The New Updated Edition of an Amazon Bestseller! The Most Comprehensive Takedown of the Obama Presidency! 

"If you want to know why the history books will have a dim view of Barack Obama, this is the book to read." --John Hawkins, Right Wing News and Townhall.com

Now that Barack Obama is out of office, presidential "experts" and historians are ranking him as one of our nation's greatest presidents, placing him amongst Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Truman.

Obama's presidency was certainly consequential, but it was by no means great. The "greatness" narrative is being pushed by the media and the Obamas' inner circle, who working aggressively to ensure their version of Obama's legacy is written into the history books.

How can you discover and protect the truth?

Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan have compiled everything you need to know about the presidency of Barack Obama into a single source. First published in 2016, this book has now been updated to include the entirety of Obama's presidency and the shocking details that have come to light since he left office.

The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama compiles two hundred inconvenient truths about Obama's presidency--the facts that define his legacy: his real impact on the economy; the disaster that is Obamacare; his shocking abuses of taxpayer dollars; his bitterly divisive style of governing; his shameless usurping of the Constitution; his many scandals and cover-ups; his policy failures at home and abroad; the unprecedented expansion of government power...and more.

The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama is your ultimate guide to Obama's real presidential record--the record he'd like history to forget.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Barack Obama's legacy of failure isn't going anywhere. Margolis and Noonan's careful history and analysis will therefore prove an important touchstone for discussions on his Presidency in the decades to come. A must-read."
--Nick Adams, best-selling author of Retaking America: Crushing Political Correctness

"The legacy of Barack Obama has become increasingly obvious since he left office. Terror attacks, Obamacare's failure, and eight years of economic pain are just now getting reversed. Margolis and Noonan effectively catalog the cost of feckless and corrupt governance."
--Dick Morris, author of Power Grab: Obama's Dangerous Plan for a One-Party Nation and Armageddon: How Trump Can Beat Hillary

"I've been following the writing of Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan for years and their takedown of Barack Obama is their best work yet. If you want to know why the history books will have a dim view of Barack Obama, this is the book to read." 
--John Hawkins, Right Wing News and Townhall.com

"Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan's book, The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama, should be required reading in America's schools."
--Robert Stacy McCain, veteran journalist and co-author of Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party

"In clear and objective language and well-supported by facts, Margolis & Noonan have compiled a devastating series of indictments of Barack Obama's presidency."
--Book Horde

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy Research - Cherry Picked Data
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2018
I have read a lot of biographies and commentaries about American Presidents and this happens to be the worst book I have ever read. It is not well researched. The authors started with a theory - President Obama is the worse President - and they ran through articles (some from legitimate sources and a lot from sites such as Newsbusters) and data until they found what they wanted to believe. (Including, the oft-repeated and false accusation that James Clapper lied to Congress in 2013.)

This was the first book on the Obama Presidency I have read and I am not sorry that I did. It is nice to know just how lousy a book can be. If you want a well written, intelligent book about the Obama Administration skip this one and wait until a more balanced book is written. President Obama was not a perfect president, but he certainly was not our worse president.

1.0 out of 5 stars A regurgitation of right wing sources
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018
The writers of this piece of historical distortion attempt to place a veneer of respectability by endnoting 1193 sources: however a majority of these are far right reactionary opinion sources (e.g the Daily Caller, the National Review, Brietbart). Even the minimal number of citations to actual news stories (e.g New York Times, Newsweek, Washington Post) are misused as a quick review of those citations show selective use of qoutes or conclusions from those articles. There is no original, thoughtful analysis in this book. If you want to read unsupported conspiracy theories or misleading statements this would fit into that category. It is not a book that will be of any use to any person seeking critical thinking and meaningful insight.

This is a great book from Matt Margolis & Mark Noonan. It's packed with facts that you won't hear from the media. Here's a handful of what you'll find in the book:

Obama nominated John Brennan as CIA Director. This guy is a follower of ISLAM which is counter to the best interests of the United States. Now, Brennan is on the media spreading lies about President Trump.

Islamic Radicals at the White House: In 2012, Obama invited hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood radical Islamists to the White House for meetings.

Obama allowed terror-linked refugees into the US. Obama changed our immigration laws without Congressional authorization to relax restrictions on refugees and asylum seekers. He accepted 10,000 Syrians in 2016 into the US with no screening for terrorism.

2012 Obama bypassed Congress and sent $192 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA). The terrorist organization Hamas is a partner of Palestinian Authority. Five months later, Obama gave the Muslim Brotherhood $450 Million.

Obama negotiated with terrorists and exchanged six terrorists who were being held in a prison, for Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl. He was being held by the Taliban and had coverted to ISLAM.

Obama had a chance to deport the men who did the Boston Marathon bombing but he did not. The two brothers who commited the Boston Marathon bombing came to the US as refugees and were arrested for domestic violence in 2009. Obama could have deported them which would have prevented the Boston Marathon bombing from happening but he chose not to.

Under Obama's administration, at least six terrorist attacks happened on US soil. Obama called these acts "workplace violence" or "damaging federal property" instead of what they were, which is terrorism.

Obama refused to link blatant acts of terrorism with radical ISLAM. The shooter, Omar Matee, pledged allegiance to Allah and ISIS before he started shooting people in the Orlando, Florida nightclub. After the couple in San Bernardino, California, who had pledged their allegiance to Allah and ISIS, shot into a room full of people, Obama went on the media to denounce gun violence.

If the authors decide to write another book about Obama, they could write several volumes just listing each time Obama lied about an issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars An accurate, in-depth account of the Obama legacy
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2018
Verified Purchase
Before purchasing, I thought Obama's record could be covered in 40 or 50 pages, but it turned out to be 365 pages, each describing what was either the most confused, or the most corrupt, Presidential administration in history. There is a lasting impression that, given a logical solution to any particular problem, Obama did the exact opposite of what was required. It is only my opinion, but, discounting a deliberate intent to convert the US government to socialism, Obama's actions only make sense if, after receiving the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, he was operating under the delusion that he could achieve world peace by realigning the US economy, and culture, to conform to an EU-type globalization .

This is a A to Z, definitive look at the legacy of President Obama. The author makes a good case that President Obama was the worst president in our history. I personally think President Carter was our worst president, but President Obama is a close second. Read it and be glad we survived that nightmare.

If you were surprised as to why Obama merited a Nobel peace prize, as was he I believe, then you are probably aware of the democrat manipulation of media and judiciary that protected Obama and cohorts from any controversy. This is really a list, acting as a useful basis for doing your own research, material main-stream media will not give you; if you want the truth, you generally have to find it for yourself. If on the other hand you enjoy being propagandised and react emotionally (something propaganda thrives on) rather than employ critical thinking, then you will not enjoy this "list". Yes there is some bias which can be ignored; if you think of how biased most media has been in painting Obama in a positive light then this is not an issue, unless you like to "pick and choose" a bias you favour, forgetting Libya and ignoring the facts, in which case you are probably not interested in the truth anyway.

Mar 05, 2018rated it it was ok
Well this was a hard read. But in deliberately trying to read books pro and con about presidents this fit the bill for con. Quite biased (as expected) and while it did bring to mind some issues I was unaware of. It was mostly a hit piece and the few items I spot checked for voracity failed horrible. But then it occurred to me to read the book as a blueprint for one way to measure a president. So I compared 8 years of Obama (as depicted in this book), to how Trump has done after one year. Trump did not fair well. This book makes many claims as to this or that test being a good way to tell if someone is a good president and Obama failed (according to the book). Judging Trump by the same scale... guess what he fails too, sometimes spectacularly worse. I can't claim the couple 100 claims are a good judge of a president, they may be more an indictment of the current political scene here in america (partisanship, brinkmanship etc). (less)

I received a free copy of this book for review.

I thought, based on the title, that this would just be one extended rant. It's not. It's actually a collection of factual and objective arguments.

I was impressed by just how much material this book covered. Divided into areas like Domestic Issues, the Economy, Civil Liberties, Foreign Policy, etc., it lists every decision and action that Obama has made and it's impact. Remember Clash for Clunkers? It's in there. The Gibson Guitar Raid? It's there too. And there are a lot of footnotes sourcing everything (more than a thousand).

As someone with a fondness for history, I really like how this book documents the Obama era.

I have a longer review at my blog:

The best political book I have read this year. It's also a great reference for anyone who wants a rundown of everything that has transpired during this era of "Hope and Change" that is (soon to be "was") the Obama Regime. This book is important because the media deliberately ignored most of the events that reflected negatively upon Obama, choosing to disappear those down the memory hole. If you read Margolis & Noonan's book alongside other recent political books written by the Left, the latter read like alternate histories from a parallel universe. Margolis & Noonan have the facts on their side, in a quick read that connects the dots from 2009 to the present and argues that Barack Obama is (soon to be "was" once he leaves office in 2017) the worst president in history. If you notice, the media is working overtime on securing a legacy for Obama...and of course we all know that for the rest of our lives the media will try to aggrandize Obama and make him into something special out of value-signaling. What students of history will be confronted with is the uncomfortable fact that the media has an emotional investment in claiming that Obama was great because he was biracial and his skin color is what is most important to them. Margolis & Noonan present the facts of his presidency and detail all of the corruption, mistakes, arrogance, naiveté, deceit, hubris, machinations, and Alinsky dirty tricks that define this man and his failed regime. The propagandists of the Left will hate this. Academics will despise (and probably try to censor) these inconvenient truths. But no honest and complete portrait of Obama can ever be drawn without the material that Margolis & Noonan artfully present. The text is an easy and quick read and is written in an accessible and conversational style that I found refreshing when compared to other political works. I read the eBook version on my Kindle Fire in early July 2016; I finished the book in two days and recommend it to friends and colleagues. I plan on using it as a research source in my own writing going forward, since it is such an excellent compilation of events in an easy-to-thumb-through format with extensive sourcing of primary and secondary reference materials. I could not recommend it more highly. (less)

This book is not for those who value history.

This book was poorly researched. It read like a neverending blog, which used other blogs as "sources" . No seriously, the authors quoted right wing blogs as sources. I laughed outloud when I read their "proof" of Obama's narcissism. A few examples: He tweeted pictures of himself taken at historical sites, during historical events. He sent his kids to private school. He gave the Queen an IPOD . So much of this book was obviously gaslighting and brainwashing the people who are desperate to make President Obama the scapegoat for the ills of their world. No argument was made, just parroting of the same old junk.
Mu home is host to books about Presidents such as Carter, Reagon,George W. Bush, Clinton and Nixon. This book could not be used as a book end for those valuable and critically books written by true researchers and lovers of history who care about historical FACTS ( note: facts remain the same no matter the politics of the writer).
My final notes
To the critical thinkers who value TRUTh, this blog/book is not for you.
For those who hate President Obama over truth, by all mean enjoy.
To the authors: DO and BE BETTER.

It seems obvious that the book was not a favorable review of Obama’s presidency. It doesn’t need the cheap editorial commentary that seemed to accompany every point.

I’m not an Obama fan. I think he is crooked, and perhaps the most divisive president in our history. I would hazard a guess that nearly all readers are similarly inclined. I don’t believe that the cheap shots help build the case. They only make it harder to read.

Obama, Truly the Worst President

At the beginning of the obama administration, I hoped that he would put into being the promises he made. As time went on I became more & more disappointed with his seemingly "it's about me & my buddies", not America. The Authors by means of their excellent research & method of presentation remind me of why I began to believe obama was actually attempting to weaken & destroy our Great Nation that so many have given so much to build. I began to feel ashamed of how obama treated "average" Americans & our allies world-wide. obama didn't bring us together, he has divided us internally & world-wide. America will heal and again strengthen despite obama. God Bless America!

For everyone wringing their hands about a narcissistic, egomaniacal, dishonest American President in collusion with our countries enemies; this book is a must read for exposing the true "Manchurian Candidate" and his political party that (thankfully) just left office. The current hysteria on our national political scene can easily be recognized as yet further attempts to obfuscate the true legacy of the past 8 years. Hopefully we will not consent to swallowing lies no matter how often and how loudly they are thrown at us by MSM. Hopefully it is not too late to literally save our Nation and the principles that truly made it great. (less)

Good summaries for the reasons why Obama was such a disaster

There is a lot of information here that, for whatever reason, I had failed to glean from various media sources. Most interesting is that he cut funding for the Tomohawk and other naval missile research and development quite substantially at a time when the Russians and Indians had made significant advances in this area. I don't know if Obama was the worst president in history, but he was definitely in the top three, Woodrow Wilson and LBJ being the other two, in my opinion.

Great book providing gentle--and sometimes not so gentle--reminders of some of the lowlights of his presidency. However, to say that he is the worst, comparisons are needed. This requires a working knowledge of American history. Other than occasional comparisons to George W Bush, this book made no such analysis. How did his performance compare to James Buchanan's, or Milliard Fillmore, or others? We don't know because the authors failed to do so. Overall, though, a pretty good read (less)

Would you read The Worst President in History again? Why?
Yes and likely will. There's so many Obama embarrassments and failures, a re-read is almost necessary.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I practically got whiplash from all of the head shaking throughout the entire book. Some of the most headshaking moments: Obama insulting England who has shed blood for our country, threatening Russia then being embarrassed when Russia called his bluff, and the apology tour.

I was astounded by some of the events that occurred during this presidency. I was aware of the main stream points, but the book really laid it all down for me.
