Flagging as Interesting, Linking to Other Books
This is one of the better books making a case against a specific candidate, but it falls prey to the most common flaw in books of this kind: it completely overlooks the fact that even Jesus, or Gandhi, or George Patton, would fail as the presumptive "leader" of EITHER of the two criminal parties, but especially the Democratic party. Our political two party bi-opoly is a PIG long overdue for being killed. I believe Barack Obama to be one of the most intelligent candidates to aspire to the presidency, but he has also been unprincipled and too willing to pander. In my view, the ideal would be a new party created overnight, with McCain-Obama agreeing to a single term and Electoral Reform as their primary focus, along with fixing both the flood of secessionist movements and the financial fraud that came from bankers playing Russian roulette with mortgage payments highly leveraged. Here are links to a number of books that "circle" this one to provide the reader with additional context at no cost and in very brief time: Parties are Corrupt, Individual "Leaders" are Impotent: Running on Empty: How the Democratic and Republican Parties Are Bankrupting Our Future and What Americans Can Do About It Breach of Trust: How Washington Turns Outsiders Into Insiders The Broken Branch: How Congress Is Failing America and How to Get It Back on Track (Institutions of American Democracy) Other Books Against Obama: Obama - The Postmodern Coup The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate Books Showing Obama as the Author: Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream (Vintage) Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance Books Offering Hope for the DEATH of the two criminal parties: The Tao of Democracy: Using Co-Intelligence to Create a World That Works for All Society's Breakthrough!: Releasing Essential Wisdom and Virtue in All the People I am out of links, but if you are willing to search for the title: COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE: Creating a Prosperous World at Peace ELECTION 2008: Lipstick on the Pig Both books are offered on Amazon in hard-copy, and are also free online. I have NOT lost my faith in "the average American."Obama Unmasked
Much insight into the real Obama. Presented in clear easy to understand chapters. Facts about Obama that I am glad came to light before November. If you want to know the real Obama, read this book.Useful
Obama Unmasked is yet another recent addition to the combined onslaught of literature addressing the person and career of Barack Obama. It is not as sophisticated or as dispassionate as many of the other works out there, and I would get the Freddoso and Mendell books before purchasing this one. The authors take many chances in their analysis here and are not as objective as one would like. I say this even though I too am a conservative and would never vote for Obama under any circumstances. This text heavily relies on the biography penned by David Mendell for its substance, and does not provide any original research concerning its subject. I also was somewhat annoyed by all of its alternating text in bold as it created a bit of a "beats you over the head" approach. Its okay but others are much stronger.How Much Style--How Much Substance?
In OBAMA UNMASKED, Floyd Brown makes it clear that his book was never intended to be a fair and even-handed assessment of a man about whom America knows of but not in any detail. Those who are ready to trash any book solely on the basis of its ideology would do well to look beyond Brown's evident screed and judge the book on the merits of what is indisputable about Barack Obama. It is almost not to the point to accuse Obama of being a creation of a cabal of spin doctors, all of whom have a great deal more to say that is anti-Bush than pro-Obama. Every candidate today runs focus groups to judge how they and presumably the electorate will view that candidate. Brown's animus, however, lies in his belief that focus groups and spin are all there is to Obama. Once Brown makes his point that Obama is a construct, then the reader must decide whether this construct is as truly one-dimensional as Brown asserts. This, of course, is a fork in the road that each reader must choose. Whichever path the reader chooses, he is still left with the same charges made by other anti-Obama writers like Freddoso and Corsi, all of whom rely on words uttered by Obama on issues ranging from his stated desire to increase taxes across the board, appoint liberal judges to the judiciary, increase our reliance on the United Nations in matters of national defense, decrease the size of our armed forces so that our dependency on the good will of the United Nations is a given, and forbid off shore oil drilling so that our dependency on Arab oil will continue indefintely. For those who are justifiably sick of our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan to the point that they are willing to overlook the other agendas of Obama, they would do well to pay heed to a politician who is willing to outline his socialistic vision of an America that would be truly alien to all but the most radical of the Far Left. In OBAMA UNMASKED, Floyd Brown makes the case--however tortuously--that Barack Obama's plans for the future of the United States need no mask at all.Keyword : obama
