of it disproving the smears asserted in "Hype."
