5 HIGHEST - 1 LOWEST STARS: 2 Stars
READ IT OR SKIP IT? SKIP IT
WHO MIGHT LIKE/HATE THIS BOOK? I think anyone who LOVES politics and HATES Obama will enjoy this book. Anyone who isn't strongly opinionated one way or the other probably will not enjoy this book. If you're not THAT into politics, skip this book. You have got to really be into politics or strongly dislike Obama to enjoy this book.
BOOK REVIEW:
I am a little into politics and I am very unhappy with the Obama's administration, but still I did not enjoy this book. It was long and drawn out. Way too much fluff. Pretty much, the book is about the ways Obama failed: how he failed our economy, our values, and our freedoms. It also portrays this smiling, charasmatic man as having a very different side from that seen in the media: a dangerous side, easily selling his soul and to get to the top. A man with a very direct political agenda that was hidden from voters prior to the 2008 presidential election. A man who easily makes promises sky high, then just as easily and carelessly breaks every single one of them. A man who's many many lies easily roll off his tongue while smiling and nodding. But then, if you are not fond of Obama, you may already know all this about the man. So reading this book will tell you nothing very new. If you love Obama, you may just dismiss the author as being anti-Obama and continue worshipping the president.
This book covers many media stories and a few of which you may not have heard. It covers Obama's promise not to raise taxes and his promise to lower taxes for 95% and also how he effectively will crush America with taxes (something I didn't know). How Obama ends up squashing the the poor and making them even poorer through his policies. How Obamacare destroys the economy and small businesses. How Obama lied about how he increased jobs but the unemployment rate is the highest it's ever been. Pretty much, this book is a fair truthful assessment of Obama's presidency (with a lead towards showing a bit too much love for the Republicans). The book tells a good story and has good facts, it's just too long and drawn out and feels too scattered. I'm sure there are other books critical of Obama that do a better job of getting to the point.
