A good example of why it is dangerous to make assumptions about nameless, faceless people on the internet. If you actually knew to whom you were speaking I doubt very much that you would issue such a challenge.

He is deliberately trying to deconstruct America, because he believes America is "colonial" in its foreign policy... exploiting the third world. And he appears to believe that America has to devolve from first world status, for "social justice" and "sharing the wealth" to occur.

Now, if that's your idea of an "American" president, congratulations - he's your man.
How Obama Thinks - Forbes.com

The President's actions are so bizarre that they mystify his critics and supporters alike. Consider this headline from the Aug. 18, 2009 issue of the Wall Street Journal: "Obama Underwrites Offshore Drilling." Did you read that correctly? You did. The Administration supports offshore drilling--but drilling off the shores of Brazil. With Obama's backing, the U.S. Export-Import Bank offered $2 billion in loans and guarantees to Brazil's state-owned oil company Petrobras to finance exploration in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro--not so the oil ends up in the U.S. He is funding Brazilian exploration so that the oil can stay in Brazil.

What D'Souza fails to note is that the Export-Import Bank was controlled by Bush appointees at the time the decision to loan the money to Brazil was made. A loan to be used to promote U.S. products in the Brazilian Oil Industry.

While we can speculate what decision Obama appointees would have made, there is just no logical way to use that loan as insight into Obama.

Are you a liberal leaning professor, or something? What books have you written about history? I will admit that I have only taken about 72 hours of history, mostly American and Constitutional but I did teach both American and World history for over 25 years in high school.

I guess I just am not afraid of you until you give me a list of your published works and maybe not then.

YouTube - Glenn Beck: "I hate 9/11 victims families for asking questions"
Glenn is not empathetic to those of them that are milking the system for attention and handouts over a year or more later. Neither am I.
