Barack Obama's latest book, Change We Can Believe In, goes on sale Tuesday, September 9th. Much to the chagrin of Democrats, however, it will be sharing space on the new release shelves with the sassy new anti-Obama tome The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values.
You've got to hand it to author Brad O'Leary: the man has got chutzpah--not only does the book's title irreverently parody Obama's 2006 The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, it's also hitting stores on September 9th, the same day as Change We Can Believe In. Can the liberal versus conservative Battle of the Books get any better than this?
The Audacity of Deceit's release promises to have the same effect on the 2008 presidental campaign as throwing a gasoline-soaked torch into a warehouse of fireworks--loud, spectacular, and memorable.
Right out of the gate, O'Leary starts the book off with fightin' words: "It's been noted that Barack Obama has written multiple books and no major legislation, but that's not a coincidence. He's tried to hide his true beliefs from the American people behind soaring oratory promising 'hope' and 'change,' but that's just a smokescreen, and one that's been very effective. Until now."
The Audacity of Deceit details a laundry list of unsettling facts about Obama's history and political agenda, including his personal and financial relationship with the radical leftist militant Bill Ayers; details about his plan to dramatically increase federal government control over child-rearing and raise taxes; and Zogby poll statistics that demonstrate how out of touch Obama's core but hidden beliefs are completely at odds with the majority of Americans.
With the Obama campaign still reeling from the unexpected and meteoric rise to fame of Sarah Palin, The Audacity of Deceit will scarcely be welcomed by Democrats with open arms. However, for the American people, it's just another great reason to call this presidental campaign one of the most eventful in American history; and, with the last several elections in mind, that's saying something.
