Between the linesAugust 19, 2007 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The style is smart and at times engaging, but between the lines you can tell this guy is plain jelous of his ex boss, obviously he lacks everything that makes the other so charismatic. He resents that he did not receive the recognition HE thinks he should have received. It is the ex wife ranting about his ex, who left her for another. I suspect he has a man crush on Bill.

This man...Mr. Morris has so many skeletons in his closet, he shouldn't be throwing stones. The Clintons were his employers. He found writing a book about them would bring him wealth. It will be interesting to see if he will switch parties again when the Democrats are back in control. I don't put too much credence on most of the things he says and those I believe is a "so what?" Don't waste your money. Too bad he had to turn traitor on people who trusted him.

Dick Morris clearly outlines why Bill Clinton was such a horrible president and such a characterless person. Clinton put our nation at risk and I just wish more people who think he was a genius would read this book.
Will the Real Bill Clinton Please Stand UpJuly 3, 2007 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Dick Morris, political analyst and advisor under president Bill Clinton, offers a inside look at what the President left out of his very large autobiography that shared nothing on how he made policy decisions. And from what is shared in this book, I can now understand why. Mr. Morris was someone who worked very close with Bill Clinton on a daily basis for years. He reveals both his strength and weaknesses, so the book reads as if it is objective, but I am sure the Clintons do not like it. Mr. Morris leads us through all of the omissions from the President's own entertaining, yet self-serving book.
It explains some of why the Clinton's lied when there was no political or legal reason for doing so. And how vicious they run a campaign, even when they have no personal stake in the race themselves in order to eliminate possible future competition. We also learn of a truly empathetic man who always had a scapegoat handy for when things went wrong. Which makes me wonder how much empathy he really has? But he also shares with us the good the man did while in office, even if it was an idea of an advisor, it takes a President to push an agenda.
I know that Mr. Morris is a political animal himself. But this book is must reading if you read "My Life" in order to get a balanced view of the man who was President. This is also required reading in order get the definition of what is 'is', so that you can understand the inconsistencies of the Presidents book. This book is a very fast read.

Dick Morris critizes Bill Clinton because he didn't know then what we know now. Of course he didn't. None of us knew then what we know now. Sure it would have been nice to take care of Osama bin Laden then. I wish we could have done that. But who knew? I liked Dick Morris before, and I read one of his book. I thought of him as a smart guy. I'm disappointed that he turned against Clinton. I'd like to know the story behind that.
