Book Review and Giveaway: No He Can't

Image take from Google Images

This book couldn’t be coming out at a better time! Osama Bin Laden has been killed, and the world is rejoicing. Our president, Barack Obama is suddenly a hero. His followers cannot be more over-joyed that Mr. Obama was the commander-in-chief when Bin Laden’s death occurred, because all eyes have been taken off the pressing issues at home. We are suddenly not focused on the rising gas prices. Unemployment rates don’t seem to faze us. Osama Bin Laden is dead, and Mr. Barack Obama made sure of that.

“No He Can’t: How Barack Obama is Dismantling Hope and Change” by Kevin McCullogh (2011) is the perfect book to remind the American public of all they have FORGOTTEN about this president that is now being held in such high regard. I thought the book was perfect to point out in a factual manner so many of the programs and changes Mr. Obama has put into place.

Do you remember “Cash for Clunkers?” I couldn’t believe how much money this cost the tax payers. Not many of us got anything out of that program, but we sure are paying dearly for it. “No He Can’t” is filled with such topics, pointing out how the change Barack Obama promised isn’t exactly coming.

This is an important book to read whether you like Barack Obama for president or not. It gives the reader a lot to think about. I have never been one to be too involved in politics, so I was somewhat apprehensive about reviewing this book. It is written, though, on a level that everyone can enjoy and learn from.

Hi I'm a new follower stopping by from FTLOB. I want to read this book because I believe that Osama Bin Laden's death is not a victory for Obama, but for the American soldiers who killed him. The same ones who almost lost pay a few weeks ago. Also, as a worker in the healthcare industry. I am beginning to see the effects of Obama care. email interpretedbyme@blogspot.com

I want to read this book because Obama did nothing in the death of O.B.Laden. He just happened to be there in that position. Our soldiers were the ones who should get credit plus I hope it gave many who lost loved ones some sort of closure. susan Leech garysue@dejazzd.com
