Well, I’m finally done. No more quotes: the last parts of the book didn’t surprise me. Freddoso deals with Obama’s relationship with Jeremiah Wright, his view that “partial-birth abortion” ought to be considered a fundamental human right, and lays out the basic facts about Antoin Rezko. All well worth reading, even if not so quotable.
The Case Against Barack Obama will not convince you that Obama is the antichrist. It does not try to. Freddoso very careful avoids any such fearmongering. What he does do, however, is clearly demonstrate that Obama’s taglines of “Hope” and “Change we can believe in” are lies. Or at least that his political history doesn’t suggest that he’ll be any different from any other moneygrubbing, backscratching politician. From earmarking to voting “Present” on controversial issues (a staggering 130 times), Obama is no Mr. Smith. We have no reason to believe that Washington will be any better in 4 – 8 years, and I’m willing to wager that health care, unemployment, and poverty won’t have improved either.
Anyway, I recommend the book to all my fellow HPNers. If you want to borrow it, let me know. It’s an easy read, and I’m happy to make it the first entry in the communal HPN library. (See, Davey? I know how to share!)
I’ll read it if you read Audacity of Hope.
Deal. Let’s swap.
