Book Reviews of Meet the Next PresidentBook Review: Worthless. Completely biased with half truths and lazy analysis Summary: 1 StarsThis has got to be one of the most poorly written, biased, partisan, works I've ever read. Look Mr. Sammon, if you're going to write a synopsis on political issues in an informative way, at least be accurate and thorough in your analysis. The Mitt Romney chapter looked promising and appeared to be non-biased. But as soon as I've read the following chapters (particularly Sen. Clinton's chapter), the right-wing biased became too clear. But that's not the worse. The lazy analysis of all of the candidates on the issues, the lack of issues, and the lack of candidtates covered made this a pitiful book.
According to the book all of the Democrats are in favor of nationalized universal health care where as all of the Republicans are against it. Question Mr. Sammon, what exactly is nationalized universal healpth care. Is it single payer health-care system proposed by Truman in 1950? Is it "Hillary-Care" universal mandate that Clinton proposed in 1993? If both classify as univerval health care, what's the difference between "Hillary-Care" and Romney's "mandatory health insurance"? Wouldn't Romney be in favor of universal health care if universal mandate is understood to be part of definition of universal health care? Another thing, Sen. Obama isn't in favor of universal health care. The only thing he's going to do is apply the "Romney-Clinton" care to minors and leave the adults' plan the way it is. As for immigration Mr. Sammon, you mention guess workers for some, but not all of the candidates. You mention amnesty for some, not all. You also border patrol for some, not all. Why variate from candidate to candidate?
Where are the issues? On taxes their is only mention of Bush's tax plan. No mention of any of the candidates' view on Fair Tax or mention of the middle class tax cuts proposed by some of the Democrats. You only mention Huckabee's record of raising taxes on the wealthy but not his advocacy of the Fair Tax Plan that would abolish the IRS. You don't mention education, trade, the economy, election reform nor direct democracy. Where are the candidates? Former Sen. Mike Gravel was the first candidate to declare his run within the Democratic party. Where's his chapter? What about Rep. Paul, Rep. Hunter, Rep. Kucinich, Sen. Dodd, Sen. Brownback and Sen. Biden? Were they not running for president at the time you wrote the book? What can I say, a direct product of the elite media.
Summary of Meet the Next PresidentBarack Obama once came close to injecting heroin, but balked when a junkie pulled out the needle and rubber tubing. Obama and Mitt Romney are descended from polygamous great-grandfathers who had five wives apiece. Rudy Giuliani's first wife was his second cousin. Liberal Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton was once a conservative Republican "Goldwater Girl."Such are the plot twists in the remarkable saga of the 2008 presidential campaign, which is brimming with enough colorful characters to populate a Russian novel. On second thought, no novelist would dare invent such an audacious cast of characters in a single work of fiction. After all, who could be expected to believe in the existence of Fred Thompson, an actor who has grown tired of playing presidents on TV? Or John Edwards, a populist who pays $400 for a haircut? Or John McCain, an aging war hero who can't stop alienating his own party? And yet one of these all-too-human mortals will soon become the most powerful person on the planet. The competition is fierce and the contest historic. For the first time in more than half a century, the field of White House hopefuls does not include an incumbent president or vice president. That means 2008 is a wide-open race on both sides of the political aisle. Bestselling author Bill Sammon, senior White House correspondent for the Washington Examiner, has conducted hours of exclusive interviews with the candidates and their most trusted advisers. Sammon, a political analyst for Fox News Channel, goes behind the scenes to answer the crucial questions: Who are these candidates? What do they stand for? How are they running their campaigns? Readers will come away with the knowledge to answer their own set of questions: Who can be trusted to prosecute the next phase of the war on terror? Who deserves the awesome power to appoint the next Supreme Court justices, whose momentous decisions will impact Americans for generations? Who can best guide the world's sole superpower into the second decade of the twenty-first century, when rogue regimes could alter the global balance of power with nuclear weapons? In short, who will be the 44th president of the United States?
