Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-27 00:00:00 Mario Vela I didn't read this when it was published back in 2009. The main reason then was that my wife had been in a long term illness which was progressively worse. She passed away in Aug. 2009. However I read this now (2017) when the Obama regime is passed. It gives an interesting perspective. Any of you who have read many of my reviews know that I generally fall into the political grouping called "conservative". Now that can mean a lot of things and I find that those left of center usually have a rather stereotypical idea about me or anyone else termed "Conservative". These ideas are more often than not incorrect (wrong) and based on what they have gleaned from left wing spokespeople, mostly in the media...and since the "media" is overwhelmingly "liberal" or left there are a lot of "spokespeople" to choose from. A while back I reviewed a book here which is a very left wing version of American History. There are now 214 likes on that review and 219 comments...most of which are ad hominem attacks. I have been (in comments to this review and others where my views come to the front) called names, racist, hater, a "deplorable" human being (haven't we seen the "deplorables" thing somewhere else recently??? Oh well.) So anyway here we look at the media's relationship with Barack Hussein Obama and I know going in that sensibilities will be....what...damaged? Maybe I should just say feathers will be ruffled? Here we look back at the left's (note that now anything right of center is called "Conservative" [or something insulting] and those left of center are called "moderate".) high hopes and dreams for the Obama presidency. Now we can see that all he really accomplished was spending more than every president before him combined and leaving a $20.4 TRILLION...yes great, great, great grandchildren it was the Obama generation who sent you the debt you'll still be paying off for the next century (or two). It has been recognized by (probably the majority of) Americans that the main stream media is heavily liberal (leftist) and that when Pres. Obama ran the majority were simply and plainly in his camp. Look I know up front that many will never pick this book up and hate me for recommending it. That said if you are able give the book a read. The ratings tend to be "1 star or 5 stars', it obviously runs along ideological lines. However the statements are simple factual statements and the arguments are backed by facts. Yes there are a few laughs...but then looking at the situation we could use a few laughs. Recommended to those who can manage an open mind.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-01 00:00:00 Diane Hesler The New York Times wrote more stories about the tax filings of Joe the Plumber than it did about the combined tax evasion of three nominated Presidential cabinet candidates. The pregnancy status of a Vice Presidential candidate's daughter received 10 times more front page coverage than a Presidential candidate's 20 + year relationship with an outspoken bigot who preached hatred towards America. Why?
