Summary: A Love It or Hate It Bombshell
Review: When I first cracked the cover on Huberman's book, I opened it to a section called the "Bush Economic Recession" on page 111: "According to the Census Bureau's annual report on income and poverty - and contrary to Republican claims - the recession of 2001 to 2003 began in March 2001, and not under Clinton." Wow! What a bombshell. This was not a bunch of whining or political rhetoric. Instead Huberman writes in a crisp, succinct style which he backs with facts. Bush-haters will relish the facts while Bush-lovers will say they are not true. Huberman has written a love it or hate it bombshell that is sure to stir controversy. (BTW as I write this review the news story about Paul O'Neill has come out.O'Neill contends that the Bush administration began to lay the groundwork for an invasion of Iraq just a few days after Bush came into office. O'Neill's book is another one where you will love it or hate it.)

Summary: Bush makes Jesus Cry
Review: When I read what the "reader from Portland Area, OR" had to say I could only shake my head in sadness. To say that a cheat, a documented liar and convicted felon "follows" or "knows" Christ is just bizarre. I think he/she is very typical of the average Bush supporter. They have a very distorted view of the world and what Jesus is all about. I truly wish God would come back and rid of us of ignorance and the people that spread such hatred for those that don't "believe" as they do. Let's all pray that these ultra-right wing conservative Christians figure out that the bible was not written by God, but by men, like Bush, that twisted God's words with each translation in order to keep control over their people. The God I as well as many other Christians pray to does not support such hatred and discrimination. He loves all and forgives all. Even ultra-conservative, ignorant white trash ;-)

Summary: Not a fan of Bush...or this book
Review: While the book is an easy read, it's hardly a serious examination of the issues. If you are a Bush-hater, this book will reinforce your hatred. If you're a Bush supporter, this book will reinforce your disdain for the Bush-haters. If you're really looking for an honest and intellectual review of the Bush presidency, this is not the book for you. Huberman's arguments are blatently one-sided, and he uses the same arguments to criticize Bush that we've all heard before. While the author documents most of his points, few sources are credible (most of the sources cited here are other Bush-haters, not political scholars or historians). Bottom line: there's nothing new here.

Summary: Very Good
Review: While there are better "reads" out there, like "The Price of Loyalty", if there is one book that you should buy to get a bird's eye view of the damage this adminstration is causing, it's this one. The reason is that it is concise and has a broader scope than the others I have read. It's almost like a pocket reference. On a side note - I really have to hand it to the Republican supporters of this president for their loyalty. This administration has been so remarkably, incredibly, deceitful and awful, if I was a Republican I would tell people otherwise, let alone defend Bush or vote for him. But - I digress.

Summary: This is Why We Democrats Continue to Lose
Review: You do not win with blind hate. These hate filled / tear people down tactics started with Paul Begala and James Carville in 1992. It won the Presidency, but it was a short term approach that created a long term problem. Hating President Bush is a moronic position for Democrats. The hate method has lost us the White House, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Most Governorships, Most State Senates and Most State Houses. It was the reverse in 1993. This book is only good for what not to do. Do not follow it. Bush is going to be re-elected in a landslide thanks to the misguided, unproductive hate of books like this.
Rating:
Summary: Read this book with an open mind
Review: You read books like this with an open mind and you will agree with reviewers lke Seth Franzmann that Bush is indeed a revolutionary. So, too, were Stalin and Pol Pot.
Given Bush's record on the environment, to compare him to a conservationist like TR is ludicrous.
Read this book for plenty of usable ammo against knee-jerk conservatives who are Bush enablers, if nothing else by the desperate resort of "blame Clinton."
