Judging a book by its cover might be a good start in this review of Webster G. Tarpley's book Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography. The fine cartoon by Tarpley & Azar is no mere metaphor, for it correctly depicts the fact that the `chosen one', Obama, has successfully destroyed the essence of the Democratic Party towards the people of this country as exemplified by the mission of FDR and the New Deal towards `The Forgotten Man". Yes the Democratic donkey has collapsed under the weight of the egotistical puppet Obama and his entourage of Foundation funded terrorists, racists, politically connected crooks, diabolical warmongers, corrupted Democratic Party officials and ultimately the Wall Street swindlers, all who must be examined in context of the present world crisis in order to understand who Obama really is.

Written in an accessible and compelling style, Tarpley has written a unique book that transcends the nihilistic impotence of the left and the reactionary myopia of the right, by reviving a form of historical analysis informed by an all but lost tradition of the United States of America: our historical mission to fight the specter of oligarchy's twin evils, the tyranny of the one, and the tyranny of the many, mob rule. Obama, as will be discovered, combines the worst of both into a particularly insidious combination that is duping the masses with slogans and politically correct identifications as he dangerously divides and polarizes the people of America for his masters.

There is much fine historical background in this book, including a survey of fascism which is indispensable towards understanding Obama as a manifestation of what Tarpley has identified as postmodern fascism.

The advent of postmodern fascism, represented by Obama, is funded by Goldman Sachs, Soros, and other Wall Street types. Understanding how Obama was recruited, by whom and why is answered in this book.

Background on Ayers, Wright, goes far beyond what we are seeing in the media today, for Tarpley goes much deeper into secrets the right does not want to expose, for they too have been pawns of finance capital. It is the role of the Foundations, Ford, Annenberg which play a important part in privatized intelligence operations, abbetting and funding such counterintelligence groups, agent provacateurs as the Weather Underground, created to destroy the legitimate peace movement, and Black Liberation Theology, design to undermine the civil rights movement. Both were successful in their destructive and subversive missions.

Beyond the scope of other authors on the subject, Tarpley is able to provide the reader an understanding of the philosophical background that surrounds Obama and his radical crowd in a very reader friendly manner. Having an understanding of Franz Fannon for example, author of The Wretched of the Earth. is a key to understanding the progression of 196o's hatred and violence and why Obama has no problem joining with Ayers, Wright, Soros, Goldman Sachs, Wall Street, the Ford Foundation and others who hate America and are doing a good job at destroying America.
