THE OBAMA CONFEDERACY: A Tangled Web of Deceit, Divisiveness and Dishonesty At last, from a pragmatic, down-to-earth, freelance writer, an objective assessment of the impact Barack Obama's years in the White House have had on the World, America and Americans. Seven years in the making, selected articles from David B. Wilson's email network, "LET'S FACE IT: Everyday Political Discussions," have been assembled in this single collection. In an unconventional, man-on-the-street style of writing, Wilson brilliantly blends truth, analogy, satire, sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek literary tools to expose how dirty politics and cronyism have burgeoned in Washington under the current administration. Pulling from his Texas roots, he colorfully describes this era as "a load of crap." Then, with simplicity in his analyses and insightful scenario thinking Wilson brings some measure of reality to the modern political process that everyday Americans just do not have the time to develop on their own. Now, here it is, an easy-to-read book that those who are interested in, but not obsessed with, politics can use to painlessly and, indeed, enjoyably "catch up." The book contains over five hundred articles and opinion editorials regarding specific events that have taken place since President Obama took office. It is divided into yearly segments that are complimented by thematic summaries at the beginning and end of each year. Using content from the above-mentioned missives as subject matter and drawing from his forty years of following American politics, Wilson freely expresses his opinion about the havoc the Obama presidency has wreaked on the Country. The basic information, however, is presented in a form that the readers can quickly absorb and come to their own conclusions. Wilson passionately professes to being a staunch conservative but, this writing was earnestly prepared with the intent to always be fair and authentic in his analyses. His bottom line, however, is this: "THE OBAMA CONFEDERACY" makes the case that Barack Obama's term as President is arguably the most agenda-driven, corrupt period in the history of American politics. Postscript: Just for the record, it is the author's opinion that a Hillary Clinton presidency would be a continuation of "THE OBAMA CONFEDERACY" in which the "crap" would simply be piled higher and deeper.
