This book has more cheesy songs than
the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy and any episode of Solid Gold combined!
And focusing on stupid things like that and what Mort Sauer had to say about
campaign finance reform is what made this book tedious at best.
That’s not entirely true. When the
author stuck to the facts and not the factoids, the book was pretty good. And I
had read one of the author’s later works (about the hobbies and down times of
Presidents, which was actually pretty good). I think having waited to read this
book during the election was a poor choice. I thought it would be novel. But, I
have come to realized that in 50 plus elections, nothings really changed
between Obama and McCain.
Shocked? Well, you shouldn’t. It’s
not the first time a black male as run for the office. It’s actually the 5th!
And McCain is not the first one to nominate a woman for VP. In fact, before
Hillary, a woman ran for president with a black for VP in the 1880s! So much
for “first time history in this year’s election!”
Now what really shocked me was that
this is not the first time an administration has tried a bank bail-out plan. In
fact, it’s happen at least twice. And guess what, neither worked and we ended up
in a Depression. One around 1886 and then the big one in ’29. Frightening
stuff.
And if it were up to me, I’d put a
large sign on all our borders with the following sign:
“Abandon all hope, Ye all who
enter”. Because, if it hasn’t been fixed in 230+ years, what makes you think
either party is going do much to change that.
