Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, and Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments Are Scamming Us...and What to Do about It

The Book of Change whose time has come now!

What a great book by Dick Morris. He was an insider during the Bill Clinton presidency and was the one responsible, in large part to getting him elected, twice. He provides insider knowledge an insight into how our government really works and who the players are and what they are doing. Dick Morris names names and specifics of what is really happening in the democratically controlled congress, aptly named 'the do nothing congress' due to the fact that in 2 years of their rule, they've only passed 294 laws which is the lowest in history. Since they've been in power, the've ruined our economy. Gasoline prices doubled. Unemployment is the highest in 5 years. People are losing their homes. They won't let us drill for our own oil as we are sending the arabs $700 BILLION a year. WTF?! This book fleeced shows us how these elected officials are profiting off of the current existing system in Washington. They must go after that lobbying money just to have the funds to run for or get elected. All of them, from both parties are getting money from someone. Even the rich politicians like the Kennedies and Kerries of the world. They aren't sitting there using their own money to get elected or re-elected. They are getting money from lobbiests and special interest groups. This book is very insightful into how things really work in Washington and why nothing ever gets fixed or changed for the better. Too bad this book isn't up to date as of yesterday as the democrat from New York, Charles Rangle has just been caught for income tax evasion on some island resort rental property he owns and also four slum tennaments in NY that he owns, or something to that effect in NY. If that isn't bad enough, the kicker is that Charles Rangle is the head of the House Ways and Means commitee(?) which is the committee that writes the tax laws against us. Just note the hypocrasy of this. The democrats actually run for office on campaign promises to raise our taxes and they do and here is one that is one of the major ones who makes us pay more and while at the same time he is not paying those same taxes himself. He even has the nerve to float the media balloon out there that he shouldn't lose his job/career over this matter. He shouldn't? All the rest of us would get penalties, interest and maybe even jail over this. But he is part of the current political insider class that is untouchable in washington democratic politics. He should be forced to step down for the good of the democratic party. This is the kind of stuff that you will find in this insightful and powerful book, 'FLEECED' by Dick Morris. I hope he adds an update to cover the latest corruption happening now in Washington and throughout the land. Knowledge is power and we need reform now! We need to get rid of all the incumbants and install reformers who can clean up the corruption in Washington.

Sick of liberals

After reading some of the reviews I couldn't help myself. Why is it when someone questions the fabric of the corruption of liberal politics, it's fabricated or an illusion? Even when it's one of your former fellow liberals saying it, you still can't face the facts! Dick Morris worked side by side with the tainted Clintons and he has seen first hand what trouble we faced then and face now. You can't believe a Republicans words but you can quote every word from Obama's GHOST WRITTEN memoir like it's the Bible. And no Dick isn't bitter, he's enlightened. You guys will be too in four years. Remember, liberals have turned republican but a republican has never turned liberal.

Terriby Biased

No information in this book is based on facts, Just talking points from talk show nonsense. A one sided rant rant.

Dick Morris... Fox News Prostitute...

First off, i would like to thank David Freddosso, Dick Morris, Jerome Corsi, Brad O'Leary, and all the other anti-Obama writers and pundits for giving Barack Obama so much attention. Thanks to you guys Obama is doing great in the polls. So keep it up you cute little neo-cons. Not even Clinton, Gore and Kerry got this much attention. the more you people continue to spin your right wing agenda the more Obama makes all of you look like fools. oh and by the way don't blame yourselves for the failure of McCain and Palin.... it was the best you could do, at least it was a step up from Bush.

Well, this book ended up in the burning leaf pile. . .

Dickless Morris, is Ann Coulter's fraternal twin, this man has decided that he can no longer work in politics due to the lies he tells about people, so he has decided to market those lies for profit! AMERICA, AIN'T IT GREAT!

Morris tells it like it is.

If you want to really understand what is going on politically;Morris will explain it to you.Morris is the one person O'Reilly doesn't argue with.

A Political Read

My spouse really wanted this book after seeing the author on television and being intrigued by his opinions. There are several very good points about current political and economic situations. However, we found the writing style to be rather ponderous which made it a slow and difficult read.

Interesting but a dull read

It has interesting information but it reads like a textbook. It is very slow to read.

The Truth!

As a corporate director I am very concerned about the direction our nation is heading particularly in the areas of trade deficits, loss of manufacturing, lack of immigration reform and our wrong-headed energy policies (using our corn for fuel; how stupid is this). But more than these concerns are the concerns for my family and the American way of life. I can live with an incompetent government to a degree, but now our very lives are at stake due to our lose of direction.

This book is a must read for everyone that believes our nation and our way of life is important. As the book so adeptly points out, we are on a slippery slope and help does not seem to be on the horizon. Neither Congress nor the executive branch offers any hope. Our current presidential candidates are under-whelming to say the least. Maybe if Palin and Biden were on top of the ticket I would feel better - probably not.

Please read this important book and pass along the information to others. The information is disturbing but very real and well researched. Just in case you're wondering, I vote Republican. Michael L. Gooch, SPHR

Fleeced

A very clear study and forcast for the current Democrat agenda. If all that is written comes true we, as a nation, will suffer badly. Hopefully there will be a revolt by the Republicans or tax paying citizens to stop this from happening. This path toward socialism and tax payer rape must stop.

Great Information

Would not recommend reading Dick Morris Back-to-Back, just too much politics in too little time, but his books are full of great information and facts!

Not finished chewing on that bitterness pill Dick?

Dick Morris needs to stop taking his bitterness over being rejected by the Clinton administration out on all Democrats and take his ball and go home and shut up

Great Book

This is a really good book and if you watch him on Hannity & Colmes you will find it interesting. These book reviews are for mature, honest people to give their feedback...not for liberals to scan the sight for books by conservatives and leave nasty reviews. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you dont somewhat agree with him you probably wont enjoy the book very much. This book is not mean-spirited toward liberals (as many are on the opposite side) so it is very interesting. It would make a neat gift for someone...obviously some of these hippie reviewers who left reviews for a book they didn't read would NOT like the book IF they read it.
