but it's not really a bombshell from what I've read- though he tries hard to slam the President.

I know they are just waiting to say something crazy about the President.

They tell so many FALSE things that it is hard to believe anything they say or do.

He had zero control of his caucus. He didn't have the power to make a deal.

The GOP got played a little. I think they scheduled this book assuming that Bin Laden would be the main bragging point of all the speakers this week. They yak on so much about how Obama has no record to run on that they forgot he actually has a GREAT record to run on.

I think they were assuming it would be all Bin Laden all the time, because, of course, that's what their convention would have been like had a GOP prez been in office. For them, every single speaker would have opened with, "Hey! He got Bin Laden! Suck on that, Dems!"

So this book was perhaps meant to rebut the entire DNC.

Instead, from what I can tell, we've gotten very little of that kind of chest beating. Kal Penn put it out there, but followed it up by commenting we can all get gay-married now! (LOL. Loved him!) So if they thought they could grab the cycle and negate the entire DNC, think again, GOP. You lose.

Most of the people to whom any book like Woodward's, or the Seal's, would appeal are teabilly types.

Trust me; they don't read. If they do, it will just be an excerpt.

I hope it is a " no big deal" book.
