D'Souza obviously did his homework for his book, of which this movie is based upon, and surprisingly, he didn't step too far into political issues to make his point. He analyzed Obama's father, his upbringing, the people around him who influenced him throughout his life, the things he wrote papers on and even a psycho-analysis of him to best understand the affects an absent father has on a child (in the same vein as the offspring of a war veteran).

D'Souza presented his data excellently in terms of Political Science, regarding colonialism and neo-mercantilism, and he clearly went to great lengths to get at the heart of his information, by doing interviews with key people, quoting Obama's works, and presenting a massive amount of data that makes you question who Obama was, is, and what he aspires toward.

People who assume this movie to be conservative dribble should really give this movie a chance. It's not to make you hate Obama, but to simply explain who he is, because no one bothered to try in 2008.
