Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007
Excellent read
+ A Book For Our Time....aspiring leaders must read
This is a book that really has not been written before - while it is very high density, it is extremely readable. I enjoyed it!! All young (and older) people should read this and think about it.

The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008
Mark Halperin, John F. Harris
Random House, 2006
The Way to Win
+ Great book - politics today, like it or not (hope you don't)
+ Good for political junkies; some of their 2008 predictions already rendered irrelevant
The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008 is my first attempt to understanding the Political System. I found it very informative in some back history I have missed in my American Education....great history lessons on Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, George Bush, Democrats and ...

A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't Win
Shelby Steele
Free Press, 2007
Anyone who Agrees with this Book will ask: What can the Country Do for Me?
+ Why is Barack Obama hiting a wall at 42% of the vote
+ Fast "Food for Thought"
I read "A bound Man" in about two hours. Partly because it is a provocative, small, and well- paced book. It was my first experience reading a work by Professor Steele. I had heard about his highly acclaimed "The Content of our Character: A New Vision of Race in America", and his ...

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans
Ann Coulter
Crown Forum, 2007
I loved it ;o)
+ Lonely stick-woman calls people names, writes another book
This was my first Ann Coulter book. Since many people said that it contains many thoughts of her old material, I figured it would be a great book to start with. I also had this wild idea that hearing her voice in the CD version might give it some extra power. Ann had me laughing very hard ...

Godless: The Church of Liberalism
Ann Coulter
Three Rivers Press, 2007
In the end, she's right, and she knows it
+ Some Observations About Evolution and Intelligent Design
Ann Coulter is so caustically funny and bitter as she rips through this listing of sacraments in the church of liberalism that at times it appears she can't be serious or sincere. But in the last chapter she wraps it all up in strong words that makes this book worth of the rating.
Our rules ...

I will begin with criticisms of High Crimes & Misdemeanors. These are nagging little criticisms I make because the points I'll allude to are the sorts of things that would make me roll my eyes a little, or excuse myself for a couple of minutes for a breather if this were a conversation rather than ...
