White House Tries to Discredit FORBES Over Obama Cover Story
Human Events ^ | September 23, 2010 | Human Events

Posted on 09/24/2010 8:48:38 AM PDT by opentalk

Human Events has learned that the White House raked Forbes magazine’s White House bureau chief over the coals yesterday for a story Forbes ran by respected conservative and New York Times bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza. Sources tell us the White House attempted to get the nation’s #1 business magazine to back away from its cover story titled, “How Obama Thinks.”

The Forbes article is derived from D’Souza’s upcoming book The Roots of Obama’s Rage (Regnery, a sister company to HE.com). Even though the book won’t be in stores until next week, left-leaning media and politicos have already joined forces in pointed attacks against it.

The Obama war room kicked into high gear after Forbes published a cover story by D’Souza, outlining why Obama is bad for business. The article includes some highlights from the new book, including D’Souza’s take that to understand how Obama thinks, one must first understand Obama’s philosophical roots. D’Souza asserts Obama’s philosophical roots aren’t racial, and they’re not socialist in the traditional sense, but anti-colonialist--a philosophy that demands weak countries be strengthened at the expense of the strong. D’Souza points out this philosophy was strongly asserted by Obama’s Harvard-educated, Kenyan father in papers and articles he authored.

I am glad Zer0 is having a tantrum about it. Now those curious about the article will read it and say, ‘Yep! That’s Zer0 to a . . . Z!’

Forbes made Rogers very rich even though he ia a middling money manager.

Wrong. Rogers's clients made him very rich, causing Forbes to sign him on as a columnist. As for his abilities as a money manager, hotness of hands does vary, as Rogers's clients and Forbes have no doubt discovered.

Wrong. They hired him when he was a nobody. AA made him very rich along with Forbes.

Over at Amazon the libtards are adding tags like "wingnut", "racist", "offensive" to the book's description.

Needs a freep.

“How Obama Thinks.”

It's easy to discredit Forbes based on the title alone.

Have you ever heard the old saying, "Figures don't lie, but liars figure."?

Never make the mistake of assuming libtards don't think. They think constantly. At any given time, the only question is whether they think wrongly or evilly or both at once.

With Obama, we have elected our first anti-American president. D'Souza has identified his deep-seated grievance against the United States, has figured out where he's coming from. That's why the White House is so annoyed — they're worried the country is catching on.

They should be. People are waking up. They are using a false class warfare debate in the discussion of letting the Bush tax cuts expire. In essence any more tax money taken from us will be sent to other countries and not invested here.

Every time Hillary travels she promises more of our wealth to other countries.

I hope all posters here take the time to read the article - it's awesome and rings true - Obama's book was not named "Dreams of my Father" it was "Dreams from my Father" was brought to my attention and those dreams appear to be playing out as he "leads" America down the drain.

How "ObamaNation" happened is still strange to me. On the other hand, it sure presents an example of how turning hard left can screw up a lot of people and possibly the entire nation.
