    <body><![CDATA[Anyone planning to vote for Obama, or still unsure who to vote for, should read this book. It is long on factual statements -- that can be proven true or false -- and short on editorial opinion. The author makes a convincing case that Obama's record does not match the image he has presented in his p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34971401">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[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 <em>National Review Online</em> columnist, examines in <em>The Case Against Barack Obama</em>. In this shocking exposé, Freddoso explores the reality behind the rhetoric, the plans behind the promises, and the faults behind the façade, revealing:    <p>* Why Obama's inexperience and extreme left-wing voting record is more dangerous than any threat we face today  <br/>* Why the Rev. Wright debacle reveals Obama's poor judgment of character and deceitful nature   <br/>* Why it won't be politics of change with President Obama--it will be liberal politics  as usual    <p>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.</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Barack Obama is intelligent.  He is a truely gifted speaker.  I believe he is a good husband and father.  I also believe he is intricately involved in the shady Chicago political machine and, like many other politicians, he says whatever he is supposed to say to get campaign funds and votes.

    <![CDATA[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 <em>National Review Online</em> columnist, examines in <em>The Case Against Barack Obama</em>. In this shocking exposé, Freddoso explores the reality behind the rhetoric, the plans behind the promises, and the faults behind the façade, revealing:    <p>* Why Obama's inexperience and extreme left-wing voting record is more dangerous than any threat we face today  <br/>* Why the Rev. Wright debacle reveals Obama's poor judgment of character and deceitful nature   <br/>* Why it won't be politics of change with President Obama--it will be liberal politics  as usual    <p>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.</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a very good book whether you are pro-obama or not. <br/><br/>I dont think a person can really know this man until they read this book. It will tell you his voting record and a lot of other information about his true views on things. <br/><br/>It dispels a lot of the smears and myths abou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37243793">more...</a>]]></body>
