From the rear cover

The Nobel Committee should read Gangster Government before it gives our president another peace prize. Ann Coulter, bestselling author and Legal Affairs Correspondent for Human Events
Somehow Barack Obama has gotten away with pretending to be a good-government guy and a scourge of the special interests. David Freddoso s Gangster Government is the potent antidote to this spin. With lively detail and devastating analysis, Freddoso reveals how the president and his administration use the brute force of government to squelch criticism, punish enemies, and even steal from those who stand in their way. Fawning journalists have likened Obama to Lincoln, FDR, JFK, and Reagan this book shows that Obama is more akin to Nixon. Tim Carney, author of Obamanomics and Senior Political Columnist, The Washington Examiner
David Freddoso, one of America s finest reporters, has written a masterpiece expose on Barack Obama s first two years in the Oval Office. Gangster Government gives readers the detailed inside scoop on an administration populated by officials who ignore the constitutional limits on government while abusing the power of the state to reward their friends and punish their enemies. Terence P. Jeffrey, author of Control Freaks and Editor in Chief of CNS News
Gangster government is always a danger, whoever is in power. It is a greater danger the more government is deeply enmeshed with the private sector and when its leaders believe that rules should be bent or ignored in order to benefit favored constituencies. So thanks to David Freddoso for providing a report that enables citizens to decide just how far gangster government has gone in this administration. Michael Barone, from the Foreword
