Culture of Corruption by author Michelle Malkin exposes the sleaze, corruption and the Chicago Machine that came into the White House with the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States. She digs deeply into the records of the President’s staff, revealing corrupt dealings, questionable pasts, and abuses of power throughout the administration.
Overview of Culture of Corruption
According to Malkin, it didn’t take long for Obama to kill the era of hope and change that was touted during the presidential campaign. In the book, she writes that the media-anointed American Idol fell fast and hard.
Culture of Corruption is an indictment of the people that surround Obama: tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. It contains an indictment of the culture of corruption that Malkin contends surrounds Obama and his appointees.
Malkin's List of Allegations
- Why nepotism beneficiaries First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are Team Obama’s biggest liberal hypocrites-bashing the corporate world and influence-peddling industries from which they and their relatives have benefited mightily.
- What secrets the ethics-deficient members of Obama’s cabinet-including Hillary Clinton-are trying to hide.
- Why the Obama White House has more power-hungry, unaccountable “czars” than any other administration.
- How Team Obama’s first one hundred days of appointments became a litany of embarrassment as would-be appointee after would-be appointee was exposed as a tax cheat or had to withdraw for other reasons.
- How Obama’s old ACORN and union cronies have squandered millions of taxpayer dollars and dues to enrich themselves and expand their power.
- How Obama’s Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists are running the economy and helping their friends…and lays bare the Obama’s administration seamy underside….
Culture of Corruption was published in July 2009, however it is still timely because of the telling details that Malkin has written about as she exposes the gulf between the rhetoric and what she calls the “murkier reality of the Obama presidency.
