The US did break off from GB, like India did, but I’m guessing you are talking about Kenya. Obama was raised by his mother and his Anglo grandparents, then the mother and her Indonesian husband (former Dutch colony) and finally the Anglo grandparents. If I’m not mistaken he spent a couple of days with his father when he was a kid and he first went to Kenya in his late twenties. It is a major stretch to see an Indian immigrant and Obama as people with common background.[/quote]
Clearly you haven’t seen the film where it’s Obama’s actual words from his book that talks about the struggles of his fathers being such a strong part of him? It’s kind of like the theme of the whole movie….WHY? Why on earth is Obama so influenced by this man who spent almost NO time with him. Furthermore it was suggested his Indonesian father began to have some career success working for US Oil Companies. Stanley Ann resented this as he was constantly trying to get her to attend the local parties with the US executives. She truly was some kind of mixed up in the head commie, meaning she really believed in that crap from the sounds of it. So she sent Barry back home to Hawaii, she didn’t want that kind of person to be raising her son. (a guy making a good salary, rising in a corporate job, etc).
So yes under no circumstance should Obama have been influenced at all by such an absentee father, but D’Souza felt that mom was really trying to get that influence into her son. In other words for what reason does he identify so strongly with his Kenyan ancestors?
Also her father made sure to have young Barry spend what was it 3 days per week with Frank Marshall Davis? Now some conspiracy theorists who posted the nude photos of Stanley Ann, taken by Frank Marshall Davis, suggest he is the actual father, but D’Souza doesn’t go that route, he simply wonders who would want a person like Frank as a mentor to young kid? I grew up in a UAW household with a father who HATES republicans with every fiber in his being even at 64, and he wouldn’t have imagined taking me to be mentored by some strange commie three times per week.
All he’s really trying to show is who had an influence on BHO and why. Good to know you and D’Souza are asking the same question, however I suspect he’s more interested in the answer than you.
