Well researched and highly readable. Dick Morris, former politcal advisor to Bill Clinton, and Attorney Eileen McGann use logic backed up by statistics to spotlight concerns about the financial bailouts, health care reform, the war on terror and how privileged insiders and special interests can or are changing America. Chapter titles like "Obama's War on Prosperity', "The United States Sends Aid to Hamas" and "Stealth Lobbyists: The Former Congressional Leaders Who Secretly Influence Federal Policies and Spending" are self explanatory and informative.

I didn't give it 5 stars because the read seems at times to dip into a conservative rant and speculation. Overall, however, the facts are presented and the case for concern is made on a number of important issues. Best of all, as opposed to other books, this one gives action agendas for each problem on what we, the people, can do about them.
