The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism
Andrew Bacevich
Metropolitan Books, 2008
Paying the price for a distorted idea of "freedom"
When I read books like this one about America's descent into empire, the threshold question for me is always, to what extent does the author blame George W. Bush (or related bugaboos like Cheney, Rumsfeld, John Yoo, the Weekly Standard, etc.) for the state of the ...

Jerome R. Corsi
Threshold Editions, 2008
obama nation
A must read for every voter. Obama's dishonesty concerning his past, his dangerous connections, and his plans for America's future is mindboggling. God help us if more people don't read this book and avoid "buying" into his corrupt ideology.

The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism
Ron Suskind
Harper, 2008
How Do You Spell Impeachable Offense ??
Have mercy!! What to say. Saw the author in an inteview say it's written like a movie. True enough. It's a screenplay, shouldn't be any problem getting it into film. Only thing is, maybe where it belongs is on the committee where Rep. Kucinich's articles of impeachment ...

May not like Morris but liked the book, excellent info
The information within this book should be a required reading of all in politics on how not to govern. Of course, it is an example of how to spend and get your way in our government. Even worse in respects to the Obama info is the lacking of experience, the media in ...

The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate
David Freddoso
Regnery Publishing, 2008
This guy is dangerous for the USA
It bothers me a great deal when the media covers up for a candidate they are pushing and this book enforces this feeling. Many of the things brought forward in the book have been ignored by the Obama camp or spun. If he and his cronies are afraid to let these issues ...

Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
Unexpected emotional moments
I heard much about this book; many have written reviews about this book. I expected a heroic story about white man goes to brown country, sees horrible plight, saves brown people. It is about the journey of Greg Mortenson - but in his journey you "see" the people of ...
