Fleeced by Dick Morris
This is another Dick Morris must read. I have heard conservative talk radio talk about Congress trying to get rid of them. WHY? More people listen to TV than talk radio and being a registered Independent, I am continually irritated by Charlie Gibson, Diane Sawyer, ...

Bacevich Nails It!
In this critique of American citizens, Bacevich takes a hard look at the citizenry's role in the current economic, political, and military crisis. The author is a retired colonel, which means I give a lot more credence to what he has to say. In fact, the gravitas ...

I used to be a Republican until reading this book!
Just pure, from the heart, quality work from a true patriot of the United States. Don't judge this man until you read what he believes. I was a diehard Republican until giving him a chance. I'm so glad I made the decision to read this fine work. Go Obama!

Uplifting
The LL changed the way I look at my life. Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results is a book that did the same for me at work. Someone gave them both to me and suggested I read them together and I'm glad he did!

Threshold Editions
, 2008
Very Interesting
It is truly amazing as I do my own research into some of the issues raised, that Mr. Obama seems to be getting a pass on some of these issues. His entire judgmeent of character is called into question based on his associations alone but we are barely hearing a peep ...

Buy it. Read it. Vote.
