REVEALED: The real motives that drive Barack Obama as he works to destroy America

"The most profound insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama." -- Newt Gingrich

 

The Roots of Obama's Rage by Dinesh D'Souza

Barack Obama: even as his presidency approaches the halfway point, he remains to a great degree an enigma to friend and foe alike. Conservatives have pointed out his hardcore socialist ideology, his immersion in African-American radicalism, and his uncritical endorsement of the failed policies of big government liberalism. But now bestselling author argues that all that is not what is really driving Barack Obama to make the disastrous decisions he continues to make as president. In his shocking new book, The Roots of Obama's Rage, D'Souza explains that the real reasons why Obama appears bent on working to destroy America from within can be found in the first of our callow and self-absorbed president's two autobiographies, Dreams From My Father.

 

This is no secret. In fact, Obama himself admits in the book that his earliest experiences formed the outlook that he has carried through his political career. Obama, says D'Souza, is his father's son, and his dreams are derived from his father's aspirations and failures. The Roots of Obama's Rage thus focuses on the deeply hostile anti-colonialism that Barack Obama, Sr., instilled in his son -- a worldview that has led the man who is now president to resent America and everything for which we stand. Viewing Obama through this anti-colonialism prism and drawing evidence from the president's own life and writings, D'Souza masterfully demonstrates how Obama is working to weaken and punish America here and abroad -- in accord with the picture of America as the world's bogeyman that he internalized in his early youth.

 

D'Souza shows how Obama, as he enacts crippling financial reforms and sets artificial withdrawal dates in Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama is not working in America's best interests by any measure. Instead, he is trying to muzzle the capitalism that he is convinced is exploiting the weak. Likewise, Obama is more concerned with reining in what he regards as America the Oppressor than he is with actually winning the war on terror.

 

There are numerous other examples of Obama's embarrassment with and distaste for Western civilization and its legacy of freedom. D'Souza also points out that the Churchill bust in the Oval Office -- given to the U.S. by Tony Blair after the September 11 attacks -- was banished from the Obama White House almost immediately after the president took office, and unceremoniously sent back to Britain. He reveals how Obama's conference on Iran and North Korea's nuclear weapons programs ended with nothing being done about Iran and North Korea, but with reductions in the Soviet and American stockpiles. D'Souza even explores the ominous implications of Obama's twenty years in the Afrocentric church of the Reverend Wright, noting that Obama was first attracted to this racist, far-Left church by a sign outside that said: FREE AFRICA.

 

The Roots of Obama's Rage uniquely reveals Obama for who he really is: a man driven by the anti-colonial ideology of his father and the first American president to actually seek to reduce America's strength, influence, and standard of living. Controversial and compelling, The Roots of Obama's Rage is an original and revealing look at the most dangerous president of modern times.

 

Meet the real Barack Obama:

 

Why understanding Obama's formative history is crucial to understanding who Obama is now

 

Obama's supreme struggle: to try to reconcile the Africa of his father and the America of his mother in order to develop a cohesive sense of identity and place

 

Barack Obama's hatred: how his experiences with his father filled him with hatred -- a calm, ideological hatred derived from the debris of the anti-colonial wars and their impact on his family and especially his father

 

Why it is not entirely accurate to call Obama a socialist

 

How Obama seeks to castigate and expose the rich, whom he views as a neocolonial force within American society, so that they cease to be exploiters of the rest of the population

 

How Barack Obama, a man of Arab African and white American ancestry, became identified as a black American

 

How Obama self-consciously rejected his father's American nickname in favor of the senior Obama's African identity

 

The shocking core belief that explains Obama's friendship and association with the radical activist/terrorist Bill Ayers

 

Why, despite being a son of Africa and obviously being very concerned about Africa's present and future, Obama can offer Africa essentially nothing

 

How critics of Obama's absurd moral equivalence and criticism of America missed the real point of Obama's statements

 

How Obama clearly prefers the kind of patriotism that is not associated with the 9/11 attacks and America's subsequent actions in Afghanistan and Iraq -- and how, in Obama's world, we show our love for our country not through jingoistic flag-waving and foreign expeditions, but rather by agitating for domestic policies that take from the haves and give to the have-nots

 

How, while one might expect a president to be mostly concerned with protecting the American people from terrorist attack, Obama's primary concern seems to be with protecting captured terrorists from the American military

 

Behind cap and trade: why, for Obama, high oil prices aren't the problem; America's level of consumption is the problem -- and America's energy "addiction" is presumed to be a new form of neocolonial exploitation
