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.

Useful December 31, 2008 I found the book useful but I knew most of the information already. It is a good read for someone that gets all their news from the biased mainstream news media.
An Interesting Read December 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
An interesting book, especially in light of the Illinois "pay for play" investigations that are currently going on. Written by a conservative author, he nonetheless dispels many of the outrageous lies about President-Elect Obama, while delving into the serious questions that surround his quick rise to the national scene. Great discussions about the Clintons, Chicago and Springfield "pinstripe patronage," Obama's agenda with regard to taxes, abortion, judges, the Iraq War, etc., his campaign and voting records.
Ultimately only three stars since I tend to take partisan writings as what they are: Partisan. I don't buy into the extremes of either party, but approach these types of books with a healthy skepticism. A good read nonetheless.
Should be read by everyone. December 26, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Very informative. Probably should have been read by every voter prior to voting. Didn't change my view, but still was very informative.
The Case Against Barack Obama December 1, 2008 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
After reading this book, I don't 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!
Numerous inaccuracies November 28, 2008 3 out of 25 found this review helpful
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. I'm glad Obama won the presidency.
