THE CASE AGAINST BARACK OBAMA The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate

David Freddoso puts together Obama's voting record, established personal and political ties, and recorded words to paint the Democrat as a tool of the liberal Chicago political machine. He doesn't, however, offer much in the way of new material on the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Nick Summers presents the text in a conversational tone more evocative of dinner table conversation than an O'Reilly rant. Never raising his voice, Summers persuades by inviting the listener into the story he tells. His calm, confident speech does more to convince than Freddoso's sometimes strident text. The title alone identifies this work as an extended political editorial, and the book will not disappoint listeners looking for exactly that.
