The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate by David Freddoso
In years to come it will be interesting to review how Obama received his share of contributions from those who contributed to the Meltdown. The book is a mild attack if that, at a time when several books were coming out swinging wildly. Read it again in 4 years, 8 years, see what it had to say that might havve predicted how his presidency came out.
The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate by David Freddoso
The work sets out a conservative agenda against Obama; however, the issues raised by the volume are of concern to a more general audience, and, are of value to anyone supporting basic Constitutional concepts who seek to bolster the Constitution and are from diverse political backgrounds.
The work strives to not only make a political but an informed and reasonable critique of Obama's failures. After eight years of Obama's penguin it should be more obvious and yet he has his supporters.

The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate by David Freddoso
The Case Against Barack Obama is a one-sided diatribe written by the National Review Online political reporter, David Freddoso. But it is a captivating chronology of Obama’s career, presenting the history of his meteoric rise to fame as an obscure newcomer who now stands on the threshold of claiming the number one prize in American politics, President of the United States.
Freddoso cleverly provides insinuations that attempt to have the reader draw one conclusion: Barack Obama exercises show more poor judgment in the selection of his friends and supporters. “By what criteria does a man choose his friends and end up with the likes of Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, and Bill Ayers?” Rezko is a convicted criminal for bribery of public officials, Ayers is an underground bomber terrorist who routinely professes hatred for his country, and Reverend Wright was made famous earlier this year for his stark anti-American comments. Freddoso continues:
“It’s not that Barack Obama is a bad person. It’s just that he’s like all the rest of them. Not a reformer. Not a Messiah . . . Obama’s radical ties don’t make him a radical. His ties to Communists don’t make him a Communist. His ties to a terrorist do not make him a terrorist. But his continued relationships with radicals throughout his public life show an important influence in Obama’s public career…”
Also, as Freddoso continually points out, when people are confronted with the facts, they still defend Obama by saying his relationships were all in the past. Many people support his philosophy from his two books. However, when asked if they had read his books, the response is usually no. His followers take cues from publicity and commentators who try and depict Barack Obama as they would like to see him. The Case Against Barack Obama presents an opposite viewpoint. To be fair, before you cast your ballot, read this book and Obama’s books, The Audacity of Hope (2006) and Dreams from My Father (1995). A careful analysis of any candidate may possibly persuade you to vote the other way. show less
