Changed. My. Life.
This book was amazing! The best political expose since Do As I Say, Not As I Do: Profiles of Liberal Hypocrisy. Obama is the next Al Sharpton!!!
Propaganda
I didn't feel this book made a reasonable case against Barack Obama. It used speeches, opinions, and quotes from his political opponents to explain his unlikely rise and to look at his "unexamined agenda." Barack Obama poses some important questions to the nation, but they were not adequately addressed in this book.
Not much of a case, but a case none the less...
I think it was only about one week after John McCain had picked Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska for his VP, and reporters had already interviewed his next door neighbors cat, and dug through her trash, and found endless things to attack her on. Funny how Obama got the biggest pass the media has ever given anyone in politics.
David Freddoso's book is just a quick review of Obama as he made his way toward the Democratic candidacy. Mostly its just a review of his political work for ACORN, and in the IL Senate, and US Senate. It reveals a Barack Obama who is quite different from what the media has portrayed him as; a savior. So now he is president. Obama has 4 years to make his case now to the American people.
I wouldn't bother reading this book now since Obama is president and every day we have new revelations. I do find it strange though, that the media never made any attempt to learn anything about Barack Obama, other than what his capable media team wanted them to know. Why didn't the media interview his teachers, and friends from college? I knew Obama's girlfriend from high school through his first year at Occidental. Why didn't the media ever contact her? They found John McCain's Brazilian girlfriend that he met in Rio way back in 1957 and interviewed her. Funny how Obama got a pass on the girlfriends, the roomates, the drugs, etc. Sadly, Obama will come to disappoint in the next few years as nobody, and especially, not him, could ever live up to the expectations that his worshippers have of him. And I pity the fool who sets himself up as a false prophet.
Enlightening
I read the reviews on this book before purchasing it and saw both positive and negative reviews. As President Obama's presidency progresses and I see the actual "Change" he is bringing to Washington and politics, versus what he promised, the book gains creditability.
