How did a charismatic young president elected in an atmosphere
of optimism and expectation lead the United States to the brink of
revolution? From a chance encounter in the early 1980s to the
Democratic primaries of 2007-08, syndicated columnist and political
cartoonist Ted Rall was one of the first to size up Barack Obama as
we know him now: conservative, risk-averse and tonedeaf. In "The
Book of Obama" Rall revisits the rapid rise and dizzying fall of
Obama--and the emergence of the Tea Party and Occupy movements--and
draws a startling conclusion: We the People weren't lied to. We
lied to ourselves, both about Obama and the two-party system. We
voted when we ought to have revolted.
