The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 429min
He's the media's darling, an inspiration to many, and the answer to everything from healthcare to taxes. He is Barack Obama - the silver-tongued senator with a phrase for everything and a promise for everyone. Sound too good to be true? That's what David Freddoso, investigative reporter and National Review Online columnist, examines in The Case Against Barack Obama.In this shocking expose, Freddoso explores the reality behind the rhetoric, the plans behind the promises, and the faults the facade, revealing: Why Obama's inexperience and extreme left-wing voting record are more dangerous than any threat we face today. Why the Rev. Wright debacle reveals Obama's poor judgment of character and deceitful nature. Why it won't be politics of change with President Obama - it will be liberal politics as usual. Freddoso exposes the real Barack Obama: a typical big-government politician, the number-one most liberal U.S. senator, and - if he were commander-in-chief - a serious threat to our national security. ungekürzt.

Fire and Rain: The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, CSNY and the Lost Story of 1970 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 670min
January 1970: the Beatles assemble one more time to put the finishing touches on Let It Be; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are wrapping up Déjà Vu; Simon and Garfunkel are unveiling Bridge Over Troubled Water; James Taylor is an upstart singer-songwriter who's just completed Sweet Baby James. Over the course of the next twelve months, their lives---and the world around them---will change irrevocably. Fire and Rain tells the story of four iconic albums of 1970 and the lives, times, and constantly intertwining personal ties of the remarkable artists who made them. Acclaimed journalist David Browne sets these stories against an increasingly chaotic backdrop of events that sent the world spinning throughout that tumultuous year: Kent State, the Apollo 13 debacle, ongoing bombings by radical left-wing groups, the diffusion of the antiwar movement, and much more. Featuring candid interviews with more than 100 luminaries, including some of the artists themselves, Browne's vivid narrative tells the incredible story of how---over the course of 12 turbulent months---the '60s effectively ended and the '70s began. ungekürzt.

George S. Patton: Command , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 119min
Here is a concise biography of the life of the legendary American field commander of World War II, George S Patton, Jr. Patton was the iconic American field commander of the war, and is widely regarded as the US Army's finest practitioner of mechanized warfare. Having chased bandits in the Mexican border war of 1917, he led the first US tank units in World War I. After the Kasserine Pass debacle in North Africa in 1943, he redeemed the US Army's reputation with victories in Tunisia and later on Sicily in July 1943. But Patton's greatest fame would come a year later during the breakout from Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, and the crossing of the Rhine. Patton's exploits are described and analyzed here in this new study of one of the most interesting and controversial figures in American military history. Contents include: Introduction The early years The military life The hour of destiny Inside the mind When war is done A life in words ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Trevor White.

The Bench , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
Set in New York in the early 1930s, this love story is my first attempt and I hope you like it. It does have adult language, but it is not intended to be lewd in any way. I had a good time doing the research for the period, birds and photographic processes of the time. My only experience with New York was a train ride from Philadelphia to Boston. A quick stop in NY turned into a 6 hour debacle when we didn't get back to our train on time, according to Amtrak, but that's a story for another day. Born and raised in California, I attended Chico State where I earned a B.S. in Business Management with an emphasis on financial management. I've worked in the bicycle industry, for Kinko's and as the CEO of Over The Net for the last 15 years. I've seen a lot, done a lot and intend to do more, so thanks for your time and consideration for listening to this tale I've spun. Ever forward! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael C.

Queen Elizabeth II by Cecil Beaton: A Diamond Jubilee Celebration, Victoria & Albert Museum: Through the Lens, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 6min
The work of the photographer, theatrical designer, narcissist, snob, careerist, and exceptionally talented Cecil Beaton (1904-1980), including 18,000 vintage prints, negatives and transparencies, contact sheets and 45 books of cuttings are at the Victoria & Albert Museum. They have all been brilliantly culled for the alluring and significant exhibition of some of Beaton's royal portraits, billed as A Diamond Jubilee Celebration. Sir Roy Strong put Beaton firmly back on the map after he had gone out of fashion with a dazzling 1968 compilation at the National Portrait Gallery. He is firmly of the view that Beaton's imagery of the royals saved the royals as far as the public were concerned after the debacle of the abdication. Indeed, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother wrote to Beaton in 1963 thanking him for "producing us as really quite nice and real people". "Producing" is the operative verb: Beaton staged the royals. The V&A's presentation shows us just how much Beaton has made his view of the royals ours. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denise Kahn.
