Barack Obama was elected President in 2008 by the combined effort of skilled community organizers, the expert use of 21st century technology that enabled him to use the internet to raise far more campaign money than any other candidate, and by what Bernard Kalb called "the slobbering love affair of the media." A year later, the glitz has faded and Michelle Malkin explains why. Instead of bringing hope and transparency, Obama has brought us the "culture of corruption." Malkin has a chapter on each area of Obama's corrupt administration: the many high-level appointees who had to withdraw in disgrace, the political defects of his Veep pick Joe Biden, Obama's appointment of 34 powerful Czars who evaded vetting and Senate confirmation, and his cozy relationship with ACORN and the powerful union SEIU, both of which squandered millions of taxpayer dollars and dues money to enrich themselves and expand their power. One of her best chapters is on "the other Michelle," whom Malkin accurately labels Obama's "bitter half." Michelle Malkin describes how Michelle Obama played the Chicago political game to enrich herself with cushy overpaid jobs, all the while hypocritically indulging in typical feminist whining about her alleged sacrifices and victimization. Barack's and Michelle's associates throughout their careers seem to be a series of sleazy operators who worked the political system to enrich themselves, mostly at taxpayers' expense.

Malkin's latest New York Times best-seller sets forth chapter and verse of "Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies." She explains how Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists are ruining the economy and siphoning money and favors to their friends.
