YOU WILL NEVER SEE OBAMA THE SAME WAY AGAIN
He’s been called many things: a socialist, a radical fellow traveler, a Chicago machine politician, a prince of the civil rights movement, a virtual second coming of Christ, or even a covert Muslim.

But as New York Times bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza points out in this shockingly revealing book, these labels merely slap our own preconceived notions on Barack Obama.

The real Obama is a man shaped by experiences far different from those of most Americans; he is a much stranger, more determined, and exponentially more dangerous man than you’d ever imagined. He is not motivated by the civil rights struggles of African Americans in the 1960s—those battles leave him wholly untouched. He is not motivated by the socialist or Marxist propaganda that hypnotized a whole generation of wooly–minded academics and condescending liberals—those concepts also leave him cold.

What really motivates Barack Obama is an inherited rage—an often masked, but profound rage that comes from his African father; an anticolonialist rage against Western dominance, and most especially against the wealth and power of the very nation Barack Obama now leads. It is this rage that explains the previously inexplicable, and that gives us a startling look at what might lie ahead.

In The Roots of Obama’s Rage you’ll learn: Why Obama’s economic policies are actually designed to make America poorer compared to the rest of the world Why Obama will welcome a nuclear Iran Why Obama sees America as a rogue nation—worse than North Korea The real reason Obama banished a bust of Winston Churchill from the White House and ordered NASA to praise the scientific contributions of Muslims Why Obama would like to make America’s superpower status a thing of the past

Stunning, provocative, original, and telling—no one has better diagnosed who Obama is, what he intends to do, and why he poses an existential threat to America than Dinesh D’Souza in The Roots of Obama’s Rage.

The preceeding is from the Amazon Editorial description. Basically, it goes back to his father’s relationship with the British colonialists in Kenya.

That matches, but doesn’t explain his fascination with Wright’s “church”.

I remember Koufax real well, and Berra. I don't remember them ever on the same team. Was this an All Star game back in the mists of time?

For someone of normal mental capacity to get inside Obama’s mind somehow makes me think of a camel passing through the eye of a needle. This is not a trivial undertaking.

Obama is a radical communist Muslim. Of course he has contempt for all Western nations and their allies. He is a MUSLIM.

Hugh Hewitt interviewing Mark Steyn is like Sandy Koufax pitching to Willie Mays — a thing of beauty.

Was Koufax the dullest pitcher of his era? Hewitt is a respectable enough guy. But it's truly remarkable the lengths he will go to make his show as excruciatingly boring as possible. The guests he chooses (Steyn excluded, of course) are especially awful.

He recently dedicated the whole three hours to interviewing a southern California monk about his monastery. I couldn't help tuning back in periodically to see if he was indeed still interviewing the monk. Sure enough, the entire three hours. He is the grand champion of tedium, no doubt about it.
