I was privilaged to review Obama: The Man Behind The Mask by Andy Martin, who is "generally recognized as the founding father of the anti-Obama research and commentary movement on the Internet." You may also remember that Andy urged Hillary to TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION! She did not heed his advice.

While the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune were asleep at the wheel, Andy Martin was letting the world know "Who Barry O is," but "just the facts" as Detective Friday says. Andy tells you why until Lynn SWEET caught Obama's scent that "Tony's guy" got a pass for all his "Chicago ways."

What does Andy know about "Chicago ways? "He began by exposing corruption in state government while still a law student at the University of Illinois over forty years ago. While still a student he also helped pursue and expose scandal at the Illinois Supreme Court. His investigations of crooked Cook County (Chicago) judges helped trigger federal prosecutions and sent guilty judges to jail."

What this book is "is not a biography. Obama’s anti-biography, his fictionalized 'Dreams' from his 'Father,' served as a launching pad for [his] own investigations and commentary. But [Andy] felt readers needed a collection of commentary, a pathway through the past few years, an insight and understanding of how the Obama phenomenon had evolved, what his campaign team had concealed and sometimes begrudgingly admitted, and an occasional prediction of where all of this activity would lead."

If you have followed Andy for the last four years there are no surprises for you in this book but it is still useful as a resource for when those suffering from OBAMAMANIA need a dose of reality. It also puts all his research in one source as opposed to having to do a search each time you need to "check your facts."

Andy was one of the first to deal with the issue of "Is OBAMA a radical Muslim?" If you do not know the answer then perhaps you do not know the facts. Personally I am more concerned with his church for the last 20 years.

You may want to know that neither of the Obamas has a valid license to practice law. How could that happen to such "great lawyers" as they claim to have been? Did they really reject "high saleried" positions and positions offered by those they knew - cronyism? These are just some of the questions Andy answers.

Hi JOgershok!

I was a miltary wife.So I am now registered to Military.com my father and son were navy and now my son is with National Guard. I totally agree with you on your post of Obama, I haven't read his biography, but I've heard enough and seen enough not to vote for him.To me to have him in the White House will be our total fall . I just sent his campaign people a report from Pat Buchanan on the Pro-Choice issue. That alone is scary knowing that he would make it legal for our more babies to be killed. We now have over 40 million babies that have been killed. Before the election, there will be a month of prayer. If we don't start praying now this country will be in worse shape than it's ever been. I will vote for what is moraaly right for our country. Years ago they had a talk program on It was on Reaganomics and keeping our borders safe. I called and said then, "Our borders really needed to be protected. Because of terrorist." The person told me it was a very good comment. Well since then as you see 9-11 etc.. I also believe we have terror cells right here and now and they are just waiting for the go sign. If our security would have been heightened prior to the first attack on the trade towers, we probably would never had this happen. Charline12

Why would any US Service member vote for a person that has said he could see keeping the troops in Iraq for 100 years?

Is it just me who is offended that the bush administration and the republican party has lied to get the nation into Iraq? Over 4,000 dead US Service members dead.

Along with more than 30,000 wounded. $2.4 billion per week and $10.3 billion a month spent in Iraq. It is not the troops or their families that are profiting from this war in Iraq, just big corporations. While dropping focus on Afghanistan and Bin Laden?

What would have happen if the democrats had been in office and since the troops to Iraq after a huge lie?

Why is it a lie only when Republicans say it but not when Nancy, Hillary, Bill, and company say that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. IT WAS NOT A LIE. How about the Migs found burried in the desert, how about the yellow cake that was found, how about the labs for producing biological and nerve agents that were found. Granted it was not to the scale suspected but it was there. There was plenty of time during the run up for Saddam to hide stuff and send it to his "friends" in Syria. There are still Iraqi owened planes from the first Gulf War in Jordan.

Quite believing the lie that George lied. Do the running bear not deposit his feces on the forest floor?

By the way, you are believing the propaganda, McCAIN was only making the point that we need to see this war to the end, no matter how long it takes -- unlike Viet-nam. The victor in war is the one with the stomach to see it to the end. The North lost most of the battles but won the war because they saw it to the end and did not cut and run on their allies, ie the Montagnards.

This enemy views mercy as weakness. Why do you think SADDAM started violating the terms of the surrender quite early? Do not blame GWB for SADDAM's refusal to obey the sanctions placed upon him by the UN. That is like blaming the victim for being mugged. Let us not forget that regime change in Iraq was the policy of the CLINTON administration. GWB just got it done.

Now to add insult to injury, in her speech to the Democratic Convention, Michelle OBAMA claims they left behind lucrative law practice to work in the public sector, translated to mean "low paying but emotionally gratifying work."

And in my own life, in my own small way, I’ve tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That’s why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities.

She failed to mention that she was paid quite handsomely (her annual salary increased from $121,910 to $316,962) to be a Vice President at University of Chicago Hospital.

I credited 8 years of the Clintons to be what the country deserved. Who knows, we might deserve Obama too. I hope not.

I seem to remember her saying that without Barack's books they would have not been able to afford their student loans from Harvard.

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/09/michelle-obama-...f-our-student-loans/

"Obama told the crowd that when she and her husband left law school, the monthly payments on their school loan debt was more than their monthly mortgage payment. She said they only got out of that debt when Barack Obama wrote his two books, “The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams from My Father.”

Both Obamas graduated from Harvard Law School.

Most of the Obamas’ income in 2006, when they had $991,296 in annual income, came from royalties on the books. That was down from the nearly $1.7 million they took in 2005, a total also boosted by a book deal. The Obamas have not released their 2007 tax returns, but have pledged to do so later this month."
