The format is more that of a formal documentary.<br /><br />I wouldn't say that the film contains much emotion at all. It's more along the lines of something one might see on the Biography Channel, but not as "dry."<br /><br />D'Souza's thesis holds up well -- plenty of evidence and none of it controversial (birthism, speculations as to biological paternity, etc.). Thus, no sensationalism whatsoever. <br /><br />In fact, much of the film contains the audio version of Obama himself reading <i>Dreams from My Father</i>. D'Souza explains why the book's title contains the word "from" as opposed to "of."Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-2139809749752485802012-08-28T02:25:15.787-05:002012-08-28T02:25:15.787-05:00Chuck,

For example, Mr. AOW cannot get into and out of the car by himself -- and he certainly cannot load the scooter into the trunk. Also, he's not driving; medical approval for doing so hasn't been given and may never be given.<br /><br />Fortunately, in this area, we have multiple handicapped-taxi services and a public paratransit system as well. These services have grown astronomically the past few years as the population has aged.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-79342676157976887972012-08-28T02:22:20.218-05:002012-08-28T02:22:20.218-05:00Stogie,

I will say that the scooters at the malls and the grocery stores have larger baskets for shopping.<br /><br />I'm not surprised that casinos in Vegas offer scooters. I wonder if the casinos in West Virginia have scooters? Mr. AOW is not ready to travel by train.
