Sounds like Freddoso’s book is worth a read.
One of the professional reviewers of Freddoso’s book referred to O as an “obscure newcomer”
That is, at best, naïve; O has been involved in dirty politics for at least the past 10 years.

As stated:
One of the biggest con jobs of the century - and an indictment of the MSM – despite the fact Obama has been surrounded by active and known communists his entire life: “This guy came up from nowhere, no one knows him.”
Freddoso’s book gives a good account of where Obama came from and who has been helping him get to where he is. It also explains how Obama developed his ideology. The Lame Stream Media was either knowingly complicit, or completely clueless about this man. I’m not sure which one is the most accurate.
