The Roots of Obama’s Rage

De: Dinesh D’Souza

Narrado por: Sean Runnette

Critics of President Obama have attacked him as a socialist, an African American radical, and a big-government liberal. But somehow the critics have failed to understand what’s truly driving Barack Obama. Now best-selling author Dinesh D’Souza throws out these misplaced attacks in his new book, The Roots of Obama’s Rage.

D’Souza 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 Obama’s own life and writings, D’Souza 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 D’Souza, is more concerned with being labeled as America the Oppressor than winning the war on terror.

The Roots of Obama’s 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 America’s strength, influence, and standard of living. Controversial and compelling, The Roots of Obama’s Rage is poised to be the one book that truly defines Obama and his presidency.

Dinesh D’Souza is the best-selling author of several books, including What’s So Great about America, What’s So Great about Christianity, and Life after Death. He has been a White House policy analyst, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He lives in Rancho Santa Fe, California, with his wife Dixie and their daughter Danielle.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Dinesh D’Souza is one of the most original, insightful, and penetrating minds in America today.” (Paul Johnson, author of Modern Times)

A Better understanding of the President

good Incisive look into President Barack Obama and his own history it’s a great understanding of his motivations

A must for anyone that cares about the U.S.A.

Even though this volume is over 10 years old, it provides an honest look at the forces trying to bring down our great nation from the inside.

Unpacking the Why

A likely accurate theory of the psychological tentacles that explain Obama's reign, motives, and results!

Eye Opening

After reading this book I see Obama in a whole new light. I now understand the roots of Obama's thinking. Now his agenda makes perfect sense to me and is even more disturbing. Every time I hear Obama speak now, I know that I am really hearing his father who was a sad, bitter and wrong thinking man who held extreme resentments against western culture.

Great read. Highly recommended.

Would you listen to The Roots of Obama’s Rage again? Why?

Yes. It is full of interesting facts and the writer's style is very conversational.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

Many facts about the president that our press failed to uncover that leads to a plausible explanation for the president's decisions.

What about Sean Runnette’s performance did you like?

Easy to listen to with comfortable tempo. His use of inflection communicates a reasonable level of emotion through out the book.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

The president's father was a Kenyan who believed 100% tax could be justfied if it was beneficial to programs he supported.

Obiden’s Third Term

Foundational evidence that whatever Obama was unable to accomplish in his first two terms he is working tirelessly to bring to fruition through the Obiden p-residency.

An important book

This is a great book in explaining the motivation of such a powerful, yet not well known individual. It makes total sense. This is my third Dinesh D'Souza book and he explains complex ideas in manageable and even funny ways, with a lot of knowledge to behind them. That's no small achievement.

OBAMA'S AMERICA

Narrator perfect. America took a backseat on the World Stage. Outlook for Country was disturbing under this weakened transformation.

Articulate and clearer delivery by author

Liked it all/history, detail and examples additional side stories that gave clarity and interesting and objective delivery from one who has a similar experience

Insightful and enjoyable read.

I have always found Obama a bit of a mystery. How did he rise so quickly and with so little experience? No one including Mr. D'Souza, interpets history without some bias or filter so it will be interesting to see if D'Souza's hypothesis is able to predict future Obama behavior. The narrator was easy to listen to and I found the book had some interesting insights.
