Does President Barack Obama play fast and loose with the truth and say a lot of things that really don’t make sense?

In That’s a crock, Barack, Ambassador Fred J. Eckert -- author of the political satire novel Hank Harrison for President that Library Journal hailed as “One of the best political spoofs since The Mouse That Roared” -- examines Barack Obama’s own words – incredibly duplicitous, deceitful, arrogant and delusional – and subjects them to logic and wit to demonstrate what a con job Obama and his fawning media cheerleaders have perpetrated upon the American people.

Ambassador Eckert, a former conservative Republican Member of Congress and a man President Ronald Reagan described as “a good friend and valued advisor,” turns the tables on Barack Obama, the Left and the media by subjecting them to the sort of ridicule that they are so fond of using against conservatives.

Intelligent and amusing, That’s a crock, Barack reminds us that in their allied efforts to promote Barack Obama, the Obama campaign, the Democrats and much of the media make the focus about how and where Barack says the things he says – Greek columns surrounding him, someone in the audience fainting, campaigning overseas in Berlin, the cheering Muslim audience, etc. – but rarely about what really matters -- the substance of what he actually says.

Writes Ambassador Eckert: “Barack Hussein Obama, it turns out, has a pattern of saying things that are untrue, delusional, arrogant, self-indulgent, absurd, silly, ludicrous, laughable and just plain wrong.”

Eckert holds the words of Barack Obama up to the light of logic and reason and makes a compelling case that -- if one bothers to actually think about what Obama says -- so often the words Obama spouts are, in truth, a crock.

Gaffs Obama makes are ignored or covered up by a media that would turn them into some brouhaha were they made by a conservative – and Eckert demonstrates the double-standard with potent examples.

Eckert makes it compellingly clear that it’s not just the small stuff on which the media give Obama a pass. When Obama says things that a George Bush or a Sarah Palin would be savaged as dumb for saying, it tends to get excused or covered up; when Obama says things most Americans would find to be megalomaniacal or mind-bogglingly absurd, often it is not just ignored or excused but actually passed off as dazzling and profound.

For example, Eckert points out that while the media raved about Obama’s Cairo speech they ignored reporting things that show it to be such an incredibly silly speech. Eckert exposes the foolishness of statements Obama made there, raising questions the media should have raised. In this speech that the media gushed over Obama told his Muslim audience he knows that “Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance”? Wonder why the media didn’t ask him if the “Death to Infidels” 9/11 attacks and all the bombings and beheadings were among the words and deeds he had in mind?

Are you aware that Barack Obama thinks and says things that outrageously detached from the truth? Are you aware that he boasted during a 60 Minutes interview that he is at least our fourth greatest president and possibly our greatest? Are you aware that CBS tried to cover up his braggadocio to protect him?

Readers across the political spectrum – from Republican Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole to Democratic NY Governor Mario Cuomo --heaped high praise upon Ambassador Eckert’s political satire novel Hank Harrison for President.

That’s a crock, Barack will likely be received with wild enthusiasm by conservative Republicans and with fear and loathing by liberal Democrats.

Barry obama is truly the WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY!! Great book!

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have read several books about the Obama’s and the Clinton’s Acts of Treason, lies, corruption and murder, but this book made me laugh at idiotic things he said that I have never heard before. Unbelievable!! How dare he talk about President Trump! I finished “The Worst President in History (Margolis) and recently received the 600 page book of “Obama’s Lies.” My Kindle Library is filled with books that have taught me so much about those who seek to Govern our beloved country. It is beyond my comprehension that people are still enamored by this traitor. (I mistakenly ordered 2 of this one, decided it will be a wonderful Christmas gift for my Democrat friend.)

This book is a must read for all Republicans; especially young Republicans. It lays out all of Obama's gaffes in a humorous way, but takes it one step further and explains the hidden meanings behind this dangerous man's words. I have shared my love for this book with all my Republican friends.

A Fun, Rollicking Romp Through Obama's Trail of Malapropisms and Outright Fabrications

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2012

The recent brouhaha over the Administration's decision to require church-affiliated institutions to provide birth-control services to their employees followed a few days later by a self-described "compromise" intended to deal with that decision's political fallout would be meat and potatoes for Fred Eckert, who in "That's a crock, Barack" has laid bare the President's remarkable history of self-absorption and a very casual approach to truth.

As an example, Eckert dissects Obama's effort to explain how his vote as a Senator against President Bush's request to raise the debt ceiling was different from Republican opposition to his own request four years later to do the same thing. Eckert quotes Obama's admission that his initial vote was "political" and not in the interest of the Nation, and then goes on to point out that despite the President's claim to have learned from that experience he chose not to vote at all on the next two debt ceiling proposals that came before the Senate. It would seem that voting "present" is a hard habit to break.

Eckert's book can be read on several levels; it is a fun, rollicking compendium of Obama's malapropisms and fabrications that will have you laughing when you are not crying. It is also a serious, thoughtful examination of the President's character that raises legitimate questions about what an Obama Administration might do in a second term, once it is free from the need to win re-election.

This is a "must read" for anyone interested in presidential politics or simply frustrated by the media's unwillingness to cast a critical eye on the President's policies. Even better, it will make you a very well-informed voter come the Second Tuesday next November.

The Truth behind the Myth

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2012

Our current President has been given a pass by the main stream press from misstatements and other malapropos that make the miscues of President George W. Bush pale in comparison. Ambassador Eckert has taken on the task of calling the President to task for some of his most outrageous statements and mis-statements. In a well research and edited effort Eckert has provided a glimpse of the man behind the myth by outlining the truth about some of the least heard comments of the President and those that, more shockingly, the mainstream media has given him a pass for saying.
Anyone seriously considering which candidate to support in this year's Presidential election now has a must read that will lead to the inevitable conclusion that it is time for a change--again.
The book is well researched, humorous despite the seriousness of its message and provides a strong analysis of the facts behind some of the President's most outrageous statements.
The book shows the same sense of satire that made Hank Harrison for President the wonderful read that it is but this effort is even more vital. It points to the truth that is being hidden rather than the odd world inhabited by Hank Harrison.
The book should be read by all serious Americans

Thank You Fred Eckert!

Thank you FRED ECKERT!

What a gift. Many of us know intuitively that Barack Obama fails America everyday, but it is difficult at times to pin him down, especially since the mainstream media is such a fan of the man and such an enemy of the truth. "That's a crock, Barack" is the definitive reference we need to really understand just how duplicitous Barack Obama has been and helps prepare us for the onslaught of politically-motivated, self-serving falsehoods and fabrications that are to come. Well documented and verifiable, this is not an opinion piece, but a real-life, factual account of the absurd statements of Barack Obama. Written in crisp and humorous style, this is a fun and worthwhile read.

Eckert's "Crock" should be a reference tool in every newsroom

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2012

Ambassador Eckert demonstrates once again why he is one of our nation's keenest political observers. Cheerfully treading where mere mortal reporters and editors dare not, Eckert catalogues an amazing array of malapropisms,falsities and other gibberish uttered by candidate and now President Obama.
Social Studies teachers across the nation cringed when Mr. Obama referred to the "58 states" in our union, but no one at CBS, the New York Times, or MSNBC thought this worth mentioning. When the President referred to the "Austrian language," the professional newsies at NBC, ABC, and the Washington Post were strangely silent.

Fred Eckert has these and many other bizarre or laughable comments from our President all available in "That's a Crock, Barack."

The book makes an excellent gift, perhaps even for your favorite local or even national journalist.

Thank you, Ambassador Eckert !

This book is a nasty attack on President Obama

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2014

This book is a croc of shi#! Any intuitive person can tell that President Obama speaks from his heart and deeply believes that all Americans deserve the highest standard of healthcare like people in other countries have enjoyed since the end of WW2. Do not bother reading this insulting book written by a loud mouthed person who likely profited from the mafiaesque stealing of FREE healthcare from Americans in the 1940's. Thank God we have a president who cares about EVERY American no matter what age, color, sexual preference or religion they profess!
