In this funny, fast-paced, razor-sharp, well-reasoned, and supremely savvy critique of the state of our union under the disastrous reign of Barack Obama, bestselling author, Fox News contributor, syndicated columnist, and popular radio host Monica Crowley asks (and answers) the pressing question: What the @$%& has happened to America? “The Happy Warrior’s Guide to the Great American Comeback,” What the (Bleep) Just Happened? doesn’t simply bemoan the trashing of the American economy and the intentional firebombing of America’s international prestige, it offers inspiration and a positive message to conservatives and concerned Americans everywhere that the way to fight back and win is with principle, conviction…and a wicked sense of humor.

“This is the book Barack Obama and his pals don’t want you to read. Crowley has the guts to tell the truth about the damage they’ve inflicted. No sugar-coating. No political correctness. Just the facts--and they’re damning. This book is pure dynamite.” (Sean Hannity )
“Monica Crowley wants to wage war against forces that would wipe out traditional America. But what’s different in her book - is the positive attitude she brings. You’ll be happy to read her words. No (bleep)!” (Bill O'Reilly )
“Can this nation be saved? Monica Crowley answers with a resounding ‘yes!’ in this brilliant, hilarious page-turner that may well—in fact, should—influence the very future of America.” (Larry Kudlow )

From the Back Cover
What the @$%&! just happened to America? That's the question that Monica Crowley, bestselling author, Fox News political analyst, columnist, and popular nationally syndicated radio host, asks—and answers—in this fast-paced, funny, and sharply argued tour of the country's disastrous years under Barack Obama, and an exuberant call for the great American comeback.
What the @$%&! just happened? What just happened to America? What happened to our strength and greatness? What happened to our constitutionally limited government? What happened to our powerful free-market system? What happened to our traditional rocket path of growth? What happened to American jobs? What happened to our prosperity? What happened to the greatest health care system in the world? What happened to our superpower status? What happened to our ability to be respected and feared? What's up with unprecedented spending and record-breaking deficits? Sixteen trillion dollars in debt? What the @$%&! just happened?
In What the (Bleep) Just Happened? Monica Crowley offers a rollicking, high-octane, and hilarious view of the damage caused by Barack Obama's extremist agenda. But she also sets the stage for the inevitable conservative comeback, calling for a return to the joyful spirit of the Reaganesque "Happy Warrior.” She will have you on your feet—cheering for America and what has always made it great—as she rallies us to get our exceptionalist groove back.

It's Time for the Sleeping Giant to Awaken To Save US From the Dark Side
June 19, 2012
Format:Hardcover
Monica Crowley has gravitas. She's not just a pretty face but also a shrewd observer who after she studies a problem and understands it, is articulate enough to explain her discoveries to the rest of us.
In the five major parts and dozens of chapters, she beautifully deconstructs the plot to destroy America from within and explains how the great silent majority of "Happy Warriors" must wake up to the internal threat that is quickly and systematically destroying America, it's traditions and the world's freedom.
Those five major sections are: "American Interrupted, The Skinny Socialist is a Big Fat Liar, Size Matters, Dr. Strangeleader or: How I Learned to Stop Caring and Love American Decline, and America, Unleashed."
"Obama's redistributionist scheme, however, is much bigger than just the transfer of capital with his home country. For Obama, self-styled `president of the world,' the redistribution is global and not strictly limited to wealth. Obama and his single-minded band of leftist are in the process of redistributing everything American: our power, our wealth, our resources, our military and diplomatic advantage, our economic competitiveness, our leadership, our borders, and yes, our unique exceptionalism."
Crowley points out that most people believe "the Founding Fathers gave us three branches of government. Not true. They gave us four: the executive, the legislative, the judiciary...and the American people. As Thomas Jefferson once said `should things go wrong at any time, the people will set them to rights by peaceable exercise of their elective rights.'"
The author uses the term Happy Warriors to help define that American Spirit embodied within President Ronald Reagan. "The time is now ripe for a new brand of Happy Warrior. The new model will turn on its head the concept the Democrats used for decades. The new Happy Warrior will retain the pro-Americanism but discard the impulse toward social and economic `justice.' Instead, the new Happy Warrior will cheerfully fight for constitutionally based first principles and will steer us away from the kook-driven decline that will produce what former ambassador John Bolton has called `a post-American world.'"
Monica Crowley has a sharp tongue and a way with words. She is hip and loves to use humor and satire to make her points. She's fun to read and that's saying something in a political thesis like this one.
"The vast majority of Americans are now sitting bolt upright. It took a while for the country to become hip to what Team Obama was up to, because nobody wanted to believe that any president, administration, or political part was capable of such deliberate destruction."
"Obama and his allies are smart enough not to openly declare their agenda...the don't broadcast an intent to downgrade America at home and abroad by weakening her economically, militarily, and philosophically. In fact they would vociferously deny this if asked. But if you take a hard look at their actions, the choices they've made, the people Obama surrounds himself with, you can't help but conclude, as I have done, that their true objectives are not what they claim. Their words may be moderate, but everything I've seen and heard points to their truly radical intentions. Moreover, this is a conclusion that millions of other Americans have also drawn. They have awakened to the threat. And they are increasingly alarmed and indignant."
Just as in World War II when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the admiral in charge worried that they may have only awakened a sleeping giant. He was correct and the same thing is happening now. Obama "has apprenticed in the dark arts. And not the cool kind of dark arts they teach at Hogwarts. I mean the dark arts of Saul Alinsky community organizing, which relentlessly stoked the class warfare in order to create a pre-revolutionary climate...He was charismatic and charming, a natural salesman who delivered a spoonful of sugar to make the redistributionist medicine go down."
This book is a surprising page-turner. As I was reading it, I found myself marking important points, or points well stated so anyone could understand them until the pages looked like scratch pads of codes. This book will also make most Americans wake up and look around. Even the younger voters who may have thought they were voting on "American Idol" when they pulled the lever for "Hope and Change" need to realize that in just four years the liberals in the Congress and White House have ruined their immediate and long-term futures. Gone are the days of a booming economy that provided jobs for everyone who wanted to work. That has been done on purpose by a lawless con man in the Oval Office.
This book will make most Americans open their eyes and go to the open window and shot out, "I'm mad, and I'm not going to take it anymore." Then the sleeping giant will do what is necessary to save the most unique nation in the history of the world.

I purchased the book this morning and in two hours I have already read 250 pages. The author's writing style makes her book a quick page turner. Miss Crowley's book should be a must read for anyone who wants to understnd why Mr. Obama is one of the worst presidents in the last century.

By Liberty Now!
Format:Hardcover
Well researched and very inspiring! I'm more of a pessimist when it comes to this nations future, but with "happy warriors" like Monica Crowley to motivate and reassure us, I think we just may have a fighting chance. Monica understands the mind and motivations of President Obama and reveals the sobering reality of his redistributive plans for us. But, we can look at recent success' in Wisconsin, Massachussetts, 2010 elections and smaller wins for taxpayers in cities such as San Jose and San Diego. Citizens of all stripes are saying "What the bleep just happened" and "Not on my watch!! Thanks Monica for fighting the good fight with a beautiful smile!!
