The Case Against Barack Obama, by David Freddoso, Regnery, $27.95, 290 pages
There is a case against Barack Obama -- a good one -- and according to David Freddoso, it’s a prima facie case.
Beginning with one of the most thorough examinations of the utterly corrupt Chicago political machine that gave birth to Obama’s political life, Freddoso, a reporter at National Review, moves on to explore the messianic image Obama has created for himself, and which a worshipping media evangelizes.

He quotes the Chicago Tribune’s John Kass’ description of Obama as ward heeler: the kind who “won't make no waves and won't back no losers.”
He follows Obama as he wends his way through the twisted labyrinth of Chicago machine politics, showing how he won his first elected office as a member of the state Senate by coldly driving his opponents off the electoral ballot by using minor technicalities to a disqualify them. Obama, the man of the people, ran unopposed.
To make his point about the absurd lengths Obama’s disciples will go in proclaiming the arrival of what he calls the Obamessiah, Freddoso cites this gem from the Obama-smitten singer-songwriter Lili Haydn, who proclaims that “Barack Obama is inspiring us like a desert lover, a Washington Valentino … [C]ouples all over America are making love again and shouting ‘yes we can’ as they climax.”
One of the more shocking episodes of the pro-abortion Obama’s career that Freddoso examines was his callous refusal to support the so-called “born alive” bill, which would have required that babies who survived an attempt to kill them as they emerged from their mother’s womb must be treated as newborns and kept alive.
Writes the author, "Obama is one of the very few pro-choice advocates who accepts no restrictions on late-term abortions or any kind of abortions. I could find no instance in his entire career in which he voted for any regulation or restriction in the practice of abortion.”
Freddoso also digs deep into the matter of Obama’s shady connections to now-convicted Tony Rezko, a heavy contributor to his political campaigns. He also details Obama's extensive ties to convicted domestic bomber William Ayers.
He concludes that while “Obama is not a bad person – it’s just that he's like all the rest of them. Not a reformer. Not a messiah. Just like all the rest of them in Washington. And just like all the other liberals, too.”
The Obama we meet in the pages of “The Case Against Barack Obama” is not the Obama both he and his acolytes in the national media would like us to believe he is. He is simply the product of his background as a far-left liberal, and the product and willing cooperator of one of America’s most corrupt political machines.
Case closed.
