The Case Against Barack Obama
''The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate'', by author David Freddoso, is a bestselling book published in late 2008, providing a critical examination of the life and opinions of the then United States presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama. Freddoso was a political reporter for the website of the conservative magazine ''National Review'' when the book came out. He is now with the ''Washington Examiner''.
