MY BOOK BEGINNING
The Founding Fathers would be appalled by the modern presidency.-- The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents: From Wilson to Obama by Steven F. Hayward.
This is exactly what I need for a refresher course on 20th+ Century Presidents. Hayward is as witty and irreverent as ever. And he gets right to the point with his system of grading US Presidents on how strictly they adhered to their oath to uphold the Constitution. I'm learning while I'm laughing.
This one sounds like a significant book! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt´s an interesting beginning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting BBF! :D
Haha! Love that first line!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book I'd like. Going to look for it!
ReplyDeleteHi Gilion,
ReplyDeleteLove those first lines, so straight to the point, no messing!
I think that there should be a book like this for every country, because governments the world over fail to uphold their election promises and their constitutional pledges.
Thanks for hosting and not too much laughter as you read this one please!!
Have a good weekend,
Yvonne
