When Bill O'Reilly interviewed then-Senator Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential elections, the two had a lively debate about the nation's future.
Since that time, America has changed rapidly—some would even say seismically. And many believe these shifts are doing more than just rocking the political and social climate; they're rocking the American core.
What are these changes? Who, in addition to President Obama, have been the biggest forces behind them? What exactly do they mean for you, the everyday American citizen? How are they affecting your money, health, safety, freedom, and standing in this nation? Which are Pinheaded moves and which are truly Patriotic? In his latest spirited book, O'Reilly prompts further debate with the President and the American people on the current state of the union.
After five consecutive, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is megabestsellers, you can count on Bill to offer blunt and constructive political commentary. And as he did in his popular memoir, he offers some introspection too, looking back at his own actions and those of past Pinheads and Patriots who have inspired a code of conduct for such taxing times.
As always, O'Reilly is fair, balanced, and uncompromisingly tough when guarding the American way. Only Pinheads would fail to fight for what they love most about this country or to embrace some measure of change to make it better. The rest of us Patriots will read this book to discover the difference between the two.

Pinheads and Patriots
I "like" Bill O'Reilly, on the whole, but I don't always agree with him. Some of you who have read other reviews and comments by me will know that I am of a "somewhat" conservative mind set. :) If you are under the impression the O'Reilly is a (so called) "died in the wool" conservative, then you don't know him. He is abrasive, confrontational, very self assured and does his best to be fair. Personally I believe he's incorrect in some of his beliefs and assumptions, and correct in others.
That's what this book and others like it are...opinion and defense of opinion. After all, if you don't believe you're right (correct)...why do you hold a given opinion?
This is an interesting book dealing largely with President Obama but also discussing Mr. O'Reilly's "take" on other people both historical and contemporary. It's a fairly cogent take on things and even if I don't agree with the author I find his opinions somewhat... understandable.
I have one "niggle"... I found a couple of (possibly minor) factual errors (for example he says Audie Murphy was drafted. Murphy tried repeatedly to enlist and finally with his sisters help managed to enlist at 17. He also stated that General Eisenhower didn't "sack" General Patton. Actually he did sack Patton but later gave him another command under his old second in command General Bradley...just a couple). These are not big and do not take away from his overall take on these people (or others) but I think fact checking would have increased the books credibility.
But (to use the same word again) overall I like the book and can recommend it. Even if you think you will disagree, consider trying it. The transcript of the interview with the president and his actions since the interview alone make worth the time.
Also if you haven't watched, listened to or read Mr. O'Reilly before, but think you know about him from third party sources... read it for yourself. He might surprise you. He's not my favorite commentator, but as I said I believe he does his best to be open minded and evenhanded.
4 stars.
