Additional 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 Information

Here are the facts:

The United States has released 425 terrorists from Guantánamo, at least 50 of whom have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both say they're fiscally responsible. But each has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten years—and dressed them up as tax cuts!

Mainstream Media has been given marching orders from the Society of Professional Journalists: never refer to "Islamic terrorists" or "Muslim terrorists." And they are obeying! Whenever our brave agents disrupt a terror plot, The media dismisses the culprits as a gang of idiots—lulling us into a false sense of security.

If the liberals win the 2008 election, they will cripple talk radio—forcing stations to give equal time to left-wing programs, and insisting that liberals play a key role in station management.

Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudan—for a total of nearly $200 billion.

The Do-Nothing Congress is still doing nothing—and the worst offenders are the presidential candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain, who never show up for their day jobs as senators . . . except to pick up their $165,000 paycheck!

Is it any wonder that Americans feel fleeced at every turn?

As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress appear to be AWOL.

Who's calling the shots instead?

Big business, big government, big labor, and big lobbyists. And their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying credit card interest rates higher than 25 percent, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries.

In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleeced—by our own government; by foreign countries like Dubai that are gobbling up American interests and spending millions to influence government decisions and American public opinion; by Washington lobbying firms that are pushing the agendas of corrupt foreign dictators on Capitol Hill; and by hedge-fund billionaires collecting huge tax breaks courtesy of the IRS.

With their characteristic blend of sharp analysis and insider insight, Morris and McGann call offenders of all kinds on the carpet—and offer practical agendas we all can follow to help turn the tide.

The use of GREY areas to enhance items of interest is distracting and makes them hard to read because of the loss of contrast. Although generally informative, this book is heavy reading, maybe because it is somewhat incoherent. My beef is not content, but rather presentation.

It is not there alone and I am not picking on this one, but it is just another piece of sensationalism designed to push a point with made up "facts" and make money for the author. I want, as the expression says, just the facts. I didn't get anything like that. Even in NY, you have the liberal leaning NY Times and the very Conservative Wall Street Journal. Books, have become one of the biggest fronts for this since no "equal time" has to be offered and they are very difficult to respond to. You can give all of the misinformation you want and the book still ends up being piled high in Costco with many people buying it and believing it. Look, it has been proven time and again that there is no such thing as "The Liberal Media" when actual facts and stories are counted up. Not all, but most quality news is pretty evenly split or unbiased.

That is very hard to get. Unfortunately this book is part of that group. OK, so I didn't expect perfection and did expect a one sided effort, but I did at least hope for mostly honest facts and a real straight forward effort. The largest newspaper in my state is anything but liberal and we are usually considered a Democrat state. Everyone has a side they want you to join.

I am interested in this side of the political and everyday thoughts as to where we are going as a country. Thru these books we get a good view.

So, this book, as all his books, is written to be a branding tool for the Morris business. Or even, actually, a whole chapter. dominance (). Unfortunately, what works for a 350 word column doesn't really do it for a whole book.

The issue for a reader is coming to grips with the what qualifies as a book and what is just the advertising for the author's brand. Today's media pundit is simply running a business with all the demands on time and intellect and professional services firm has to deal with. It's isn't really Morris' fault. And Mr Morris is a paid commentator and columnist. The media they create--books and columns and radio and television appearances have more to do with keeping their business healthy than with any ideology. It's put together with a clear brief to be provocative and punchy. So, what the reader gets here is an extremely superficial view of the effects of the recent rise to power ().

It's easy to see how these books and columns get written--at the Admirals Club on layovers, in hotel rooms late at night or dictated back to someone at the office during some down time. We know that Morris and McGann run a consulting business. As such, it is more ad copy-like than real books. of the Democratic party.

They give us a cold look at the liberal media downplaying terrorism, of liberals' secret plan to muzzle talk radio (gets scary here), the expensive do-nothing lackadaisical Congress, U.S. Nonetheless, it had to be said, one way or the other. An informative read, it is timely and well penned by the authors (husband and wife) of seven bestselling books including "Catastrophe". Harper, NY, 2009. Unfortunately, the authors attempted to pen too much under a single title that the time sequence and subject matter appear to float uneasily and with loose ends.

Notes 30 pgs., 8" x 5 1/4".A bold, albeit somewhat formless compilation of huge, expensive scams at the expense of taxpayers perpetrated by the White House, President Obama and his cronies as they raise our taxes, redistribute our income and expand government health care, promise immigration reform, and erode protection given by the Patriot Act. companies funding Iran, well-paid turn-coat lobbyists (former Congressmen), and sections on credit card plastic fleecing, why education is failing, origin of the housing scandal, scams in re-building second homes in flood areas, the sub prime loan crisis, poisoning via tainted children's toys, and much more.The bottom-line for these politically savvy scam artists is greed, tax evasion and power grabbing, most often via the unwritten pay-to-play rules usually aided by inattention and ineptness of oversight committees, and their rank and affiliations in/to government. Dick Morris is capable of much better writing than this one, "Fleeced". "Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media.Liberals.Lobbyists.
