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.
