Can't watch youtube videos here. It's blocked. Since you didn't post an opinion, but just a video, I find that very controversial. I totally disagree with your opinion you did not post, however. OR wait, maybe I do agree with it.
Nevermind. Just noted the source of your video and he's a whackjob.
So...I thought the problem with Obama was that he's too distant from the people...he's an intellectual more concerned with policy than feelings. Now he has rage? I'm confused...
I just keep wondering, does Mr. D'Souza believe that this 'rage' is hereditary? I mean the president saw he father once between the ages of 2 and 10, how much influence could the senior Obama have possibly had?
Oabam is a product of his environment IMO. A clue is found i just listenig to the ravings of the Rev Wright IMO. Its culturally based and very urabn mostly in it thinkig that the collective makes for success when lokig it more the individaul achievements taken as a collective that brought western society to the forefront.His politcal base has always been in hs ppeal tothoswe who think magically success will be theirs ;with no effort.

I guess that explains how people like Warren Buffet, Steven Spielberg and Howard Schultz amongst many other corporate executives and business owners supported Obama's presidential campaign.
Like just about every other book "written" by these right wing nut-jobs, D'Souza's is just one big LIE-FEST. Whole lies, half truths, made up facts and opinions that he's pulled out of his a**.
IOW, he started with a conclusion; HE HATES OBAMA, then made up stuff that supported it. No wonder the right is so disdainful of intellectualism and rational thought. They can seldom lead them where they want to go.

When my tears were finally spent, I felt a calmness wash over me. I felt the circle finally close. I realized that who I was, what I cared about, was no longer just a matter of intellect or obligation, no longer a construct of words. I saw that my life in America – the black life, the white life, the sense of abandonment I’d felt as a boy, the frustration and hope I’d witnessed in Chicago – all of it was connected with this small plot of earth an ocean away, connected by more than the accident of a name or the color of my skin. The pain I felt was my father’s pain. My questions were my brothers’ questions. Their struggle, my birthright.

Have you read the book? If so, please cite the deficiencies you describe.

Facts are facts.
D'Souza's opinions are presented as opinion.
