The Case Against Barack Obama

The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate

巴拉克奥巴马的反面案例

媒体宠儿候选人的不实拔高和经不起检验的历程

内容简介

他是媒体的情人，民主党选票的新面孔。但是，什么是巴拉克奥巴马实际代表的？他的极端自由主义经历和全球事务的无经验是否会危及国家？那就是David Freddoso，深度调查记者和国家评论在线专栏作家，在《巴拉克奥巴马的反面案例》中所检查的。在这一冲击性的曝光中，Freddoso探索了词藻背后的实情、许诺背后的计划和门面后的错误，披露了：

为什么奥巴马的缺乏经验和极左投票记录比我们今天所面对的任何威胁更危险？

为什么赖特牧师的崩溃披露了奥巴马对于性格和欺骗本质的贫乏判断力？

为什么总统奥巴马不是变革政治，而是一贯的自由政治？

Freddoso曝光了实际的奥巴马：一个典型的大政府政客、美国参议员中的1号自由派、以及国家安全的严重威胁假设他成为总司令的话。

抽丝剥茧。

除非你读过这本书，否则你不会了解巴拉克奥巴马。

存在比巴拉克奥巴马受到更少检查的美国总统主要候选人吗？他是谁？谁在2004年才当选美国参议员？

政绩记录乏善可陈的某人是如何成为民主党总统被提名人的？

与前恐怖分子、种族主义牧师和芝加哥政治机器腐败操作者有着长期联系的某人如何最终出作为更新的、更干净的、多元政治的假设灯塔的？

深度调查记者David Freddoso给出了答案。做了主流媒体已经忽略掉的走访、在这些媒体在奥巴马弥赛亚前眩晕时采用了批判的眼光、并且摆出了奥巴马需要回答的难度问题。Freddoso揭露了一个向其他人一样算计的政客、一个不顾堕胎权支持事实杀婴的极左民主党人、其新政治充满了镀上崇高词藻的芝加哥式强硬、以及一个用所处位置的权力帮助赞助者的人。

在《巴拉克奥巴马的反面案例》一书中，你可以了解到：

巴拉克奥巴马如何反对一项制止疏忽杀婴的预算，一种即使对于Nancy Pelosi（民主党籍国会议长）也算极端的姿态。（对这个案例Freddoso和护理中心有一个全面的访谈）？

奥巴马和Jeremiah Wright牧师的友谊如何不是偶然的，而是经过仔细考虑的个人与政治决定？

为什么奥巴马认为他与Wright牧师和恐怖分子Bill Ayers的联盟无关紧要，对芝加哥海德公园政治孤岛式激进时髦的一次揭露。

奥巴马为犯罪开发商Tony Rezko实际做了什么？

拆穿奥巴马新政治的假象：那个奥巴马如何通过将所有对手抡出投票薄从而赢得首次选举胜利的被遗忘的故事。

一个奥巴马宁愿在芝加哥就地掩埋的故事：当两党的改革者试图挑战画地为牢的政治首领时，他如何利用国会议员的影响力挽救腐败的Cook郡政治机器。

奥巴马如何反复操纵纳税人的资金流向竞选捐助人。

严肃、公正以和透彻研究，因而更加强有力和更刺激。

《巴拉克奥巴马的反面案例》剥去了一个比主力媒体让你知道的更不称职、更激进的人的光环。

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 exposé, Freddoso explores the reality behind the rhetoric, the plans behind the promises, and the faults behind the façade, 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.

From the Inside Flap

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 Park politics

* 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.
