America is being tested in a way that she has never been tested before. Since taking the oath of office in January 2009, President Barack Obama has cheered our enemies and demoralized our allies. He is hard at work “remaking” America by destroying the free-market system and nationalizing major segments of our economy, demonizing dissent and restricting freedom of speech, turning against our longtime friends, and above all, subjecting us to the determinations of foreign authorities. In this timely and urgent battle cry, Pamela Geller, founder of the widely popular website AtlasShrugs.com, and bestselling author Robert Spencer team up to expose the Obama administration’s destructive agenda—largely ignored by the mainstream media—and rally Americans to protect the sovereignty of a country that is under siege. Geller and Spencer critically examine the Obama administration’s ominous and revealing moves against our basic freedoms, particularly as he seizes control of the three engines of the American economy: health care, energy, and education. The Post-American Presidency is a vital guide to helping conservatives prepare for the tough battles ahead.

Review
--David Horowitz, author of "Radical Son"
"In "The Post-American Presidency", Pamela Geller shines her laser on President Barack Obama - his life, his values, his friends and his perceptions of the country he leads. What she reports will disturb not only every American who believes in that America is the Shining City on the Hill and that the American people are what Abraham Lincoln referred to as 'the almost chosen people.' It should also disturb people around the world who recognize that the international system stops working when the American Atlas shirks the burden of its uniqueness."
--Caroline Glick, author of "The Shackled Warrior"
"Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer are two of the most incisive analysts of events at home and abroad, and you could not ask for better guides to where 'hope, ' 'change' and czars are taking us - and what Americans can do about it."
--Mark Steyn, "New York Times" bestselling author of "America Alone"
"Sheer brilliance! Sharp, well-written and to-the-point. The ultimate patriot's handbook. Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer lay bare Barack Hussein Obama's radical agenda and how to stop it. No true American's library will be complete without this book."
--Brad Thor, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "Foreign Influence"
"This book is a chilling analysis of how the policy of President Barack Obama is chipping away at the very foundation of America's leading role in the world. It exposes his philosophy of near universal 'moral equivalency' a philosophy that is a dead ringer for the cultural relativism that has been poisoning Europe for the past decades. America is the last man standing and it is vital that the people of Europe adopt the attitude of proud American citizens and learn that it is not shameful to be proud of one's heritage. This book is incredibly fascinating and at the same time holds a deeply disturbing message we should all take to heart."
--Geert Wilders, Dutch MP
"With their characteristic attention to detail, clarity and fearlessness, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer assay the wreckage. "The Post-American Presidency "is must reading for every concerned American who needs to know why we're in this perilous moment, and where we're headed if we don't take our exceptional country back."
--Andrew C. McCarthy, "National Review" legal affairs editor, author of "Willful Blindness"
“Barack Obama is the most radical individual ever to occupy the White House. This excellent book by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer explains exactly what that means and why its implications are fraught with such dangers for this great Republic.”

Pamela Geller is the founder, editor and publisher of The Geller Report and President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and Stop Islamization of America (SIOA). She is the author of Fatwa: Hunted in America (foreword by Geert Wilders) (Dangerous Books), The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America (foreword by Ambassador John Bolton) (Simon & Schuster) and Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance (WND Books). She is also a regular columnist for numerous publications.
Geller's activism on behalf of human rights has won international notice. She is a foremost defender of the freedom of speech against attempts to force the West to accept Sharia blasphemy laws, and against Sharia self-censorship by Western media outlets. Her First Amendment lawsuits filed nationwide have rolled back attempts to limit Americans' free speech rights and limit speech to only one political perspective, and exposed attempts to make an end-run around the First Amendment by illegitimately restricting access to public fora. Her free speech event in Garland, Texas led to the capture or killing of several murderous jihadists, smoking out terror cells, leading to an increase in the threat level to BRAVO and to the consequent arrests of jihadists in several states.
Pamela Geller has been the subject of a profile on 60 Minutes, and of cover stories in the Sunday New York Times Metro section and the UK's Independent. The Times also published an in-depth interview with her. She has made appearances on NBC Nightly News, ABC, CNN, AP, Reuters, the Sean Hannity Show, the Bill O’Reilly Show, Red Eye, Geraldo, the Mike Huckabee show, and other shows on the Fox News channel. She has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Village Voice, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph.
Geller’s articles and op-eds have been published in Time Magazine, the Guardian, Commentary Magazine, Fox News, The Washington Times, Breitbart News, The Hill, Human Events, The American Thinker, Newsmax, Pajamas Media, Israel National News, World Net Daily, FrontPage magazine, New Media Journal, and Canada Free Press, among other publications.
Geller has also led awareness campaigns in U.S., Europe, and Israel on behalf of the victims and potential victims of honor killing, for the human rights of apostates from Islam, for the freedom of speech, and more. She has placed ads nationwide on buses, taxicabs, billboards, and in subway stations, calling attention to the plight of victims of Sharia and countering the deceptive and misleading ad campaigns of the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Islamic supremacist groups.
In May 2013, she was awarded the Guardian of Freedom award by the Nassau County Federation of Republican Women. The Queens Village Republican Club, the oldest Republican club in America, honored Pamela Geller as the “American Patriot of the Year” in February 2013. That same month, the Creative Zionist Coalition gave her the Queen Esther Award for Jewish Heroism. Pamela Geller also received the Annie Taylor Award for Courage in 2010 from the David Horowitz Freedom Center. In October 2011, the United States Marine Corps presented her with the flag flown on September 11, 2011 over Camp Leatherneck, "amid the battlefields of Afghanistan during decisive operations against enemy forces in Helmand Province."
Geller is a frequent guest on talk radio and has regular segments on two radio shows, The Jaz McKay Show and Jamie Allman In the Morning. Geller has been a featured speaker at the David Horowitz Freedom Center's Restoration Weekend and at numerous Tea Party and pro-freedom events across the nation.
Pamela Geller has broken numerous important stories -- notably the questionable and illegal foreign sources of some of the financing of the Obama campaign , the anti-Semitic posts on Obama's website, Obama's political organizing in public school classrooms, ACORN's destruction of Republican voter registrations, and many more, but perhaps she is best known for her leadership of the nationwide campaign against the Ground Zero mosque and her groundbreaking ad campaigns challenging jihad and sharia in the marketplace of ideas.
Pamela Geller began her publishing career at The New York Daily News and subsequently took over operation of The New York Observer as Associate Publisher.

Now to those crimes. On page 44, the “cartoon riots” of 2006 led to ridiculous Internationalism in the UN. The 57 nation Organization of the Islamic Conference, “the largest voting bloc at the United Nations,” applied Islamic standards of restricted speech that Obama put into place in our intelligence agencies. These same “racist” restrictions are overrunning Germany and England and France, etc. right now. At least Trump was able to use the language of “radical Islamic terrorism” to the advantage of his campaign and the detriment of Obama’s “legacy”. The EU and the UN were better places for Obama’s employment, not the White House. Like rapper Rick Ross, OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu’s presence at the White House signified anarchy instead of order, tribal values instead of law or unity.
See if this sounds familiar in places like Chicago, Ferguson, Oakland, Milwaukee, Baltimore, Charlotte, San Jose, and Ferguson again, riotous cities once Obama was re-elected and free to orchestrate his anarchy. In Kenya, on page 71, the story is told of Raila Odinga, a politician running for office with the coincidental support of area Muslim groups and, of course, Barack Obama. Odinga loses. Then: “Amid widespread charges that [the other guy] had stolen the election, Odinga supporters staged bloody reprisals, killing 700 and displacing 250,000 within a month after the election …. Two hundred people were burned alive when Odinga supporters torched a church.” Geller and Spencer did not know it yet, but these violent, chaotic actions in Kenya were about to be orchestrated on an American scale, and of course they were manufactured: Darren Wilson lives underground fearing for his life for being a good cop, a white cop, as a city is destroyed on national TV, twice. Baltimore riots are encouraged by a black mayor and her “space to destroy”. After she and her helpless state’s attorney Mosby try to crucify law and order as part of their race baiting, even when only the “victim” fit a race baiting profile, Mayor Rawlings-Blake is at the DNC counting delegates, promoted no doubt for anarchy and incompetence, and other factors. Black Lives Matter becomes a terrorist group, chanting for dead cops and communicating threats at an unprecedented level, for this country, which was civilized at least before the Community Organizer took over. A Trump rally is cancelled because of violence in Chicago. Trump supporters are violently attacked in various northern California cities. Conservative speakers like Ann Coulter, Ben Shapiro, and Heather MacDonald are prevented from speaking. Charles Murray defenders are attacked as Murray is ushered to his own safety. Police officers are ambushed and killed in Dallas and Louisiana (and Philadelphia and St. Louis and New York city, etc.). The University of Missouri system has its leaders fired over staged events. Granted the death toll comparison does not compare at all, hardly, but that is only because the USA and Kenya do not compare, thankfully. Clearly, Obama had his relative influence in both cases. He became a veritable arsonist of hate crimes for political gain.
On page 85, the Gaza connection is made. Collusion if Special Counsel and Capitol Hill were so inclined to "be racist" and actually examine the terrorist nature of their new president. Monir Edwan gave the Obama campaign $25 K. Hamas funded Obama. They got what they wanted in return, surely.
“Then There is Obama Himself” begins on page 96. The book says that Obama’s own quotes from Dreams of His Daddy were removed from his own website, Organizing for America. The anti-Semitic comments remained: “Jews owe Africa and Africans everything they have today because if Africa did not shelter them when they were homeless and starving they would not be here today.” Like others in this country who gave Obama all possible passes as examples of their moral imperative, not his, American Jews continued to support him. The website more insidiously supported views from Richard Falk of Princeton that Nazi-fied Israel. Obama supported the Islamists who supported him even when they were shelling missiles at Israel and, worse, portrayed Israel as the aggressors who needed to concede ground.
What may put the cherry on top for Israel was Valerie Jarrett's presence at the 46th Annual Convention of the Islamic Society of North America. She may as well have attended with Goebbels and Himmler (and David Duke) for all the Holocaust approval going down. This brings to mind another interesting match to come from the “Obama legacy”: Hillary Clinton on stage with Jay Z.
Obama and Biden, later in the book, discuss how the majority of the Taliban are moderate members. On page 184, Obama panders to Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi, he who approves suicide bombing. On page 207, he calls the US a "muslim country". Clearly, he wishes; this is like Bush's use of the word "recruitaments". On page 203-205, he praises the Muslim contribution to our history. This is incorrect on every conceivable level and angle and attempt at equivocation. I suppose we have a lot of Muslims to blame for systematic slavery from the Founding Fathers and from the antebellum South. Thanks to that glorious Muslim Charles Lindbergh. Did we know that Theodore Roosevelt prayed to Mecca 5 times a day? Women's suffrage was almost entirely the act of women wearing their hijabs. On second thought, no wonder Henry Ford hated Jews; thanks to Obama, now we know Ford was a Muslim who invented assembly lines for machines, just not for jihad.
The book ends, basically, with some very insightful words about Net Neutrality. Unfortunately, I am waiting for the day when all of the internet functions like the comment censors at Facebook. If conservatives lose the internet, they'll have to resort to being Dostoevsky's Underground Man. At least we all know now what it was like to be "organized". Talk about irony.
This book is an excellent reflection of both. It diagrams the path of President Obama showing a world view consistent with both his upbringing, his environment and his education, all of which tend to separate him from mainstream opinion.
For one who has followed this administration a lot of this information will not be new, for others it will be an eye opener painstakingly showing the path that he is on. It will show time and time again how his decisions, worldview and basic instincts are totally inconsistent with mainstream American cultural opinion and belief.
Although much is made of the president's own influences and beliefs it is worth noting that there is a large cast of supporting characters who do not have the president's background but still have those same beliefs inconsistent with either American exceptional-ism or the values of the country and its founding principles. It is that supporting cast more than the president himself that is actually the most significant because of the decisions made on that lower level affecting millions. I think the thesis of the book would have been advanced more if that supporting cast was emphasized more. Not that the many Marxist type in the admin are not highlighted it that they seem ancillary rather than the significant players that they are.
A second weakness is the focus on both Islam and Israel. Both are a significant part of the president's belief system and they are certainly worth attention but I think Pamela presses this issue harder than she should in the book. This is likely due to the focus of the blog, but for the purpose of the books thesis I think the amount of time she gives to the issues of sympathy and even deference to Islam and animosity to Israel and Jews is excessive. I found it really slowed down the center of the book.
With those two caveats the book makes its case pretty well. Although from the background given the surprise would be if the president WAS more culturally American. With the environment and the beliefs of the people around him, how could he be anything else?
The biggest Irony? His actions since this book has been published have been even more consistent with the thesis, as if more help was needed.
A great first effort Pam, I eagerly await the a sequel on radical Islam
