Aaron Klein and Brenda Elliott Available for Interviews
NEW YORK, May 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A book released last week investigating President Obama just hit the NY Times bestseller list, perhaps evidencing a growing domestic discord with a leader who not long ago boasted sky-high approval ratings.
"The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists and other Anti-American Extremists" alleges Obama has deep ties to an extremist nexus that has been instrumental not only in building his political career but in crafting current White House policy.
The title from WND senior reporter and WABC Radio host Aaron Klein skyrocketed to No. 1 on the non-fiction list at Amazon.com upon its official release last week and debuted on Friday at #22 on the NY Times bestseller list.
Klein's co-author is historian and blogger Brenda J. Elliott.
With a recent poll showing a full 40 percent of Americans think Obama is a socialist, Klein's new book seems to have struck a cord with a U.S. public seemingly concerned over some of the president's recent policies, including his healthcare and stimulus packages.
With almost 900 citations, "The Manchurian President" bills itself as the most exhaustive investigation ever performed into Obama's political background and radical ties.
Klein began investigating Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign and broke major national stories. He first exposed the politician's association with Ayers in a widely circulated WND article.
That story prompted the Nation magazine to lament, via the CBS News website, that "mainstream reporters now call the Obama campaign to ask about Klein's articles."
It was in a WABC Radio interview with Klein that Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to Hamas, "endorsed" Obama for president, generating world headlines and sparking controversy. Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain and Obama repeatedly traded public barbs over Hamas' positive comments.
Klein was among the first reporters to expose that Obama's "green jobs" czar, Van Jones, founded a communist organization and called for "resistance" against the U.S. government. The theme was picked up and expanded upon by the Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck, leading to Jones' resignation last September.
Brenda J. Elliott, meanwhile, is a historian, author and investigative researcher known for her blogging during the 2008 presidential election about William Ayers, Tony Rezko and other controversial figured linked to Obama. Since 1988, Elliott has been responsible for a number of historical projects, has won an award by Project Censored for her work and has been named "One of the Intriguing People" by Central Florida magazine.
