Product Description

Has any major candidate for president of the United States ever received less critical examination than Barack Obama? Who is this man, who was only elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004? How did someone with his meager record of accomplishment become the Democratic nominee for president? How did someone with the most liberal voting record in the U.S. Senate and long-standing relationships with a former terrorist, a racist minister, and the corrupt operators of Chicago Machine politics end up as a supposed beacon of a newer, cleaner, bipartisan politics? Investigative reporter David Freddoso has the answers. Doing the legwork that the mainstream media has neglected, applying a critical eye while the media swoons before the Obama-messiah, and posing the hard questions that Obama needs to answer, Freddoso reveals a politician as calculating as any other, a far-left Democrat who goes beyond -abortion rights- to supporting de facto infanticide, whose -new politics- amount to Chicago-style hardball overlain with lofty rhetoric, and who, from his positions of power, has helped his patrons. Sober, fair, and thoroughly researched-and all the more powerful and provocative because of it-The Case Against Barack Obama removes the halo from a man less qualified, and more radical, than the mainstream media has let you know.

5 out of 5 stars The Case Against Barack Obama   August 5, 2008

[...]
Since Obama himself is so obtuse about his background, beliefs, accomplishments (are there any?), etc., it is imperative that someone actually do the research to find out about the true Obama before handing him the highest office in the land. As a person who employs other people, I would want much more information than what is on Obama's thin public resume.

This book does that research for you and comes up with the fact that Obama's resume IS thin. He decided after only 143 days in the US Senate that he was ready to step up and be President. He has the most liberal voting record in the US Senate. He attended a racist church for twenty years and then only quit the church when it became a political liability. He was a community organizer in Chicago whose main accomplishment was getting asbestos removed from a single apartment house and even then they didn't remove all of it. This is the experience you need to run the country?

America is ready for a man or woman of any skin color, ethnicity, religion to be President but they must at least meet the minimum qualification of being "experienced" in executive management. Obama has never run anything in his life other than a campaign. We don't need another Jimmy Carter no matter what skin color he is.

Buy the book and actually do some research before voting. [...]



5 out of 5 stars Obama Is Even SCARIER Than I Thought...Get the Facts Here!   August 5, 2008
Just Bill (Grand Rapids, MI United States)
247 out of 312 found this review helpful

Like many Americans, I've seen the media bend over backwards to portray Barack Obama in a favorable light. On the Yahoo homepage, for example, I counted the number of Obama headlines during a one-month time and compared them to the number of McCain headlines. The difference was striking. Obama made news even when the news seemed to be "Obama Sneezes!" or "Obama Helps Little Old Lady Cross Street!" or "Obama Reacts to McCain's Reaction!"

The media absolutely LOVES Obama. Why? What happened to the independent media, the press being the fourth estate, the watchdog of the people? Somewhere along the way, the media became the lapdog of the liberal left. And that's why Obama is dubbed "the Messiah" by conservative talk-show hosts.

Who is Obama? Where did he come from? What does he really believe? I've been wondering those questions and many more for months now. When I first encountered Obama and his women-swoon-during-his-speeches persona, I was intrigued. But when I started to hear reports that he had the most liberal voting record in Congress, that he was an inexperienced first-term Senator who hasn't accomplished anything of substance since taking office, and that his friends ranged from racists to terrorists...I began to wonder if I'd ever get the truth about Obama.

The Case Against Barack Obama answers my questions and gives me the information I need to talk to people who have succumbed to his siren song of "change." Thanks to The Case Against Barack Obama, I now know that the kind of change he stands for is the kind the people of the Soviet Union and Communist China have been trying to throw off for decades. Obama is a radical left-wing socialist who wants the government to control our lives from cradle to grave.

I suspected Obama wasn't what he claimed. But I had no idea he was this bad. Seriously, Barack Obama is THE most dangerous man in politics. If he is elected President, he will create change, all right -- he'll cause America to take a giant leap to the left. If you want to know what that will look like, ask your European friends, those people who stagger under tax burdens of 60%-70% of their income, who have to wait forever in long lines for health care, and who struggle to breathe free and live to their full potentials.

Barack Obama scares me. Not because he's black. But because he's dishonest, radically leftist, and as divisive as any politician I've ever seen. He may preach "hope" and "change" and being a "unifier." But his actions do not match his words.

The Case Against Barack Obama is an eye-opening book for those who may be on the fence, or who need solid facts to help educate friends who have been duped. Barack Obama makes Slick Willy look like a rank amateur. Read this book and see why.



5 out of 5 stars Abraham Lincoln he is NOT   September 22, 2008

Before reading this book, I had no idea that Barack Obama had gone to such great lengths to challenge hundreds of signatures on the ballot petition of his Democratic Illinois State Legislative opponent---enough so that she was disqualified and did not run.

The long and the short of that effort was that Illinois voters did not have a choice. I would not think that is the kind of change one ought to be proud of. A genuine one-candidate ballot, in a nominally Democratic nation.

The same might be inferred from Barack Obama's run for the U.S. Senate, in which his Republican opponent was suddenly smeared on a grotesque personal level---with facts that were indeed available to Obama's staff---two weeks before the election. Until that point, the candidates were running neck and neck. After, however, the Republican withdrew from the race, and no one took his place. Obama ran unopposed, once again. For the U.S. Senate.

In other words, Obama's political career has been more or less unvetted by the voters. He is, as he has said himself, a clean slate onto which idealists can project anything they like. And that is a huge problem.

For Obama's slate is apparently not so clean as the general mainstream press would have Americans believe.

Politics is very dirty indeed, but in Chicago Illinois, it is possibly dirtier and more corrupt than in any other U.S. locality. The Democratic machine rules. And Barack Obama is an ingrained part of Mayor Daley's corrupt, wasteful Democratic machine. Committed Chicagoan Democrats and Republicans alike have objected.

David Freddoso's superb, calm, collected, well-documented reporting (he's an above-average Columbia Journalism school graduate) demonstrates just how up-to-his neck in Chicago machine politics Obama has been.

Obama has voted for pork barrel farm subsidies to support ethanol, despite substantive scientific and environmental documentation demonstrating that ethanol production is a wasteful process responsible for driving food prices ever higher, while providing virtually no energy advantage.

Obama campaigned aggressively in favor of public campaign finance----only until it became apparent he could raise more money privately, at which point he disavowed his previous political principal.

Obama sponsored mostly bills that authored by other people, a fact that his Chicago machine connections and advisers successfully absconded for him.

Even before reading this book, I had serious doubts about Obama. Now, though, the picture of an empty suit is complete.

And please---do not shout "racist" unless you take the trouble to read the book yourself. The facts have little or nothing to do with the man's skin color.

This book is neither conservative, nor liberal. It is a simple, declarative set of facts, extremely well documented. Those who argue Freddoso created a set of base smears have obviously not taken the trouble to read it. Rather, Freddoso goes to great lengths to invalidate baseless smears, e.g. that Obama was not born in the U.S.

Alas, there are many more substantive problems with this candidate that wise voters will want to examine before pulling the lever on Nov. 4.

There are plenty of facts, however, that clarify the point: About the only thing Obama has in common with Abraham Lincoln is that he moved to Illinois from elsewhere and sought office there.

Obama's record is a vapid landscape of "present" votes, of avoiding controversy, of failing to back genuine educational, financial, political and other change, of failing to eradicate slums, and of failing the poor and working Americans whom Obama professes to support.

Obama is just another wealthy elitist.

Independent, Democratic and Republican American voters---everyone, in short---really cannot afford to cast ballots without reading this book.



5 out of 5 stars Another viewpoint   August 6, 2008

Being from Illinois, I have had an oportunity to watch this guy in his very early days in the state senate. I am happy that someone is actually going through his record and things he actually said and did in those early days and exposing him for the fraud he really is.

Yes he is charismatic, gives nice speeches, and has an attractive family but I hope people will wake up to find out what he is really about. I doubt that MSNBC, the Today Show, GoodMorning America will have this author on their shows as it paints a different light on the media's beloved anti-Bush savior Barack.



5 out of 5 stars A Sobering Look at the Man Who May Become President   August 5, 2008
Jo Ana Starr (USA)
190 out of 241 found this review helpful

This is an intriguing book that shows a view of the Democratic Presidential candidate that no one wants to see. We have been so proud of our country for nominating a black American as the Democratic Presidential candidate, and we were so taken by this candidate's good looks and charming ways. I think we all had hopes that he was a politician free of the dirty dealings that seem to have become part of the American political process. As the months have passed since his nomination, and as we've listened to what he has to say and NOT the way he says it, doubts have surfaced for many of us.

This book written by a Chicago resident who has seen at close hand how Mr. Obama gets things done politically, reveals the "real" Obama. If you believe that a person's actions in the past predict to some extent, his actions in the future, then our country, already in trouble, could be in for unimaginable difficulty, if this man is elected.

This book isn't a hatchet job written by some guy with an axe to grind. It's an expose of a candidate with strong socialistic leanings, questionable political dealings, and frightening personal and political associations, as documented by someone who has experienced Mr. Obama more personally than most of us have.

I think this book fills in a lot of blanks in the sparse information we have about Mr. Obama. I agree that much of what this book reveals is shocking and most of it disappointing, but we need to know who this man really is. As Americans, we have the right and responsibility, particularly at this crucial time in the evolution of our country, to know who we are or are not, voting for. This book will give you a lot to think about while you are making that decision.
