You Don't Know Barack Obama Until You Read This Book 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. In The Case
Against Barack Obama, you'll learn: * How Barack
Obama opposed a bill banning infanticide-by-neglect-a
stance too extreme even for Nancy Pelosi. (Freddoso has an
exclusive interview with the nurse central to the case.)
* How Obama's friendship with the Reverend Jeremiah
Wright was no accident, but a carefully thought-out
personal and political decision* Why Obama thought
his association with the Reverend Wright and the terrorist
Bill Ayers wouldn't matter-an exposé of the insular
radical chic of Chicago's Hyde Parkpolitics * What
Obama really did for convicted developer Tony
Rezko* Debunking the myth of Obama's "new" politics:
the forgotten tale of how Obama won his first election by
throwing all of his competitors off the ballot * A
story Obama would like to stay buried in Chicago: how he
used his clout as a U.S. senator to save the corrupt Cook
County Political Machine when reformers of both parties
tried to challenge the entrenched political bosses*
How Obama has repeatedly steered taxpayer money to
campaign donors 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. More
