I saw it last weekend. Thought that it was well done, but I disagree with the premise.
I think that Obama’s mother had much more influence on his life. She was raised by communist parents, so she followed in her parents footsteps when she raised her son. I think that Barry was also influenced by his stepfather and being raised in the Indonesian culture.
In typical Barry fashion he wants you think that he was influence by his dead father, but he doesn’t want you to see the communist influence from his maternal side. Barry knows that the Communist label doesn’t wear too well here in the U.S. with the general public. It is the kiss of death when running for office.
You can't attack womyn, but men SUCK.
...and it ties in with the title of the book, and uses Obama's implicit "help me help me I'm a poor hopeless orphan just like in Dickens, except I'm BLACK you racist!" card against him.
Cheers!
