I haven't read the book, but I've heard Dinesh interviewed about it on several broadcasts. At least one of the interviews ran a full hour (w/commercials), and so I think I understand the "D'Souza Theory" reasonably well.

In my humble opinion, the book's line of argument isn't the least bit persuasive, even though the book is full of interesting and juicy details about Barack's family background and intellectual development, and even though D'Souza certainly is a terrific writer.

Why am I not persuaded? Because there are so many Dhimmi-Qrat politicians who are just as bad, even though they lack Obama's Kenyan Y chromosome, and they didn't have leftwing mothers from Kansas.

For example, Nancy Pelosi comes straight from the Baltimore political machine. Harry Reid is a Nevada Mormon. Bernie Sanders is a Brooklyn Jew. Dick Durbin is a Chicago Lithuanian. Jim McDermott is a Seattle psychiatrist. Jay Rockerfeller would be nobody without the billions earned by his family's Standard Oil trust.

I could go on and on with other pertinent examples. But no need. The simple point is that you don't need a Kenyan Mau-Mau father and a Kansas-Kommie mother to be an America-loathing lefty politico. Far from it.

Moreover, and pardon my cynicism, I'd say you don't need to shell out good money for Dinesh's book, not just yet. It probably will show up fairly soon on the remainder tables, priced around a dollar or two.

I thing D’Souza did an excellent of siting and explaining the sources of Obama’s influences, except for MicHELLe.
