and my point is that in kenya into a colonial revolt was in the 1950's, and obama was born in 1961, right in his lifetime affected his grandfather and his brother and his father so talk about the revolt and what significance it might have had for the obama family. >> guest: fi obama revolt was one of the dark sides of the colonial history. >> host: you mean the revolt? >> guest: yes. the soldiers were drafted in the second world war and they fought and died in india and when they came back the untold they were fighting for the freedom of democracy and they got back and found no change, there's no freedom and no democracy from them and out of the roots of that frustration after the second world war grew threefold which ended up as a very bloody, very nasty revolt not only against the canyons, but a lot of people who hadn't looked at this period in great detail there is a civil war within the africans themselves. many more people, black kenyon's by more then ever. in my group in the 1950's in britain and i can still hear the echo of the news reels and how the black savages were massacring w

and i think that obama, sr.'s anger was more directed at what was going on within his own country than at with the british had done and having left their own country. and the other thing is even his best friends will tell you this, obama, senior, was a very arrogant man. he had a high opinion of himself. he was very clever but he was arrogant. and the other thing he did is that he would rail against his superiors and his bosses and they didn't like that and he was quite publicly denounced on one occasion the head of the central bank of kenya and supplying the clever man around here. .. you often find historical event, sometimes leading with a lot of people get killed for the anti-colonial wars were not hypothetical wars. they were real words. many people died. and in the upcoming vote in the 1850s with the soldiers. british cavemen and a lot of people were arrested, shot. that was still 150 years ago. my grandfather was born in 1899. my point is that in kenya the anti-colonial revolt was in the 1950s and obama was

and so obama, sr.'s fall from grace i don't think it had anything to do with anticolonial.t had to do with watching his country decline and also him decline as well. him not getting the due credit he really thought he deserved. >> i think that's absolutely true. he was a pompous man. >> he was. >> and i think you mentioned that when he was at harvard, he would call himself dr. obama even though he didn't have a doctorate. >> he didn't have a ph.d. but he had a master's degree but never made it to a doctorate. >> yes, you've got this post-colonial world but i think you would agree, you know, you're from britain. i grew up in india that the 50 years or so after colonialism, anticolonialism remained the dominant political trajectory. the indian independence leaders were educated in britain. they were advocating fabian socialism. >> yes. >> you mentioned the revolt and i'd like to have you say a word for this for this reason. it seems to me -- even when you think of where people get their ideas, you often think you get your name in the power lounge and you have a lot of events

barack obama's sr.'s back in hawaii. no one ever saw them date, no one went to the wedding. so barack obama sr. had nothing to do with the formation of young barry obama who did have a lot to do with the mother. i know there's a lot of talk about islam and what not, and he did have a stay in indonesia, but his stepfather was sort of a go as you please muslim, but his mother was a hard core secular humanist, and she just drove, drove, drove this into his head. and one occasion, it was a very telling occasion in dreams from my father, he talks about this. is that her husband works for an american oil company, he's an indonesian. and he says, hey, we're having a party, why tonight you come meet some of your people, and she shouts back at him, those are not my people. this is barack obama's mother. she's not a little girl from kansas. she was known as anarchist annie in her high school years at seattle where she left from, and then she went back to seattle immediately. so that was the primary formation. and that was reinforced by frank marshall davis, it was reinforced by bill ay

s action calmed the week's-long drum beat for a no-fly zone over libya. obama waited for europe and the arab league, aware that americans are reluctant to take on another fight in the arab world. and as a consequence to 2012, perhaps a political upside to backing the freedom fighters but on the downside, there's always a risk of getting blamed. the president said, i'm not going to be point man on libya. he said i'm going to stay back and get the pack ahead of me. >> he did. the problem looking irresolute has gone away for the moment. he got the u.n. security council which does not move like a s.w.a.t. team normally and he got the russians and chinese to abstain. he got the cease-fire out of qaddafi. but there's a downside. three-quarters of the american public thinks this is a problem that should be left to someone else. it's not clear what happens next after bombing the tanks. and the last two no-fly zones we had in bosnia, three years, in iraq, 12 years. we always managed this would be done by easter. when it comes to no-fly zones, it takes longer. chris: but

s. 23 promises. here's what the statement of administration, obama administration policy says. it lays out what's at stake. by moving the united states to a first-to-file system the bill simplifies the process of acquiring rights. this essential provision will reduce legal costs, improve fairness and support u.s. innovators seeking to market their products and services in the global marketplace. and then continuing the statement, most of the arguments in opposition to the bill and the fitf appear to be decades-old contentions that have been fully and persuasively rebutted. as one example, the national research council of the national academics assembled a tkpwraoufp leading patent -- group of leading patent professionals who spent four years intensely studying these issues and concluded in 2004 that the move to the fitf represented a necessary change for our patent system to operate fairly, effectively and efficiently in the 21st century. they go on to say without retaining s. 23's current first-to-file provisions, the bill would no longer provide meaningful patent reform. let

s energy tax. and believe it or not, the obama has made it clear that these higher prices are exactly precisely what the doctor ordered. during the presidential campaign, president obama famously said -- he was really up front -- "under my plan electricity bills would necessarily skyrocket." voters entered the voting booth with the false hope that we in congress would never let that happen. but sadly the obama administration has made it clear that they intend to work around congress. energy secretary steven chu even told the "wall street journal" on september of 2008 -- quote -- "somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels of europe." unquote. now that's not my vision for america. and with gasoline over $7 per gallon in places like germany and france, i doubt that many americans share that vision. yet this administration has chosen to use the e.p.a. to make gasoline expensive through its ill-advised energy tax plan. the e.p.a. is targeting our fuel refineries when gas prices are headed to $4 per gallon and oil is over $100 a barrel. it doesn't make sense. but when

this month the house voted to repeal the 1099 mandate in obama care that will hamstring small businesses. soon we will vote to stop the e.p.a.'s back door national energy tax that would drive up gas prices, and we're holding hearings on the raines act. common sense reforms that give the people a say before the government tries to implement any job-crushing job regulations. we're also working to cut wasteful spending strong signal that washington is going to stop using our small businesses as piggy banks and focus on helping them get back to creating jobs. already we have cut washington spending by 10 billion over five weeks. this is real money especially when you consider that president and democrats in congress originally suggested that not a single dime in spending cuts would be had. of course, we're serious about ending the uncertainty for job creators in our economy. we need to cut more. as economists have explained and many americans already know, it's the private sector that creates jobs, and government overspending just crowds out private investment. that's why last month the house passed a measure reflecting the will o
