In a stunningly short time, Barack Obama has gone from complete unknown to presidential front-runner – largely by capturing the imagination of America's young people. Never before in the history of the country has the youth vote become such a critical factor in deciding a national election. But author and radio host Hugh Hewitt argues that young Americans are being misled by Obama; underneath his veneer of exceptional rhetoric and youthful hipness lies a conventional liberal who is moreover thoroughly unqualified to be President of the United States. In a time of intense crises at home and abroad, Hewitt argues, we can ill-afford a president who lacks experience in either foreign or economic policy, and frequently demonstrates a shocking naiveté about the threats we face. In a heartfelt appeal directed to America's young people, as well as to their parents, Hewitt pulls back the curtain on Obama, making clear what an Obama Administration would really mean in practice.

He spent ten years as the co-host of a nightly news and public affairs program on PBS' Los Angeles affiliate and since 2000 has hosted a nationally syndicated radio talk show which is heard in more than 120 cities across the country. The three-hour daily show includes interviews with newsmakers from left to right and across many disciplines far removed from politics. Professor Hewitt is the author of eight previous books including two which made the New York Times' best-sellers list, and has received three Emmys for his work on "Life & Times." He is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Michigan Law School. |
