Three weeks ago, Dinesh D'Souza has written the cover story for Forbes Magazine. He based the story on his book, about to be published about President Obama. D'Souza's theory is that our President is driven by an anti-colonialist ideological hatred.
After the publication of the article, the White House spokesman Robert Gibbs was sent to contact the magazine editor, and in passing derided the magazine, saying: "It's a stunning thing, to see a publication you would see in a dentist's office, so lacking in truth and fact."

D'Souza claims to be a lot like Obama: both with cosmopolitan backgrounds, with roots in former colonized countries, nonwhite, influenced by mixed marriages, born the same year, attended Ivy League colleges and graduating the same year.

What seemed to inspire the author to write this book was an article he read back in 2008, in the London Telegraph titled "Barack Obama's Lost Brother Found in Kenya". The 26 year old George Hussein Obama was found living in a Nairobi slum. "I live here on less than a dollar a month." George said. Humiliated by his poverty, he confessed he never mentioned the famous half-brother. The two Obamas met briefly in 2006 when Barack was a senator, but the two didn't connect. D'Souza was shocked that the Senator, with a net worth in the millions of dollars did not lift a finger to help a destitute close relative. George wanted to be a mechanic, and D'Souza raised a couple thousand dollars to help George move out of his hut. By then D'Souza believes the Obama's presidential campaign caught up with the guy, and George was apparently told to go into hiding.

D'Souza believes that since childhood, Obama's dream was always to become an anti-colonial warrior. And also that his father's dream became his own.

Dinesh D'Souza has written a book that may (or may not) be one of the most provocative studies in American political history. The ultimate impact of the book, THE ROOTS OF OBAMA'S RAGE, will be determined by how many Americans actually read the D'Souza's book -- and how many of those readers concur with D'Souza's conclusions.

D'Souza contends that the underlying philosophy of America's first black president is anti-colonialism; that is to say, the author claims that Obama is against any remnant of the colonialist era, which, unfortunately, includes a significant part of American history.

So, D'Souza contends, Obama is in the process of revolutionizing America's stance on a wide variety of key issues, including a ban on imperialistic wars waged by a rogue military; changing America's free enterprise, capitalistic economy into a socialized economy that is regulated by the federal government: turning America's private health care system into a single payer (socialist) medical system, and turning America into the greenest nation on earth. The net effect of all these major changes in American policies will be to redistribute America's wealth to less developed parts of the world.

Obama, according to D'Souza, is in the process of trying to completely reverse 300 years of American history, turning the country into a low profile, socialized nation is nested quiescently in the family of nations around the world. No more superpower pretensions on Obama's watch.

D'Souza is of Indian descent, and he claims that he has the racial and ethnic credentials to challenge Obama. He has organized and formatted his book in a highly logical, though sometimes fanciful, cocky style. As he warns his readers in an early chapter:

All I am going to say is this-- To everyone who is bashing this book, it is obvious that 99% of you haven't so much as read a page.

I have never read anything more interesting or thought provoking about President Obama. Whether or not you agree with Dinesh, it is hard to dismiss his theory as unrealistic or impossible. Dinesh uses Obama's own words, personal history and actions to compile his theory. I can't say for certain whether the premise of the book is accurate or not. What I can say is that the book itself is an interesting, eye opening trip into Obama's past and a logically coherent glance into this country's future.

Before you mindless drone on about how the book is inaccurate or personally attack Dinesh, try reading it first.

I read an article written by a woman from Africa, I think at the American thinker, I don't remember her name. She was the first person who said that Obama reminded her of the anti colonial socialists she knew from back home in Africa. It now makes sense why Obama would surround himself with people who write papers about de-developing America. Why on earth would a "leader" try to destroy the economy of his own country? Why would Obama cap 3500 oil wells in the U.S., thus losing 23000 jobs only to then give billions to Mexico to drill for oil in those very same waters? Explain that if you can. He then gave billions of our borrowed money to Brazil to drill for oil in deep water. He sees the world as the oppressed and the oppressor. When he talks about redistributing the wealth, he means from the U.S.A. to the rest of the world. That means from you too liberals and union workers... You guys are richer than most of the people on the earth!
