WE'VE BEEN HAD is so informative and well organized that in another time it might be a textbook. Having read extensively about Obama I can attest to its veracity.

My question is why haven't I heard any promotion for it?

Thanks, Lady Jag.

... Keena’s insights are keen and dot-connecting. Here are some examples:

From Obama’s own Dreams from My Father: “Issues, action, power, self-interest. I liked these concepts. They bespoke a certain hardheadedness, a worldly lack of sentiment...” I’ve thought Obama is strangely emotionless, coldly and relentlessly pushing his Big Government agenda, so it is oddly validating to find that the president speaks of himself in similar terms. (p. 39)

Dr. John C. Drew, a lapsed Marxist who knew Obama in 1980, claimed that Obama was enough of a Marxist then to praise the Soviet Union, the land of gulags and “people’s democracy.” (p. 94)

Citing Jerome Corsi’s book The Obama Nation, Keena reports Obama’s perhaps illegal meddling in Kenyan politics in which he (apparently with the financial support of the American taxpayer via his position as a U.S. Senator) actively worked on behalf of a rather unsavory character who had communist sympathies and at least a superficial connection with an al Qaeda ally. (pp. 129-30)

The details of Obama’s close working relationship with Antoin Rezko (he of the 16 felony convictions) are fleshed out in Chapter 7

Chapter 8-Meet ACORN-is even more illuminating. Many of us have a sense of how corrupt ACORN had become, but Keen does a superb job of placing ACORN in the historical context of a decades-long radical strategy to subvert and collapse our political system. This chapter alone is worth the price of the book.

Thanks. Rarely does a book excite me like We’ve Been Had. He’s filled in my blanks and organized my thoughts.

It’s like an intern’s red book, you shouldn’t go without it.

I will buy the book. Thanks for the info.

Two other good books on Obama which came out before the election

1) The Case Against Barack Obama by David Freddoso

2) The Obama Nation by Jerome Corsi

Just checked on Amazon - there are 4 copies (or was it 5?) right now. One “j.walsh” made the dissing FR comment. I voted that his comment was not helpful. ;-)

“0 of 36 people found the following review helpful”

I guess plenty of other people didn’t find his comment helpful either.
