The electoral tide is beginning to turn against the most radical extremist and most inexperienced candidate ever nominated by a major political party. Despite the attempt of the mainstream media to sell Sen. Barack Obama as a virtual Messiah, the truth is finally beginning to leak through to the public. That truth is devastating and should prove to be fatal to his candidacy, showing the would be Democratic Messiah to be a world-class phony and fraud. Four factors started turning the election around: * First, Sen. John McCain shifted to hard-hitting and relentless criticism in the last week, and in...

Going negative against Democrat Barack Obama isn't just a campaign strategy for Republican John McCain. It's also a good formula for selling books.

NEW YORK, (AP) -- Going negative against Democrat Barack Obama isn't just a campaign strategy for Republican John McCain. It's also a good formula for selling books. Three anti-Obama releases were in the top 20 of Amazon.com's best-seller list on Tuesday, despite little critical attention or mainstream media coverage. "There's a pent-up demand from people on the right side of the aisle who feel that the mainstream media is effusively covering Barack Obama and not critically covering him," . . .

Interview with David Freddoso, Author of 'The Case Against Barack Obama'by Michelle Oddis  Posted 08/04/2008 ET Updated 08/04/2008 ET Michelle Oddis: Dave, you’re a reporter, not a columnist. You’ve worked very hard to dig into the Obama story. You've said that you started reporting on Barack Obama in 2004. After all this research, what do you think is the most important thing people should know about Sen. Obama? David Freddoso: The main lesson is that Barack Obama’s record, throughout his career, demonstrates conclusively that he has never been a reformer, that this image of “change and hope” that he projects...

David Freddoso argues against the notion that Barack Obama lacks a track record, and says Republicans have missed the mark in arguing his inexperience. In his new book The Case Against Barack Obama, Freddoso says that Obama needs to run on the notion that he has no track record, because an examination of his actual work would reveal himself as a hard-Left idealogue instead of a reformer. Politico takes a look at Freddoso’s work: The first serious negative biography of Senator Barack Obama casts the Democratic nominee as a fake reformer and a real liberal. “The Case Against Barack Obama,”...

Today,The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate by David Freddoso will hit the shelves of book stores nationwide. In The Case Against Barack Obama , Freddoso explores the reality behind the rhetoric, the plans behind the promises, and the faults behind the...

The first book to take a critical look about Barack Obama is hitting the streets in 11 days. * * * * *Talk about presumptuous. Not content to wait for the verdict of the voters, Senator Barack Obama, who is not even the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party yet, has already directed his aides to begin making transition plans for the first 10 years (ha ha) of the Obama administration, Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic reports. Ambinder quotes an Obama campaign official as saying: "Barack is well aware of the complexity and the organizational challenge involved in the...

Misplaced Priorities A sweating Harry Reid thinks he's putting Tom Coburn on the hot seat. By David Freddoso While the top priority of most Americans — including a growing number of moderate Congressional Democrats — is legislative action on domestic oil exploration, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) wants the world’s greatest deliberative body to set aside concerns over skyrocketing energy prices to deal with such pressing issues as interstate pet-monkey sales, a botanical garden in Maryland, and the establishment of a committee to encourage celebration of the War of 1812 bicentennial. Reid’s cloture motion on a 35-bill package...

Dems’ Doublethink on Drilling Will the oil issue prove a gusher for the congressional GOP? By David Freddoso In the novel 1984, George Orwell used the word “doublethink” to describe the process of believing two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The concept invites an appropriate but superficial comparison to congressional Democrats’ current approach to gasoline prices. Idea Number One: High gasoline prices are good. A high price, imposed through federal carbon taxes or carbon caps, is precisely the mechanism by which Democrats hope to curb carbon emissions. We know that this mechanism works because it is already working: As gas prices rise,...

Book to 'dish dirt' on Obama From correspondents in Washington June 24, 2008 05:30am Article from: Agence France-Presse THE same publisher who helped to sink John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign plans a follow-up effort to dish dirt on this year's Democratic hopeful, Barack Obama. The Case Against Barack Obama by conservative journalist David Freddoso will offer an alternative to the media's "whitewashed" view of the Illinois senator, Regnery Publishing president Marjory Ross told Politico.com overnight. Ms Ross said the book was due out on August 4 - the same month in 2004 that he published Unfit for Command, a scathing...

The same publisher that distributed the 2004 best-seller that took aim at John Kerry’s Vietnam service is planning a summer release of what’s scheduled to be the first critical book on Barack Obama. Conservative journalist David Freddoso’s “The Case Against Barack Obama” will offer “a comprehensive, factual look at Obama,” according to Regnery Publishing president and publisher Marjory Ross. But the book’s subtitle makes clear its perspective: “The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate.” Ross contends that the mainstream media has offered insufficient scrutiny of Obama and likens the goal of Freddoso’s book to that of...

October 18, 2007, 7:30 a.m. How to Lose, Don YoungÂ’s WayA lesson of 2006: Purge now or pay later. By David Freddoso How can House Republican leaders stave off a rout in 2008? The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), responsible for electing Republican House members, had a pathetic $1.6 million in cash at the end of August. Republican retirements from the House continue to rack up, including several in vulnerable districts. The issues seem to be stacked against the GOP as Democrats exploit issues such as health care and the Iraq war. There has been talk of a few...
