Synopsis

Critics of President Obama have attacked him as a socialist, an African American radical, and a biggovernment liberal. But somehow the critics have failed to understand whats truly driving Barack Obama. Now bestselling author Dinesh DSouza throws out these misplaced attacks in his new book, The Roots of Obamas Rage. DSouza explains that the reason Obama appears to be working to destroy America from within is found, as Obama himself admits, in The Dreams of My Father: a deeply hostile anticolonialism. Instilled in him by his father, this worldview has led President Obama to resent America and everything we stand for. Viewing Obama through this anticolonialism prism and drawing evidence from President Obamas own life and writings, DSouza masterfully shows how Obama is working to weaken and punish America here and abroad. From enacting crippling financial reforms to setting artificial withdrawal dates in Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama is trying to muzzle the capitalism which he sees as exploiting the weak. Our president, argues DSouza, is more concerned with being labeled as America the Oppressor than winning the war on terror. The Roots of Obamas Rage reveals Obama for who he really is: a man driven by the anticolonial ideology of his father and the first American president to actually seek to reduce Americas strength, influence, and standard of living. Controversial and compelling, The Roots of Obamas Rage is poised to be the one book that truly defines Obama and his presidency.

Whether you are an Obama fan or not, The Roots of Obama’s Rage is a must-read. I rarely give the full five stars but this is a ringer. Be sure to read the last chapter though, because if you agree with Obama about the evils of American and formerly European hegemony, D’Souza delivers a potent rebutt......more

Goodreads review by Denise

I mostly read this book to see if I could understand the roots of the rage against Obama, as I don't see as much rage in the President as I do in his opposition. The book began in a seemingly logical fashion, but pretty quickly degenerated into a lot of the normal rhetoric. It's difficult to take th......more

Goodreads review by Rachel

After hearing the buzz about the movie "2016," and knowing I would have a hard time attending, I went to the book to learn what D'Souza had to say about Barack Obama's 4 years in office. Born in Hawaii, just 2 yrs after it became the last state in the union, Obama was surrounded by the heated resent......more

Goodreads review by Paul

Intellectual, clear, methodical analysis of Obama’s influences, agendas, and behaviors Having recently read Edward Klein’s The Amateur (and having liked it, despite its short length and superficial content), I was struck by just how intellectual, methodical, clear and thoughtful this book is.
