The Roots of Obama's Rage

Dinesh D'Souza puts forth an interesting theory that seems to explain many of President Obama's more interesting decisions. D'Souza posits that the President is living out the virulent anti-colonial prejudices of his Kenyan father. Although young Barack Obama only met his father on one occasion, he idolized the Harvard-educated economist Barack Obama, Sr. and adopted his worldview completely. Hence, when the President returns a bust of Winston Churchill to the British, he is only demonstrating a deep-seated hatred of the man his father considered the imperial enemy of Kenyan nationalism. When he encourages oil production for Brazil while denying the same to the United States, he is only transferring wealth to a people his father would consider long oppressed by European colonial powers. When he apologizes to Arab leaders, he is only saying what his father would have loved to hear from the British. This book goes a long way toward explaining nearly all of Mr. Obama's seemingly foolish executive decisions. Refreshingly, D'Souza includes his own gratefulness for British colonization of India, his birthplace, reasoning that the problems we see in former colonies in Africa comes from too little European influence, not too much.
