Is anyone else reading Jonathan Alter's new book "The Promise"
I just started it and I had forgotten how awful McCain was. I forgot how he didn't even read Paulson's 3 page plan. In the book, it's shocking how completely inept Bush and McCain are. Apparently they were so bad that they scared Obama!

1. They're very scarey people..
I'm thinking President Obama felt he had to win..there were no options.

4. I read about 1/3 of one of the Bush books
I can't remember right now if it was Woodward's or Clarke's. Anyways, I had to sit the book down every 3 pages for a rant break. The stupid was just that horrifying. I finally gave up on it because I was afraid I was going to have a stroke.

Poor Obama. I can't even imagine what it feels like to be in his shoes.
