Carol Channing look a-likeJune 28, 2008 11 out of 59 found this review helpful
This clown was fired from the Clinton's for telling secrets to a prostitute. Now, this Carol Channing sounding girly-girl is profiting off of the Clinton's. This book is awful. the same old drivel I've read before. At least Hannity tries to keep things new and interesting. Not this loser.
Doubt 1 Star reviewers even read the bookJune 27, 2008 44 out of 87 found this review helpful
Great book and really pointed out how our ENTIRE government is letting us down. Sadly it has made me more cynical about this country's future, since it seems like our choices are being made others. From what this book talks about it is becoming more and more difficult to change the path. Regardless who gets elected to congress or president, the system seems to be against us!
Funny how most of the people who gave this book 1 star did not try to refute the "obvious" faults of the book. They just went on and on with very similar comments about Morris being a right-wing, Fox news, O'Reily, etc tool. Nothing at all about any substance that they can refute, just rants about how conservatives are inherently evil and they obviously are smarter than the rest cause they can see through it all. What a bunch of elitist who just think that because they say someone is wrong people are too stupid to figure out what they are really doing - simply character assassination without addressing the actual material. Talk about the BOOK to prove your point that the BOOK was bad.
Check out some of the past reviews of these one star guys. It seems as though their full time job is to "review" conservative books and "show" us that they are ALL horrible books and even more horrible authors. One guy even reviewed a book on "touring Cuba" and said it was very helpful on his last trip. Although it does not prove he is a communist or even anti-American, it certainly doesn't help to paint them as the opposite. Just found it humorous.
Hard Hitting - No One is UntouchedJune 26, 2008 56 out of 95 found this review helpful
Morris does an amazing job going on the offensive across the board whether 'conservative' or 'liberal." The only thing that is telling about where he is coming from is having "Barack Obama" in the subtitle. The book is a quick read with insets that highlight his concerns. So, if you agree with Barack Obama, you will at least see from Morris' point of view, some of the direction he is wanting to take.
The book is also very wide ranging, it discusses difference of opinion on terrorism, interestingly, things you have to search to find out. His take on the attempts of terrorism in the USA that were thwarted since 9-11 is reminscent of the book "American Jihad." Did you know that one of those released from Gitmo was a Taliban leader who returned to continue fighting?
He takes on Hillary, McCain and Obama in their run for the presidency yet leaving their work as Senators, what they are being paid to do now. The congress has only met a handful of time to vote and many are no shows. He takes on Haliburton, so anyone who thinks that this is a rant against the Dems, well, that seems wrong in my opinion.
He is concerned about the number of teachers who are abandoning their profession, education is receiving so much less funding than healthcare and will most likely continue to receive much more.
I did not like some of his earlier books, since he had left the Clinton administration, I felt he was on a tirade against them in particular and that is not my cup of tea.
However, his ranting in this book comes off as a warning that we may want to still have an anchor in the center of things, politically, commercially, socially and economically. Whether it is who is being paid what for Lobbying of anything of the use of pension funds to promoting the whims of someone who states he hates the USA.
An interesting book. Worth the read whether you consider yourself liberal or conservative.
Morris hits the nail on the headJune 26, 2008 20 out of 47 found this review helpful
In watching Alan Combes of Hannity & Combes try to defend those Morris and his wife have brought out into daylight, it was almost commical. You can't defend the actions of the people who Morris is uncovering. A wonderful read.

An important read for the informed voterJune 26, 2008 27 out of 50 found this review helpful
Fleeced discusses the agendas of the big business, big government, big labor, big lobbyists and the radical left and the consequences thereof. It has an obvious conservative bent but isn't only one-sided in its critique. Because it's not sugar coated it oftentimes isn't easy to swallow.
This book is an important read whether you are planning to vote for Obama, McCain or are still undecided. An informed voter is a responsible voter.
