Culture of Corruption

Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies

By: Michelle Malkin

Narrated by: Johnny Heller

Length: 8 hrs and 48 mins

Publisher's summary

The era of hope and change is dead...and it only took six months in office to kill it. Never has an administration taken office with more inflated expectations of turning Washington around. Never have a media-anointed American Idol and his entourage fallen so fast and hard.

In her latest investigative tour de force, New York Times best-selling author Michelle Malkin delivers a powerful, damning, and comprehensive indictment of the culture of corruption that surrounds Team Obama's brazen tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. In Culture of Corruption, Malkin reveals:

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 100 days of appointments became a litany of embarrassments 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 money to enrich themselves and expand their power

How Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists are ruining the economy and helping their friends

In Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin lays bare the Obama administration's seamy underside that the liberal media would rather keep hidden.

You go girl.

Where does Culture of Corruption rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Possibly number 1.

What other book might you compare Culture of Corruption to and why?

You may compare her to cooulter or Ingram but shis is much more passionate and not an entertainer. Ms. Malkin is a thinker.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I am moved by Michele's honesty and ability to express it.

Poor narrator makes listening unbearable

While I like the writings of Michelle Malkin, I will have to say everyone should AVOID the narrator Johnny Heller. From the get go, his voice drones on. It is very annoying trying to listen to and understand anyone whose voice is not strong. This one keeps fading out to the point that one cannot even hear half of what is being said. A voice that is this distracting totally ruins the listening experience. I will be buying the hard copy so I can understand what the author has written. I truly wasted the money on this audible pick. Shame! In all the years I have been using Audible, I have had only one other book that I stopped listening to because of the narrator.

Unbelievable corruption at the highest levels

Would you listen to Culture of Corruption again? Why?

Yes I'd listen to it again. So many examples of crime and corruption fade over time, which I am sure that Obama and cronies are counting on.

What other book might you compare Culture of Corruption to and why?

I've read none quite this informative before.

What does Johnny Heller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

A higher sense of urgency to clean house in D.C.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, there were just too many unbelievable examples of wrong doing to digest all at once.

Any additional comments?

Please America, wake up and remove this crowd in Washington before they finish destroying our great country!

Narration makes or breaks an audiobook!!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. The narration will wipe away many IQ points from any listener. Only if you are a genius who can spare the IQ change would I recommend this audiobook.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Barak Obama--only I wish that he were a work of fiction. Unfortunately, he is real. Fortunately, people like Mrs. Malkin write books that help to expose the blunders of leftists. Also unfortunate, however, is that I bet Mrs. Malkin has never listened to this book. The narrator should be regulated out of this business---oh, sorry, I was channeling a leftist who always wants to look to regulations to solve problems.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Johnny Heller?

Helen Keller, perhaps? Almost anyone else. The narration was very much distracting.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes. Unless it was narrated by Johnny Heller--probably nice gentleman but this was not his best work, I believe.

Any additional comments?

If this were someone's first audiobook, it would turn that person away from the whole world of audiobooks. Think twice before listening to this one; it might be better to get through the book the old-fashioned way: reading!

If only some of it's true, it's frightening!

If you could sum up Culture of Corruption in three words, what would they be?

Well researched.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Jonah Goldberg

Have you listened to any of Johnny Heller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

He does well in all his readings.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

All moments are riveting.

Any additional comments?

Not a soft listen. But intellectually challenging....to understand the political system.

Fascinating

This book should be reviewed by the authorities and each allegation should be evaluated as to whether there further investigation is required. I come from the state where they convicted, and then threw out the conviction of our long-term Senator based on much flimsier alleged misdeeds. Clearly, much research has been done and this book deserves to be a bestseller.

Very hard to listen to such great content

What made the experience of listening to Culture of Corruption the most enjoyable?

I love Michelle Malkin and have been interested in reading this book since it came out and decided to finally get it here on audible. What a mistake. The content has basically been ruined for me because I have had such difficulty listening to the narrator.

What didn’t you like about Johnny Heller’s performance?

Kind of monotone basically, but something more about his overall tone that seemed to grate on my nerves.

This Blows the "Obama had no scandals" myth away.

How often have you seen that claim? "8 years in office. 0 scandals." Yeah right. This book is a long list of crimes of Obama's administration before and after he took office. His administration was most certainly comprised of swamp leeches, eager to cheat and drain the American people.
Malkin did a great job with this; as always. It is well narrated.

Good Analysis of Obama's Chicago Mafioso mentality

Conservatives will love her detailed description of dirty politics in the Obama administration. Chicago corruption has moved to the white house. Scary what another 4-years of Obama will do to the once capitalistic American culture.

Makes its point, but struggles to do so

What did you love best about Culture of Corruption?

It gave a number of facts and figures about the people in our government and the people who may have been placed in our government.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Nothing, it is what it is.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

The extent to which our current administration is an extension of Chicago politics.

Any additional comments?

The book did seem to extrapolate the deeds outside of national politics to the Obama administration. This is not surpising concidering the views ot the author.
