ANNOUNCEMENT OF CHICAGO NEWS CONFERENCE JULY 10, 2008
OBAMA BOOK GOES ON THE PRESSES
CHICAGO COLUMNIST ANDY MARTIN ANNOUNCES HIS NEW BOOK, OBAMA: THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK, HAS STARTED PRINTING
(CHICAGO)(July 11, 2008) Legendary Chicago Internet columnist and muckraker Andy Martin will hold a news conference Thursday, July 10th to announce that his new book on Senator Barack Obama is on the presses. Based on pre-publication sales, the book is already an international bestseller.
'We are so excited,' Martin will state. 'They are doing an initial print run for review copies to book reviews, media, etc. In a few days they are going to start printing truckloads, and the publisher will be shipping copies to pre-pub orders. The shipping date is estimated to be July 25th.
'I have over forty years of experience in the cesspools of Illinois politics. I worked for an Illinois senator, knew several of them personally, have been in and out of Washington for decades and was the first writer to start questioning Barack Obama's resume and life story. No other writer can match my background. No other author can match my book.
'I am the only political columnist who ‘adopted' Hillary Clinton as a candidate during the dark days of February. In Europe, I'm not known as a political author. Rather, I was the courageous and confrontational Baghdad bureau chief who took on Paul Bremer, and earned a place on my second presidential enemies list (Nixon, Bush). I spoke truth to power in Baghdad, and when I returned to Chicago I began to speak the truth about Barack Obama. Media bias is overwhelmingly in Obama's favor so I am always swimming upstream with both my facts and opinions.
'‛The Mask' is a compilation of my original columns combined with a series of startling new essays on every aspect of Obama's life. Some of my comments are short and tart, some sharp and long, others derisory. The new material is sure to be controversial. None of it has been published anywhere before. My original news conference about Obama in 2004 has become one of the most Googled items on the Internet. The new book has already exceeded our expectations.
'Obama has relentlessly tried to stop me. He has thrown his recent ‘Manchurian Surrogate,' Danielle Allen, into the fray. But we keep fighting back, with the truth about Barry O. Obama is a political version of Budd Schulberg's Sammy Glick. He is a crass opportunist who has thrown everybody under the bus in his rise to power. And if people are foolish enough to elect Obama, he's going to throw America under the bus as well,' Martin states.
'My book catalogs Obama's operations through the nomination victory last month. Now he has reversed himself, moving from the extreme left to ‘who knows where?' Next week we are going to begin a medley of new columns on Obama's mendacity. And we are already working on the second book. ‘Barry O' is good copy.
'People in Chicago do not want to hear the truth. I love it. They are in deep denial. They are so desperate for a ‘president.' As we Episcopalians like to remark, ‘Be careful what you pray for; your prayers may be answered.' Putting a Daley Machine stooge in the White House is not my idea of ‘change' or ‘hope.' And tomorrow, Friday, I will be out on the beat, in the sewers of Chicago politics, digging deeper for the real ‘Obama Story.' There is much more to come.'
Details on the book can be found at www.OrangeStatePress.com. Advance orders from Orange State Press are available now.

I was being facetious.
Well, one of the left’s favorite words is “complex” and “complicated.” As in, “there’s no such thing as black and white, right and wrong, but only shades of gray. It’s too COMPLEX for you moronic righties to undestand.”
Basically what the blurb says is that Obama is too complex for us gun-loving, flag-worshiping rednecks to understand, so he will explain Obama to us, in words of five syllables.
I’ve been talking to Corsi regarding the book - buy it - I’m in it :-)

Bump and ping!
I want a party with room fulls of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream!
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you will listen to me
Expat’s story went to Corsi! Now I have to buy that book too!
Thank you ExPat!
This guy knows his topic.
Um, OK?
;-)
Featuring the long awaited story from ExPat for all of you who follow ExPat’s blog!

Guess you have to be a Willy Wonka fan :D
you’ll be famous!
I just pre ordered my copy. Between ExPat’s story, Corsi’ coverage and Andy Martin’s coverage, we will have a fairly good idea of what is true, speculative and ‘forged’.
I already know his Certificate of Live Birth on the website is fake. The real task is to force the lazy, timid “conservative” media (Talkers, NRO, Weekly Standard, etc) to give a crap about any of this. We already know the MSM isn’t going to push the story along.
If Martin has the BC from Kenya, they will have to cover it.
Don’t count those MSM chickens, because them eggs don’t hatch without multiple jackhammers working on them.
Sounds like a product for Acme.
