Product Description
Hes the medias darling, the fresh face of the Democratic ticket. But what does Barack Obama really stand for--and will his extreme liberal agenda and complete inexperience in global affairs endanger the country? Thats what David Freddoso, investigative reporter and National Review Online columnist, examines in The Case Against Barack Obama. In this shocking expos, Freddoso explores the reality behind the rhetoric, the plans behind the promises, and the faults behind the faade, revealing:
Why Obamas inexperience and extreme left-wing voting record is more dangerous than any threat we face today
Why the Rev. Wright debacle reveals Obamas poor judgment of character and deceitful nature
Why it wont be politics of change with President Obama--it will be liberal politics as usual
Freddoso exposes the real Barack Obama: a typical big-government politician, the #1 most liberal U.S. senator, and--if he were commander in chief--a serious threat to our national security.

Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :3
This "allowance" rings true for any serious commentator on any political candidate. In fact, wouldnt it be a decent idea for every political candidate to have a "devils advocate" like this one? Successful politics should produce public executives, judges, and lawmakers who are talented, but "regular" people who need to examine the reality of their policies and beliefs.
David Freddosos slant in "Obama" is obvious: he does not want Barack Obama to be President of the United States. Getting past that, the three thoughts he wishes to leave the reader with seem to be: 1) Mr. Obama is not the reformer he claims to be 2) the Chicago political "nursery" which Mr. Obama developed in and from, could be one of the worst and corrupt systems anywhere in the country and 3) the reform claimed by Mr. Obama will turn out to be quite left-liberal. Viewed this way, the critique becomes a reasonable one. Not necessarily true in the long run, but reasonable for the present. There are 11 chapters in this work, each with an expectedly different topic of criticism. That Chicago theme runs through them all, be forewarned.
Consider this interesting experiment: reread the book six years from now. What a checklist this could be, in a minor way for the now-President Obama, but more so for the authors prediction powers!
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :4
This is a revealing look at Obamas political career. Though the author admits he has a conservative bent, he is even-handed in his treatment of Obama. He avoids the shrill and emotional fears you hear about Obama while looking at the then-candidates rise to power and his record. I found it especially fascinating to read about Chicago and Obamas dealings in the state legislature. If you want an insight into Obamas political philosophy and a look at the people he surrounds himself with, you should read this book. In a nutshell, Obama is about politics as usual, not about change.
The Case Against Barack Obama
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :4
After reading this book, I dont know how anyone could have voted for this man! It is a sad fact in American politics today that not enough people seem to care about the character of their candidates. Image appears to be everything these days. The words of Shakespeare are as true today as they were hundreds of years ago: "So may the outward shows be least themselves. The world is still deceived with ornament." May God help us!
All Americans should read this book...
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :5
All Americans should read this book and get the real behind the scenes story of Obamas quick (to quick) rise to stardom, I, I, mean Presidency. Whatever your political affiliation everyone should know the history behind this guy and if more people knew the "real" story about this guy, not just what the liberal mainstream media, he wouldnt have even been nominated as the Democratic candidate. The election is over, Obama is in BUT people should still read up on this guy for future reference.
The book, I feel is an accurate portrayal of his almost instant political rise to the top. It clearly shows how he has been given a free pass and is untested and has been almost unquestioned about his political views and agendas. I did feel like the author on occasion was reaching a bit to prove Obamas ties and the severity of some of them. The chapter on Rezko I felt was a far reach even though it was politically wrong what Obama did for Rezko in exchange for favors it is however the way politics work in general, "You scratch my back Ill scratch yours."
Clearly in this book you can see Obama isnt an agent of "change" as he portrays himself to be on the campaign trail. He is the polar opposite of political change. He is a product of one of the most corrupt political climates in this country. He is and always will be politics at its worst. Its what defines him. He is a masterful politician (not a good thing) and will say or do whatever he has to at any given time and will totally change course in the blink of an eye to further his expansion of power, fortune, and fame. This book proves it and I think it is a very accurate history of our new elected President. It also shows that he is just the messenger for a vast array of other political figures and their dangerous hidden agendas. Be afraid.........be very afraid of this guy and his associates. Bush doesnt have anything on this guy and what he will be pushed to do (change). Change is definately coming but change for the sake of change isnt a good thing.
Im disappointed he won the election for several reasons: (1)Americans have not only been misguided by the vast majority of mainstream news outlets BUT the info has been available and most Obama supporters chose not to believe it or at least research its validity as I have done. They chose him because he speaks well or gives hope, even though its based on falsehoods and fantasy world ideologies and are void of common-sense and practicality. Everyone needs hope or for lack of a better word(s) a peep talk on occasion but it needs to be "real." (2)Is Obama and McCain the best this country has to offer as Presidential candidates?????? McCain would have been only a handful of policies better than Obama but lower taxes for all and Natl security are key differences that may end up bitting the "hope and changers" in the butt and we ALL will suffer. I didnt vote for McCain I voted against Obama. (3)Obama and his wife are IMO racists. They agreed with Wright and Phlagers ideologies and attended a church that is clearly racially discriminatory towards any other race but their own. One need to only look at their church charter to see it clearly. Read up on the fundamentals of "black theology." Americans didnt seem to mind this but if it were McCain with the same hard-core ties to "white theology" he would not even have a Senate job. Clearly a double-standard that is racist in substance is OK as long as it is the black race doing the discrimination........After all Obama has clearly made numerous racial comments pertaining to whites in his two books but I guess, as usual, he gets a free pass..............
Numerous inaccuracies
Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :1
This book has numerous inaccuracies. I wonder how those that love this book will survive living the next 4 years under Obama. Actually make that 8 years, since more than likely the economy will not be in a recession 4 years from now, which will make his re-election all but guaranteed. Im glad Obama won the presidency.
Fascists, Brownshirts, jackbooted stormtrooperssuch are the insults typically hurled at conservatives by their liberal opponents. Calling someone a fascist is the fastest way to shut them up, defining their views as beyond the political pale. But who
This title is the "New York Times" bestseller - now in paperback. In "America Alone", Mark Steyn uses his trademark wit, clarity of thought and flair for the apocalyptic, Mark Steyn to argue that America is the only hope against Islamic Terrorism. St
