About this product

Product Information

Obama a Lefty, Not a Reformer The first serious negative biography of Senator Barack Obama casts the Democratic nominee as a fake reformer and a real liberal. The Case Against Barack Obama by National Review's David Freddoso, blasts Obama for failing to take on the Chicago machine, for listening to "radical advisors," and for backing "doctrinaire liberal" causes from teachers unions to abortion rights. It does not, however, compare him to Paris Hilton, or dwell at length on his religion or race - making the substance of The Case Against Barack Obama sound a bit unfamiliar amid a campaign cacophony of hyperbolic web ads, alleged race cards, and viral smears. Freddoso says John McCain's campaign and Republicans at large are making the wrong case against the Illinois senator. "I don't think you beat Obama by saying that he's Paris Hilton," said Freddoso, a reporter for the conservative magazine National Review, referring to McCain's latest advertising campaign. "The more important thing is really to look at is he who he says he is? Is he really this great reformer?" Freddoso's book, released today by the conservative publishing house Regnery and provided exclusively to Politico by the publisher, occupies a small island in the often-shrill sea of criticism of Obama. As a range of conservatives suggest that Obama is a closet radical, and as McCain's campaign aims to disqualify him from the White House on the grounds of his international fame, Freddoso makes a case that conservatives should look at the presumptive Democratic nominee's record. His thesis: "It's not that Obama is a bad person. It's just that he's like all the rest of them. Not a reformer. Not a Messiah. Just like all the rest of them in Washington. And just like all the other liberals too." Freddoso's is one of two new books harshly attacking Obama. The other, by Jerome Corsi, reportedly covers some of the same territory as the viral emails that have plagued the Democratic candidate, making much of his slender connections to Islam and his teenage drug use. Freddoso opts largely for a fact-based critique, and writes that the viral and overt smears have allowed Obama to evade substantive criticism. "Too many of those criticizing Obama have been content merely to slander him," he writes. False rumors about Obama's religion and ancestry have produced, Freddoso writes, "an intellectual laziness among the very people who should be carefully scrutinizing Obama." His book comes with Republican popularity at a historic low, amid widespread disenchantment with Republican ideals of limited government and hawkish foreign policy. Many - including, apparently, McCain's strategists - doubt a Republican can win a policy face-off. But as the real campaign hones in on the character of the candidates, Freddoso's book attempts to build an alternate case against Obama. Freddoso's argument begins in Chicago....Though Obama's first political steps were in Hyde Park's reformist politics, Freddoso focuses on the smooth accommodation he made to the machine....

Interesting
A good picture of where Barack Obama came from, the reasons he rose to power and the truth about his dealings with less than honest individuals. The reasons behind the "worshiping of him" by Democrats and their bias in covering him. The author seems credible and knowledgeable.

A must read 4 anyone on the fence regarding 08 election
I could not put this book down.Every question and concern I have had about Barack Hussein Obama was answered in this book,and more.I followed up what I read,doing research to see for myself of authenticity of facts. I am a female Independant voter,open to both sides.Was a Hillary supporter. People need to try to keep an open mind,based only on each presidential nominees real experience.I have asked myself,'who loves this country so much?Who would without a doubt give their life for this country of ours'? Now 'I' know without a doubt,and through example,it would 'NOT' be Obama. This book helped me not be caught up in the whole media/racial bias retoric.The book is straight forward,non-biased,informative and educational. A must read for anyone on the fence regarding thier vote for the 2008 presidential election.With our USA's serious issues being faced,this non-biased book I believe will help anyone make a educated decision 'for or against' this presidential candidate. I am still stunned by what I read.Read full review

WELL DOCUMENTED!
A very good book for anyone on the left or the right.. A book revealing Obama's past in Chicago and his political rise. Freddoso made this book not to accuse Obama of all "muslim" or "terrorist" type of mess accusations. Its just a book bringing out the truth of Obama being radical and not a reformer at all. Just another politician saying anything to protect and win votes. This book will give you an eye opener for the next 4 years! GREAT BOOK!!

What are we thinking?
This book should be a must read for every person of voting age in this country. It is concise and each has been researched and documented. Talk about buying a pig in a poke, this country has allowed itself to be led by people with a vested interest in the outcome of this election while we, the people, know virtually nothing about this man. It is frighting and that is the minimum adjective when you realize that we are on the verge of electing someone whose true character has been so completely masked from us. I bought this book to see what was the other side to Barack Obama and the other side is not a pretty picture. If you want to know the "Rest of the Story" read this book!

The Truth is Out There
This book is an important addition to the uninformed voter's knowledge on one of the candidates running for our nation's highest office. After reading this book, there should be no doubt that Barak Hussein Obama is unfit to be President. Wonderfully indepth look at his associations with un-American sentimented people, and ties to the Middle East. It is no wonder why other countries are cheering about Barak Hussein Obama running - they will be deeply in his pockets as evidenced by their campaign contributions to date. The U.S. does not need socialism, marxism, or communism at this time of trouble. Additionally, the U.S. does not need a President that does not know whether he is a Muslim or a Christian. Book is a must read.
