the truth hurts. not sure why if you do not like obamas politics you are considered racist and a far right extremist. i am neither. this is an honest look at what this administration has done, right under our noses. regardless of your political afffiliation you need to know how his policies are dividing this country more than ever and the price you and your kids will pay.

A "must read" before the 2012 election. Looks like Chicago politics deserve the bad reputation they've held for decades.

A good book that can peel back the cover over your eyes. Helps you understand some of the corruption going on today in modern times.

Bush initiated the bailout before he left office. How soon do we forget the mess he made and left this country in. Leave it to the so called conservatives to want to blame Obama. What he should be writing about is how gas prices stay on the rise while the price of sweet crude has not had a dramatic increase yet the oil companies that the bush's and cheney have significant and investments in are bragging about record profits. If you ask me the only thing theyre conserving in is their desire accept blame for this mess theyve made.

I disagree with the last review. President Obama has not "igorned the constition".
This book is just a bunch of biased gibberish hoping to sell copies to right-wing radicals because it has a controversial title.
Seriously, how can you honestly say it is not racist when it automatically connects Obama to thugs and gangsters. If he was not black those terms wouldn't be anywhere near him.
He's not Straight Outta Compton. He's Straight Outta... Honolulu.

From title to the final paragraph this book is about the idea that Obama isn't like ' us' in other words he isnt white.

Just the title of this book is racist. If the president was not black then there is no way the title would be called "Gangster Government." It's pretty pathetic that most people do not like Obama because he is black and can't understand that when he went into office he inherited a terrible situation caused by Bush.

Overview
“GANGSTER GOVERNMENT”Columnist Michael Barone invented the phrase.
President Obama has perfected the practice.
And in this new and stunning book, New York Times best-selling author David Freddoso (The Case Against Barack Obama) provides the much-needed exposé of an administration that has brought Chicago-style corruption and strong-arm politics to Washington, looking to reward its friends (the unions, federal workers, and other liberal interest groups) and punish its enemies (the ...
