Book Description
He's the media's 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? That's what David Freddoso, investigative reporter and National Review Online columnist, examines in The Case Against Barack Obama. In this shocking expose, Freddoso explores the reality behind the rhetoric, the plans behind the promises, and the faults behind the facade, revealing:

* Why Obama's inexperience and extreme left-wing voting record is more dangerous than any threat we face today
* Why the Rev. Wright debacle reveals Obama's poor judgment of character and deceitful nature
* Why it won't 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.

Don't waste your money on this if you're looking to be genuinely informed. The author's primary goal is to cash in on the election.

If you hate Barack Obama and you're looking for something to reinforce your hatred, you can stock up a few copies of this book, read it over and over and over and gift copies to your friends. Unfortunately, you will not be uplifted in any way. But you're just going to look like an idiot any time you get into an intelligent argument and you try to use some of the information in this book.

If it is true that the kind of books a man keeps in his library says a lot about him, you might wanna rethink owning this piece of trash.

0 out of 5 found this review helpful

Whether one is for or against Barack Obama, everyone should be offended by the kind of "reportage" in this dishonest, poorly written, and absurdly misleading book. It's not the first time Jerome Corsi has published "slime" journalism--he even did a hatchet job on John McCain not so long ago. Shame on Corsi, and shame on anyone who doesn't make an honest attempt to factcheck his hamhanded and vicious writing before jumping to erroneous conclusions about Barack Obama, John McCain, or any of the other public figures Corsi has slandered. This embarrassment of a book provides an object lesson in what's wrong with American politics today: There is no real and meaningful conversation about issues and ideals anymore; only the cult of personality and this kind of inane and destructive gutter discourse that illuminates nothing.

This book will never get the mileage or popularity of Corso's, but the evidence presented is irrefutable and so obvious One wonders why so many Obama supporters don't get it. To argue against the premise of this book is natural - it's called partisanship - but to argues with the objective presentation of facts is madness. The author attempts to present evidence and facts absent the usual polemics associated with such a book. I believe he succeeds remarkably. It's objective and should cause real fear among all Americans. The author's personal trepidations come through the attempt to avoid partisanship, but the message is clear: if Americans want backbreaking taxes, unjustified redistribution of their earned wealth, a transfer of controlling authority in the U.S from parties beholden to the people to individuals and organizations determined to destroy it, a weakened military and clueless leadership then the Obama tool is The One. If even half of this country is worth saving in the minds of voters, they had better run from this charlatan and his America-hating Marxist cronies and "mentors" as fast as the voting line will let them. The unwritten message is: There is Serious Danger here to our Democratic Republic.

Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D. (Colorado USA)
4 out of 6 found this review helpful

This clear and cogent book makes the case according to the facts. Christians should especially take heed, since Obama is trying to win them over. Consider just three issues: unborn human life, terrorism, and poverty.

Abortion:

All humans are made in God's image and are such from conception. God forbids murder (unlawful killing). The killing of the unborn is, therefore, immoral and sinful--especially so, since they are utterly helpless. They are among "the least of these" that Jesus told us to care for. (I take abortion to save the life of the mother to not be sinful, but this accounts for only a minute percentage of abortions in the US).

1. Obama would sign The Freedom of Choice Act if it comes to his desk. This would annul every state or local restriction on abortion in the 50 states.

2. Obama would appoint several Supreme Court justices. They would be pro-choice with a vengeance, thus wiping out the possibility of reversing Roe v. Wade, which (along with Doe v. Bolton) opened the floodgates to abortion on demand in the United States. In other words, over 40,000,000 legal abortions in the United States since 1973.

3. Obama would fund abortions through tax payer's money. That is chapter and verse from the Democratic Platform.

4. Obama even opposed the ban on partial birth abortions, and would likely do what he could to bring them back. He opposed a born-alive statute in Illinois that would have allowed hospitals to save aborted babies that survived their own execution.

5. Obama admits he is an ignoramus on when a fetus gets any human rights. It is "above his pay grade." He has also said that we don't know when human life begins. This is a crock. Biology tells us life begins at conception (once a complete genetic code comes into being); since that life comes from humans, it is human life from conception. What else could it be? This is not difficult. But even if one is not sure when human life begins, that does not justify abortion on demand! We should, rather, err on the side of caution, given the momentous stakes at hand.

The National Right to Life gave Obama a rating of o%--the worst possible. The National Abortion Rights Action League gave him a rating of 100%--the best possible. See their documentation of Obama and Biden's views on abortion.

John McCain has become more pro-life recently. He said at Saddleback Community Church that the fetus has human rights from the beginning. He is the polar opposite of Obama on this, as is Sarah Palin.

Terrorism:

Evil is real in the world. The Bible does not forbid the use of force in a just cause. The innocent should be protected against attack.

1. Obama has no military experience. In fact, he has anti-military associations, such as William Ayers, a confessed bomber of American military sites. Like most political liberals, he views terrorism as a criminal justice question, not one of military concern. He has opposed funding for the Iraq war and would likely lose that war if elected, thus turning Iraq into a bloodbath and likely a terrorist stronghold, with the Iranians reigning down on it like vultures. They are already supporting terrorism around the world.

2. Obama views himself as a "world citizen" and would conform to international pressures rather than putting the US first. This would weaken us and make us more vulnerable to attack and lessen our ability to do good in the world.

McCain is a military man and has served in the Senate for over twenty years, getting more experience on these matters. He supported the recently successful troop surge (when it was unpopular) and realizes we cannot pull out of Iraq until the job is done.

The Poor:

Some Christians are deceived into thinking that political liberalism is better for the poor than conservatism. So, since the Bible tells us to care about the poor and the oppressed, we should support the Democrats. Not so fast. Saying you care about them and actually providing meaningful assistance are two different things. The liberal mindset is based on centralized, tax-funded programs. This slows down the economy and encourages dependence. This was the lesson of President Johnson's "War on Poverty." Poverty won. Read Winning the Race by John McWhorter (an African American) on that.

The conservative approach is to limit the power of the state, to cut taxes, and to give people more freedom to develop their skills and work on and give to the causes that concern them. It is not "Let them eat cake," but is based on a different philosophy of economics.

Moreover it is a leftwing fable that conservatives don't care about the poor. Studies show that conservatives give four times more to charity than do liberals. This is because liberals think the state should do this work, not individuals and private associations. (See Arthur C. Brooks, Who Really Cares? and The Acton Institute.)

McCain has articulated his concerns to help those out of work get reeducated and those without adequate health coverage to have more options. However, he does not want to socialize medicine and create a huge bureaucracy.

It is not an option for Christians to neglect the poor and marginalized. However, it is far from obvious that the Democrats have the best plan to help these people. They would certainly not help the unborn, the poorest and most marginalized of all.

Confederate (Bethesda, MD)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I almost didn't read this book. Jerome Corsi's volume on Obama seemed to be adequate and, thankfully, it turned my wife from voting for Obama. Still, David Freddeso approaches Obama's past from a strictly historical perspective. How can someone who was so influenced by Marxists and hard core socialists during his formative years possibly help from turning out to be a Marxist or a hard core socialist?

With the nomination of Barack Obama, it marks the second time the Democrats have run a Marxist for president. Al Gore had so many connections with people like Armand Hammer, who personally and financially sponsored both him and his father, that it's more than a little ridiculous to suppose that Gore would have risen through the ranks with a strong commitment to the Constitution and its republican core. Now enter Obama, who has even more connections with communists and hard core socialists like Saul Alinsky, Marshall Davis and campaign aide Sam Graham-Felsen, to name only a few. In fact, as the American Thinker blog noted: "Barack Obama has a thing for Marxists. He befriends them, listens to their counsel, and he even hires them to work in his campaign. And they seem to feel the warmth. President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, who led a revolution there in 1979, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a 'revolutionary' phenomenon, and Americans are 'laying the foundations for a revolutionary change.' A captured computer revealed that an unknown person chatted with Marxist FARC guerillas on Obama's behalf (they believed), stating he would be the next President and US policy towards Columbia would change. Frank Marshall Davis, a dear Obama friend and mentor was as a member of the Communist Party USA. Barack Obama just seems to attract Marxists."

Obama, like anyone else, needs to be judged in the context of his past, not from the results of an extreme makeover. How can tax refunds be given to people who don't PAY taxes, for example? And how does he believe corporations would fund tax hikes on their profits? That's right, by passing the taxes on to the consumer...us! It all comes back to our pocketbooks. Obama wants to refund our taxes to people who pay no taxes. Thirty years ago, people would have recognized that for what it is, but hey, those are the social benefits of a dumbed down educational system.

And what of oil? Oil is needed to create and distribute pesticides to protect our crops, to ship them to supermarkets, to make and sustain our roads and highways. Obama's conversion to necessary drilling was a little too quick and insincere for my tastes.

It's okay for Obama and other Marxists to run for office, but hiding their true agendas is what is so agonizingly painful to watch. David Freddeso insists that Obama come clean, and some of Obama's most staunch supporters really don't want that to happen.

Product Description

Here are the facts:

The United States has released 425 terrorists from Guantanamo, at least 50 of whom have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both say they're fiscally responsible. But each has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten years—and dressed them up as tax cuts!

Mainstream Media has been given marching orders from the Society of Professional Journalists: never refer to "Islamic terrorists" or "Muslim terrorists." And they are obeying! Whenever our brave agents disrupt a terror plot, The media dismisses the culprits as a gang of idiots—lulling us into a false sense of security.

If the liberals win the 2008 election, they will cripple talk radio—forcing stations to give equal time to left-wing programs, and insisting that liberals play a key role in station management.

Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudan—for a total of nearly $200 billion.

The Do-Nothing Congress is still doing nothing—and the worst offenders are the presidential candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain, who never show up for their day jobs as senators . . . except to pick up their $165,000 paycheck!

Is it any wonder that Americans feel fleeced at every turn?

As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress appear to be AWOL.

Who's calling the shots instead?

Big business, big government, big labor, and big lobbyists. And their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying credit card interest rates higher than 25 percent, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries.

In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleeced—by our own government; by foreign countries like Dubai that are gobbling up American interests and spending millions to influence government decisions and American public opinion; by Washington lobbying firms that are pushing the agendas of corrupt foreign dictators on Capitol Hill; and by hedge-fund billionaires collecting huge tax breaks courtesy of the IRS.

With their characteristic blend of sharp analysis and insider insight, Morris and McGann call offenders of all kinds on the carpet—and offer practical agendas we all can follow to help turn the tide.

No matter how many times it happens, the gullibility and ignorance of the American public never ceases to astound and amaze. Even the most indolent high-school drop-out should realize that we were in a DEPRESSION until FDR pulled us out of it and transformed the United States into the most wealthy and most powerful nation on Earth, and that that's where we remained until Reagan initiated a revolution of his own -- one that transformed our country from the biggest creditor and the largest producer of finished goods in the world, to the biggest debtor and the largest consumer of goods.

Now our jobs are overseas; we allow "free trade" while China, Japan, Korea, and India impose tariffs on our products; we talk about the "free market" while making it ILLEGAL for the US government to negotiate for lower prices with pharmaceutical companies and providing the oil industry with $15 billion in subsidies while it earns that much in a single fiscal quarter; and our businesses are going broke as a result of healthcare costs while health insurance CEOs are given bonuses that amount to more than $1 billion.

And although the Republicans have controlled Congress for 12 of the last 14 years and the White House for the past eight, Morris claims that it's the fault of "the liberals." Not quite. Each point Morris makes is so easily refuted, it's downright silly.

These are what he claims are "the facts" (followed by a brief response in CAPITAL LETTERS):

The United States has released 425 terrorists from Guantanamo, at least 50 of whom have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops.

THIS IS NOT ONLY FALSE, IT'S DELIBERATELY MISLEADING. FIRST, THE ONLY EVIDENCE OF ANYONE BEING RELEASED FROM GUANTANAMO AND RETURNING TO THE BATTLE FIELD IS ONE SINGLE INDIVIDUAL -- NOT 40, OR 30, OR 20. ONE. AND IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE PUT IN GUANTANAMO GOT THERE AS A RESULT OF WARLORDS TURNING IN INNOCENT PEOPLE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE BOUNTY WE PAID. SO CHARACTERIZING EVERYONE AS A "TERRORIST" -- EVEN AFTER THEY'VE BEEN ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES -- IS LUDICROUS. MORRIS MAKES THIS STUFF UP TO SELL BOOKS, AND YOU'RE BUYING THEM.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both say they're fiscally responsible. But each has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten years--and dressed them up as tax cuts!

ACTUALLY, OBAMA HAVE CALLED FOR RAISING TAXES ON PEOPLE MAKING MORE THAN $250,000 A YEAR; PEOPLE MAKING LESS THAN THAT WILL ACTUALLY RECEIVE A TAX REDUCTION THAT'S THREE TIMES LARGER THAN THE ONE MCCAIN IS PROPOSING. BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE -- A NONPARTISAN GROUP OF ECONOMISTS WHO PROVIDE OBJECTIVE ANALYSES OF THIS STUFF -- HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT. (www.epi.org.)

Mainstream Media has been given marching orders from the Society of Professional Journalists: never refer to "Islamic terrorists" or "Muslim terrorists." And they are obeying! Whenever our brave agents disrupt a terror plot, The media dismisses the culprits as a gang of idiots--lulling us into a false sense of security.

THIS IS SO LUDICROUS IT'S HILARIOUS. THE "MAINSTREAM MEDIA" DOESN'T TAKE MARCHING ORDERS FROM PROFESSIONAL JOURNALIST SOCIETIES; THE MARCHING ORDERS ARE GIVEN BY THE HANDFUL OF GIANT CORPORATIONS THAT HAPPEN TO OWN THE MEDIA -- SUCH AS GENERAL ELECTRIC (WHICH OWNS NBC AND MSNBC AND DOES MAJOR DEFENSE CONTRACTING WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT); THE AUSSIE, RUPERT MURDOCH, THROUGH HIS NEWS CORPORATION (WHICH OWNS FOX, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE NY POST, 20TH CENTURY FOX, AND MYSPACE); TIME WARNER (WHICH OWNS CNN, TIME MAGAZINE, AND AOL); NATIONAL AMUSEMENTS (WHICH OWNS CBS CORPORATION, VIACOM, PARAMOUNT STUDIOS, AND SIMON & SCHUSTER BOOKS); DISNEY (WHICH OWNS ABC AND VARIOUS MOVIE STUDIOS); AND CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS (WHICH OWNS THE VAST MAJORITY OF RADIO STATIONS IN THE US, INCLUDING XM SATELLITE RADIO, AND A NUMBER OF OTHER TV AND PRINT MEDIA). BOTTOM LINE: THESE COMPANIES LIKE THE HUGE TAX CUTS THE GOP GAVE THEM AT THE EXPENSE OF ORDINARY AMERICANS, AND THEIR AGENDA IS DICTATED BY THOSE INTERESTS -- NOT SOME JOURNALIST SOCIETY.

If the liberals win the 2008 election, they will cripple talk radio--forcing stations to give equal time to left-wing programs, and insisting that liberals play a key role in station management.

THIS IS A FLAT-OUT LIE. MORRIS IS ALLUDING TO THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE, WHICH REQUIRED THE MEDIA TO PROVIDE EQUAL TIME TO BOTH SIDES OF POLITICAL ISSUES UNTIL REAGAN DISPOSED OF IT IN THE 1980S. NO ONE -- IN EITHER PARTY -- HAS MADE ANY EFFORT TO BRING IT BACK; THE ONLY ONES WHO TALK ABOUT IT ARE RIGHT-WING RADIO HOSTS AND HACKS LIKE MORRIS, WHO LIKE TO BRING OUT BOOGIE MEN TO MAKE IT SEEM AS THOUGH RIGHT-WING COMMENTATORS ARE VICTIMS OF A RELENTLESS ATTACK BY THE LEFT. ACTUALLY, ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN CAN SEE THAT RADIO IS ALMOST COMPLETELY DOMINATED BY RIGHT-WING BLOW-HARDS LIKE LIMBAUGH, HANNITY, AND MYRIAD COPYCATS -- AND IT ISN'T BECAUSE OF "COMPETITION" IN THE MARKET PLACE. IF IT WAS, YOU'D SEE PROGRESSIVE TALKERS LIKE ED SCHULTZ AND THOM HARTMANN -- WHO CONSISTENTLY EQUAL OR BEAT HANNITY AND LIMBAUGH IN A NUMBER OF MAJOR MARKETS -- BEING PICKED UP BY MAJOR MEDIA. BUT THEY HAVEN'T, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY MAKE MONEY FOR STATION OWNERS. TO THE CONTRARY, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS IN WHICH CONSERVATIVE GROUPS HAVE ACTUALLY BOUGHT STATIONS CARRYING AIR AMERICA HOSTS FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF TAKING THEM OFF THE AIR -- ONE OF THE MOST SALIENT EXAMPLES BEING WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY IN GEORGIA, WHERE A CHURCH GROUP BOUGHT THE AIR AMERICA STATION AND RAN CHURCH INFOMERCIALS ALL DAY AND NIGHT IN ITS PLACE.

Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudan--for a total of nearly $200 billion.


THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE, BUT WHAT MORRIS DOESN'T TELL HIS READERS IS THAT THE EFFORT AT DIVESTMENT HAS BEEN BIPARTISAN (BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS HAVE CALLED ON GOVERNORS AND LEGISLATORS IN ALL 50 STATES TO DIVEST THEIR PENSION FUNDS FROM THESE COUNTRIES) AND THAT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAS OPPOSED THOSE EFFORTS. THIS IS WHAT A BUSH OFFICIAL SAID IN DECEMBER 2007:

"The administration opposes proposals to authorize divestment by state and local governments, which impair the ability of the president to act on behalf of the nation as a whole and risk creating a multiplicity of foreign policies,'' said Adam Szubin, director of Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control, in testimony in October.




The Do-Nothing Congress is still doing nothing--and the worst offenders are the presidential candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain, who never show up for their day jobs as senators . . . except to pick up their $165,000 paycheck!


TO THE EXTENT CONGRESS IS REALLY "DOING NOTHING," IT'S BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS HAVE FILIBUSTERED LEGISLATION THE DEMOCRATS HAVE OFFERED NEARLY 100 TIMES IN THE LAST SESSION ALONE -- THE LARGEST NUMBER IN HISTORY -- EVEN THOUGH REPUBLICANS THREATENED TO DO AWAY WITH THE FILBUSTER (AFTER 140 YEARS) WHEN THEY WERE IN CONTROL OF CONGRESS, CLAIMING THAT THIS "NUCLEAR OPTION" WAS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE DEMOCRATS FROM USING IT TO BLOCK APPOINTMENTS TO THE SUPREME COURT. THIS IS JUST ONE MORE EXAMPLE OF THE UTTER HYPOCRISY BY THE GOP.

Bottom line: Morris used to be Clinton's best pal, until Fox offered to pay him as one of its "analysts." He's written a book full of utter BS to make money. You're free, of course, to spend your money on anything you'd like, but you'd be better off buying comic books if you're trying to educate yourself about the issues of the day.

As a corporate director I am very concerned about the direction our nation is heading particularly in the areas of trade deficits, loss of manufacturing, lack of immigration reform and our wrong-headed energy policies (using our corn for fuel; how stupid is this). But more than these concerns are the concerns for my family and the American way of life. I can live with an incompetent government to a degree, but now our very lives are at stake due to our lose of direction.

This book is a must read for everyone that believes our nation and our way of life is important. As the book so adeptly points out, we are on a slippery slope and help does not seem to be on the horizon. Neither Congress nor the executive branch offers any hope. Our current presidential candidates are under-whelming to say the least. Maybe if Palin and Biden were on top of the ticket I would feel better - probably not.

Please read this important book and pass along the information to others. The information is disturbing but very real and well researched. Just in case you're wondering, I vote Republican. Michael L. Gooch, SPHR Author of Wingtips with Spurs

Product Description

In this thoroughly researched and documented book, the #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry explains why the extreme leftism of an Obama presidency would leave the United States weakened, diminished and divided, why Obama must be defeated—and how he can be.

THE OBAMA NATION Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality

Barack Obama stepped onto the national political stage when the then-Illinois State senator addressed the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Soon after Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, author Jerome Corsi began researching Obama's personal and political background.

Scrupulously sourced with more than 600 footnotes, THE OBAMA NATION is the result of that research. By tracing Obama's career and influences from his early years in Hawaii and Indonesia, the beginnings of his political career in Chicago, his voting record in the Illinois legislature, his religious training and his adoption of Christianity through to his recent involvement in Kenyan politics, his political advisors and fundraising associates and his meteoric campaign for president, Jerome Corsi shows that an Obama presidency would, in his words, be “a repeat of the failed extremist politics that have characterized and plagued Democratic Party politics since the late 1960s.”

In this stunning and comprehensive new book, the reader will learn about: -Obama's extensive connections with Islam and radical politics, from his father and step-father's Islamic backgrounds, to his Communist and socialist mentors in Hawaii and Chicago, to his long-term and close associations with former Weather Underground heroes William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn—associations much closer than heretofore revealed by the press
-Barack and Michelle's 20-year-long religious affiliation with the black-liberation theology of former Trinity United Church of Christ Reverend Jeremiah Wright, whose sermons have always been steeped in a rage first expressed by Franz Fanon , Stokely Carmichael and Malcolm X, a rage that Corsi shows has deep meaning for Obama
-Obama's continuing connections with Kenya, the homeland of his father, through his support for the candidacy of Raila Odinga, the radical socialist presidential contender who came to power amid Islamist violence and church burnings
-Obama's involvement in the slum-landlord empire of the Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko, who helped to bankroll Obama's initial campaigns and to purchase of Barack and Michelle's dream-home property.
-the background and techniques of the Obama campaign's cult of personality, including the derivation of the words “hope” and change”
-Obama's far-left domestic policy, his controversial votes on abortion, his history of opposition to the Second Amendment, his determination to raise capital-gains taxes, his impractical plan to achieve universal health care, and his radical plan to tax Americans to fund a global-poverty-reduction program
-Obama's naive, anti-war, anti-nuclear foreign-policy, predicated on the reduction of the military, the eradication of nuclear weapons and an overconfidence in the power of his personality, as if belief in change alone could somehow transform international politics, achieve nuclear-weapons disarmament and withdrawal from Iraq without adverse consequences, for us, for the Iraqis or for Israel.

Meticulously researched and documented, THE OBAMA NATION is the definitive source for information on why and how Barack Obama must be defeated—not by invective and general attacks, but by detailed arguments that are well-researched and fact-based.

I understand there is a huge list of retractions, redactions and corrections that will be coming out in the next edition--unfortunately that won't be until after the election.

If you're stupid enough to believe the "researched facts" in this book, then you're not really looking for information. Don't waste your money unless you like propaganda or are desperate to find illegitimate reasons not to vote for Obama. This book is a joke and it's a shame that people can print anything they want.

We've heard Obama sugar-coat many aspects of his life, from his account of not having ever practiced Islam (not true) to his minimizing of his relationship with Bill Ayers (the terrorist), this book uncovers the myths coming out of the Democratic nominee's camp.

It is well-researched, even though the author is by his own admission a partisan who hopes Obama loses in November. If the truth is what the voter desires, this book should help him/her immensely.

This book is compelling reading-if your tastes run to lies and innuendo. If you are a right wing reactionary, you will most likely enjoy the author's distortion of the truth. If you are interested in a balanced and reasoned assessment of Mr. Obama's views and life, search elsewhere.

Read this to make yourself feel better if you don't like Barack Obama. Otherwise, save your money. Most of this book and much of what Mr. Corsi has written previously has been discredited. Again, if you want to support an already determined position, buy it. If you want factual, objective reading, stay away.
