Release Date Set for Book Critical of Obama

The publisher behind the book which questioned the merits of John Kerry in 2004 has set a release date for a book similarly critical of Barack Obama.

Conservative journalist David Freddoso’s “The Case Against Barack Obama” will offer “a comprehensive, factual look at Obama,” according to Regnery Publishing president and publisher Marjory Ross.

But the book’s subtitle makes clear its perspective: “The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate.”

Ross contends that the mainstream media has offered insufficient scrutiny of Obama and likens the goal of Freddoso’s book to that of “Unfit for Command,” the scathing assessment of Kerry’s war record that rocketed to No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller list.

Freddoso's Book is scheduled for release on August 4.

Of course, conservatives won't have near as easy a time smearing Obama as they did with Kerry (which still puzzles me), I don't blame them for trying. Barack's likeability is a major liability for McCain's camp. But the question remains: will these attempts to slander Obama hurt his campaign or help it?
