I was privilaged to review Obama: The Man Behind The Mask by Andy Martin, who "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.

I have always believed that Obama and Michelle were upset and angry when they left school because those supposed high salary offers were not forthcoming. More than anything, this sense of entitlement radicalized them and hence the adoption of the black theology and Obama as community organizer.
Whoa, did both Obama’s get disbarred?
This needs to be made public. Boy, Hillary really did screw this campaign up. Her own ego of not having to do anything but *be* Hillary Clinton got in the way of what could have been a great smear campaign.
I’m on pre order for the book. I’ll post as soon as I know that answer.
I think they just let their licenses lapse. Not sure though.
Thank you. I’d be interested to know.
I would like Obama better as The Man In The Iron Mask.
Can we stop the hype and just give us the facts? This is rediculous. This sounds like a marketing spot to get us to buy the book. Also, I don’t want to go to another site and give them my demographics to read what you could easily post here. Give us some factual information not this sensationalism. Otherwise you’re wasting our time.
Whoa Nellie...they let their law licenses LAPSE- that doesn’t mean they were disbarred.
Is that what it said? I gave up on trying to find the article at that site.

They probably never passed the bar exam.
I don’t like to cause trouble, but this Andy Martin thing is 100% Andy Martin. All of us want to know what’s in the book. The post says that he has access to the book. Can’t he tell us what’s in it, instead of giving us questions? It makes FR look silly.
This is a book review. I posted it under chat/books.
I said, multiple times, I’m on pre order for it. I will post any answers to questions people have.
Ohhh, got it.
As John Fraud Kerry was an opportunist, BHO is a ‘fast tracker’. A recent discussion at Chicago Sun Times was about his ‘creditials’ which were none because there were no concrete results from his ‘activism’.
ACORN gave him an ‘in’ and then he moved up.
one of the problems of constantly moving on to the next promotion is that you never get to see the consequences and ramifications of past actions.
Not only is this the definition of a fast-tracker (in any business, at any level), it is also the motivation of the fast-tracker. Get out of the way before the sh*t hits the fan, because you don’t want any of that sh*t on your nice shiny new suit.
What Obambi hasn’t figured out yet is that there isn’t any promotion that will get him out of the Presidency fast enough to avoid getting splattered.
