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.

 The Case Against Barack Obama September 6, 2008
The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite CandidateThis is an amazingly detailed and well documented book that traces Obama's history. The author relies on direct quotes and largely verifiable facts from publicly available sources. Contrary to the impression the title might convey, it is not a pure polemic against Obama, but a challenge to examine more closely this presidential candidate's life history, associations, influences, activities and political philosophy. Anyone considering voting for Obama should read this book before they cast their ballot and ask themselves about this man who has suddenly appeared on the national scene seeking the most powerful political office in the world: "Barack, how well do we really know ye?"

The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate
The Author notes his bias, but since I had previously read Dreams from my Father, I knew that the description of this Man's prejudices and hatreds were true.
Read, Read, Read, and our next President with not be prejudiced.
Quentin's Review September 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is a must read for anyone wanting to know the true facts about Barack Obama. The author has done a commendable job in researching the background of Barack Obama, particularly his time spent in South Chicago, his questionable friends, his padding the pockets of real estate developers, his voting record in the Illinois state Senate, and radical comments the Senator has made both in his writings and in speeches. Barack Obama's campaign rhetoric is much different than his "record", as David Freddoso brilliantly details in his book, "The case Against Barack Obama." If there is a negative side to the book, it is that Freddoso spends a little too much time with Obama's South Chicago experience, which drags the narrative and adds to boredom. Overall, it is a factual hard-hitting book.
 missing real teeth September 6, 2008
After all the excess from both parties, I thought this could be a fact finding guide to help me reflect on the Obama phenomenom. This isn't it. Instead it's just another biased report from yet another pundit. While both the left and the right manipulate for our vote, the book does offer some interesting background on the rise of the Senator often ignored by mainstream reporters. Senator Obama may be a brilliant orator for those hungry for a messiah like personality, but in truth, he's more a well marketed mouthpiece for special interests who always followed along party line. The book link the Senator to a few corrupt associates who made their fortune building affordable housing for the needy. Sounds all too familiar if you examine the history of the Daly political machine. I wish the book would have ignited greater insights but it just wasn't written that well and read more like a magazine piece.

When you are set to elect the man who will lead the country for four years it's important to learn everything you can about him. Since the mainstream media refuses to take a good look, this book will give you a close-up.
