Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

In the shocking political expose The Audacity of Deceit, you'll learn about Barack Obama's plans to "change" our country and your life by...

• Raising taxes from the low rate of 28% under Ronald Reagan to economy-destroying 60% rate under Herbert Hoover.
• Handing out Federal medical insurance to more than 12 million aliens, and increasing emergency room costs by $15.4 billion annually.
• Appointing ultra-liberal, anti-business Supreme Court judges who would reverse the ruling that bans partial birth abortion, and the ruling that confirms the Second Amendment is an individual right.
• Would take 25% of farmland out of production to satisfy environmental lobbyists, causing increased food costs and worldwide food shortages.
• Implementing a "zero to five" program designed to transfer infant and child raising responsibilities for children under five from parents to the federal government.
• Establishing a government agency to approve what types of medical procedures and operations senior citizens are permitted to have.
• Increasing the liberal majority in Congress by allowing felons to vote.
• Waging a trade war that would eliminate 10 million American jobs and re-establish the tariff system implemented by Herbert Hoover.

As a state senator, Obama...

• Supported withholding emergency medical aid for babies who survive an abortion.

Barack Obama may be desperately tacking towards the middle in order to attract voters, but as The Audacity of Deceit proves, his real beliefs are not those of the majority of Americans.

3.0 out of 5 stars Insightful but lacking, June 25, 2009

By 

Bryan E. Hadro - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values (Hardcover)

First off I'm a conservative, and post-election I read this book in addendum to reading the 'Audacity of Hope' to get more an idea of what our new president is about. I found this book to be informative and bring up many good points (none of which I found to involve cheap shots or racism which other reviewers have insinuated). And the author O'Leary is very clear of his attack dog stance from the opening cover. Some of the beneficial arguments were: why Obama's energy plans are idealistic and won't work, why socializing healthcare will hurt everyone, and why Obama's shady political associations (of which the author sheds light on many - both likely associations and proven ones) DO matter. Important as all these issues might be, unfortunately I found the book simply lacked the ability to clearly and consistently present both pro/con views and weave all the issues into once concise argument. Thus I think it fails in its ultimate goal as of convincing either moderates or liberals. This may in part be due to the fact this book was a "rush job" which (I believe) was pushed out the door to be made available before the election. Whatever the book lacks however, as these are issues that everyone should be aware of, this is a book that everyone should read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deal with these issues before it is too late, September 9, 2008

By

This review is from: The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values (Hardcover)

I was pleasantly pleased to discover that despite the title, this book is not so much about Barack Obama, the person (though that is covered), but is largely about the policies advocated by Barack Obama and what implementing those policies might do to our country. Succinctly put, Obama believes that all our social ills can be solved by bigger government taxing producers more heavily to re-distribute money to those who do not produce. Although it is difficult to tell what Obama's position is as he changes them to fit the need, from his speeches and writing we can see that Obama is:

* Against the second amendment and the right to own firearms.
* For late term or any abortion
* For allowing felons to vote
* For raising taxes on income of any sort
* For giving away a trillion dollars in the Global Poverty Act
* For social spending increases from welfare to mortgage relief
* Against drilling, coal, or nuclear power and for high gas prices
* Against free trade
* For a liberal Supreme Court
* For government run health care
* For drastically reducing the military

These policies follow ultra-liberal trends in every respect. They are a return to Jimmy Carter and even to Herbert Hoover, whose policies in a similar situation greatly prolonged the effects of the Great Depression. As the author deals with all these issues he also presents facts that are uncommonly known about our country. Did you know, for example, that the US has 1.84 Trillion barrels of oil in proven reserves, including oil shale and coal, where the rest of the world combined has 951 billion? That's PROVEN reserves. We know they are there. Did you know the top ten percent of household pay 70% of the taxes and that 30% of households pay no taxes whatsoever?

There should be no doubt where Obama stands on any of these issues, but for those who would like to analyze how closely Obama comes to their own beliefs, O'Leary provided the `Barack Obama test,' a 40 question test asking for your beliefs and comparing them to Obama's. I don't think amazon allows links in a review, so the test is at barackobamatest-dot-com.

All these policies are Socialist in nature, which should come as no surprise since Obama has immersed himself in Socialism his entire life,. As a child he was influenced by his Socialist, if not Communist, parents and family friends, such as Frank Marshall Davis, the Communist poet in Hawaii. As an adult he has associated with a string of characters on the Far Left. William Ayers, the Pentagon bomber; Jeremiah Wright, the Black Liberation philosophy preacher; Tony Rezko, the convicted felon who reaped millions of dollars in housing projects. There are a lot more, and in every case they are people on the Far Left who want to completely tear down the American Capitalist system, the religious values of the majority of Americans, and, indeed, the entire social structure.

In effect, this election is a battle in the Culture War between Traditionalists who uphold Judeo-Christian values, believe in the Ten Commandments, believe in personal opportunity and responsibility, in economic liberty and property rights juxtaposed by far left Socialism which believes big government, less personal freedom, and cultural relativism are the right way to form a society. There is a great article over at American Thinker that covers this issue more widely. In effect, this is the Woodstock anti-Vietnam generation's bid for power. The `Audacity of Deceit' provides a catalogue of the Far Left beliefs that are driving Obama's campaign. Read it before it is too late.

I was lucky enough to secure an advance copy of this book directly from the publisher, which only came out today. I got my copy last Friday and read it over the weekend. In other words, it is pretty well impossible for there to be extensive reviews on the book. That begs the question of whether 'reviewers' and commentors have actually read the text. I think you should take a good strong look at these reviewers and ask yourself: Is the 'reviewer' reviewing the book itself after having read it fully? Or is he or she making a political statement while still ignorant of the contents? If you say this book is 'full of lies' you are fooling yourself. Of course, maybe you want America to turn socialist. I don't

5.0 out of 5 stars More a primer on how to run a dumb campaign, July 27, 2009

By 

J. Adams "History buff" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values (Hardcover)

While most of this info was available to the general public during the campaign, it is obvious that even with the mass media dedicated to elect Obama that the McCain campaign was run by complete incompetents who had no idea of what it would take to run against a true believer of Saul Alinsky who knew how to lie through his teeth while running against a guy whose "honor code" prevented him from running a campaigen to deal with the Obama history of deceit.
every chapter of this book would have made a great campaign commercial for McCain, but the guys running his campaign were crminally negligent in refusing to expose Obama's socialist agenda.
