The Manchurian President

[Si modo]

This book would never have been written if the MSM had done a proper job of vetting Obama during the 2008 election cycle.

That would be odd, since Obama had already been fully vetted by the CIA and the FBI. ....

Candidates are NOT 'fully vetted' by the CIA and the FBI. Candidates fill out an SF-86. All any investigating agency does is make sure the candidate is eligible for the position. To do any further investigation would be in violation of the Privacy Act (and see page two of previous link to SF-86).

Once a candidate wins, their elected position gives them access to information, not their background.

(This is the reason I think the birthers are off of the wall.)

Nice PR strategy. Brilliant!! My respect to Sliwa. Gotta admire the tactic of using the media's reluctance to cover the book as her strategy. I like that.

I await, with interest, the reaction of the White House to the details in the book.

I think we're going to be waiting a very long time CG.

If there's anything that is not provable, Obama can - and should - sue.

It's very difficult for a public figure to prove these things and the resulting publicity only helps the writer. There are something like 300 Bush-bashing books put out during his presidency and no lawsuits. I'm sure many of them are like this book: guilt by association.

That would be odd, since Obama had already been fully vetted by the CIA and the FBI. How else would he have been granted the same privileged daily intelligence briefings as Bush once he won the primary election? Should they have publicized their results? Yeah, right...like they would any background investigation.

It's not odd that you don't grok what investigative reporting is and how the press, when it's reasonably objective, provides insight into a candidate beyond the campaign commercials. In the case of Obama, the MSM acted like Pravda. We learned more from them about the Wasilla Rec Center Project when Palin was Mayor than we did about anything in Obama's past.

Book has taken off like a rocket ship..........exposes Obama fully for what he is and has always been.
Absolutely neccessary for any independent to read..........conservatives have been aware of much of this for some time.


Some of the highlights......................



>>Obama's deep ties to an anti-American fringe nexus instrumental in building his political career, some members of which are helping draft White House policy
>>Obama's extensive connections to ACORN and its union affiliate, including much new information not previously documented elsewhere
>>Extremists exposed in the White House, including top czars and communist-linked Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod
>>Obama's healthcare policy pushed and crafted by extremists
>>Obama’s deep association with the Nation of Islam
>>Obama's ties to terrorist Bill Ayers much more extensive than ever previously disclosed

And the k00k left is falling all over themselves to discredit the book. Fortunately, there is no gray in any of this. This guy is a fcukking radical from the word go........thus, the correleation with "change".

See which media stars diss book exposing Obama unread


Members of the news media, including from publications such as Time and Newsweek, have reacted harshly to the announcement of the No. 1 non-fiction book in America, which investigates President Obama, with multiple reporters sending expletive-laden e-mails to the author's publicist saying they did not want to receive a copy.

"The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists and other Anti-American Extremists" officially was released Monday.

The brand-new title from WND senior reporter and WABC Radio host Aaron Klein skyrocketed to No. 1 on the non-fiction list at Amazon.com and is now No. 5 on the overall best-seller's list.

With more than 800 citations, the book bills itself as the most exhaustive investigation ever performed into Obama's political background and radical ties. Klein's co-author is historian and researcher Brenda J. Elliot

As is customary in the run-up to the release of a new title, Klein's publicist, Maria Sliwa, last week sent a press release to key media contacts announcing the forthcoming book.

Sliwa, who has represented dozens of best-selling titles, has cultivated a list of reporters to whom she regularly sends releases.

Sliwa, however, said she was stunned by what she described as "unprecedented" e-mail replies she received regarding the "The Manchurian President" announcement.

"Ridiculous crap," retorted John Oswald, news editor for the New York Daily News.

"Never, ever contact me again," wrote Time Magazine senior writer Jeffrey Kluger.

Newsweek deputy editor Rana Foroohar quipped,"This is sensational rubbish that is of no interest to any legitimate publication."

"Absolute crap," replied Evelyn Leopold, a Huffington Post contributor who served for 17 years as U.N. bureau chief for Reuters until recently.

Nancy Gibbs, editor-at-large for Newsweek, fired, "Remove me from your list."


David Knowles


David Knowles, AOL's political writer, responded, "seriously, get a life."

Ben Wyskida, publicity director for The Nation, claimed Klein's book is "so offensive" and "so far afield."

The reporters rejected the thoroughly documented book before receiving review copies of the title.

Sliwa noted that when reporters are not interested in her releases, they normally do not reply. She said in her 10 years of working in public relations, she never has received the kind of response from reporters provoked by publicizing "The Manchurian President."

Sliwa, who identifies herself as liberal, teaches journalism at New York University and lists Robert Thurman, Gandhi and Malcolm X as her heroes. From 1999 to 2005 she publicized the genocide and slavery in Sudan. In 2005, she started her present company, M. Sliwa Public Relations.

She said her goal in publicly exposing the e-mail responses to "Manchurian" is not to embarrass the journalists, but she believes it is important to "call them out on their duty as members of the press to leave their biases where they belong – at the door."

Klein, the book's author, said he is not surprised by the emotional response.

Stated Klein: "Future historians will have to grapple with the fantastic phenomenon of the U.S. news media's having, as a class, almost completely abdicated their traditional responsibility when it comes to investigating Obama's background."

Autographed! Get Aaron Klein's "The Manchurian President" at WND's Superstore.

"Despite an astonishingly radical first year in office," continued Klein, "which has awakened unprecedented voter outrage and caused Obama's popularity to plunge, the news media largely continue to ignore the reality of who Obama is, what he really stands for, and who influences him.

"I hope this book helps to rectify such obvious journalistic malpractice," he added.

On the Savage Nation radio program with Michael Savage, Klein explained the red flags about Obama were numerous, from his attendance in a radical Sunday School with links to Students for a Democratic Society to the extraordinary lengths to which he has gone to conceal his college transcripts.

For example, Klein cited one of the first political speeches by Obama was at Occidental College, where the event came under the auspices of a group with links to leftist radical Tom Hayden.

That "extremism," said Klein, now has been installed in the operating procedures at the White House.

Savage asked how such radical elements can be pushed forward in America, and Klein explained it is because the media is failing to look into what "obviously has been the most radical year in American politics ever."

Sean Hannity, on his Fox News show, said just the title of the book "is going to make liberals' heads explode."

"The Manchurian President" charges Obama has deep ties to an anti-American extremist nexus that has been instrumental not only in building his political career but in crafting current White House policy.

The book seeks to expose an extremist coalition of communists, socialists and other radicals working both inside and outside the administration to draft and advance current White House policy goals.

"The Manchurian President" contains potentially explosive information not only about President Obama but also concerning other officials in the White House, including top czars and senior advisers Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod.

The book also includes an extensive investigation into Obama's own background. The work uncovers, among many other things, Obama's early years, including his previously overlooked early childhood ties to a radical, far-left church. The book provides copious new details about Obama's deep ties to the unrepentant Weatherman Underground terrorist group founder William Ayers and about the president's boyhood years in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation.

Of all Obama's radical associates from the past, few received more attention or were as shocking as his connection to Ayers. The book uncovers for the first time where and how Obama first met Ayers – and it is much earlier than previously believed.










Kinda interesting that the left in the media are falling all over themselves to publically diss the new book. My question. If it is so over the top, why bother even commenting on it??? IDK...........wtf????

If you're a conservative, this book is a must read, if only from the perspecitve that it provides the reader with tons of material to load up on when you are out and about trying to educate the hopelessly duped about the pronounced level of radical that this president is...........

Anyway.........like I said, unless you are amongst the hopelessly duped, its a must read................and make no mistake, all the left k00ks on this board march in lock step to the philosophies of all of Obama's radical associations.

[nraforlife]

This book is on my List to be purchased this weekend. I have been amusing myself this a.m. reading the incoherent, hate filled, venom sprewing 'reviews' written by lunatic progressives at Amazon.com regarding the book. They all but call for the author to be murdered and the book has not even been out long enough for most of them to have purchased a copy, read it and done anything to vet its ruth or falsehood. It is enough that the 'word on the street' is that this book is critical of The One and like those who malign Muhammad (peace be unto his name) the author must pay the extreme penalty.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Book has taken off like a rocket ship.........

....Or, more like a flushed-turd!!!
