    I really didn't know what this was until I googled it.

    "In a nutshell, his theory is that Obama?s world-view can best be understood by reading his memoir, Dreams From My Father, and taking it seriously. Barack Obama Jr., Dinesh argues, has assumed the anti-colonialist, anti-Western, anti-American, anti-free enterprise perspective of his father, which explains much of his otherwise-puzzling conduct as president."

    People still believe this kind of stuff? Look if you don't like the left and think Barack is the worst thing that ever happened to America. That's one thing. But the ideas above are pure silliness. I should add, here that I do believe that Obama is bought, and kept by the very "interests" the above claims he is against. Obama is a "company" man. Just like most politicians. If he is guilty of anything it's being an American Politician! lol

    There's your documentary. Do one about ALL the company men in Gov't!

    And BTW. How many people are "pro-colonialist"? That's a strange statement to make if you know anything about these histories?

    You could say that most of us have formed certain ideologies from our youth and experiences early on. Obama I would assume is no different in that respect than most anyone. Fact is, it does explain the path he has put us on but regardless of my own personal beliefs, one must come to their own conclusions.

    For giggles, your right, lots of so called "company men" to be found, but Obama aside from being one of them plays it to a whole other level with an agenda in mind that if was put out there in black and white without the B.S., he would have still been a community organizer in Chicago.

    As far as being "silly".....well, you'd have to call the whole psychiatric field silly also, isn't that what they do to evaluate ? Look into peoples past, past experiences, upbringing, education and so forth ?

    Very well done film. I won't comment much on the topic of the film except to say this... I had preconceived ideas about Mr. O, and as I left, I felt rather sorry for him. To have been moulded to believe such things from an early age, it's no wonder he seems driven to make things "right" from his point of view. Can you imagine what kind of leader he could be if he had been educated in the truth rather than lies and propaganda? I like him more now as a man, as a human being, because i have compassion for that little boy inside him. But as a leader... time to hope for change.

    I don't like Obama's healthcare agenda at all, in fact I'm 100% against it!!! However it's kinda hilarious that the other party couldn't pick any bright face but that fake-smile Romney to run against Obama. I mean, if you think this is the best chance for you to dethrone the Pres, why couldn't you bring out your big gun instead of relying on that loser? He lost in 2008, and he's still your best weapon 4 years later? :razz:
