Could Joe America ever get true insight of American politics during the Clinton impeachment watching TV news and newspapers? I say absolutely not. This book is a insider look at what really happened in Washington DC. I found this book to be well written. It provided me insight that I have never found elsewhere.

great truths about a loser
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2008
This is a great eye opening book in to how the impeachment of Clinton should have removed him for office because of his criminal activities in the areas of sellling out our national security to China, repeatedly violating American citizens civil liberties and repeated stonewalling of investagators of his criminal activities (Monica Lewensky was only a minor thing in the grand scheme of things). He explains how the impeachment process was hampered by both Dems and Republicans who were more interested in not rocking the boat so they can keep getting easyly reelected (Don't stop the gravy train). He is not a partisan hatchet man but a man of principle that recently said in reply to a question on the campaign trail as the 2008 Libertarian Party candidate for President that if he had to choose nither George W Bush or Bill Clinton to be president he would have to take Clinton. This from a man who was the lead man on the impeachment of Clinton and who served Reagan and was a 8 year Republican Congressmen. Also check out this book on our lost liberties A Nation Of Sheep By Judge Andrew P. Napolitano!

Bob Barr is obsessed with the hatred of the Clinton's. We can disagree on issues but not on personalty. President Bill Clinton despite everything will be recorded in history as the only American President that ever created over 22 million new jobs. He presided over the best US Economy in history. A man of peace with very high intelligent quotient perhaps in the history of US presidency with most powerful and persuasive speech.

Bill Clinton made America a country everybody all over the world wanted to associate with during his presidency. The first US President to receive a standing ovation at United Nations general assembly. Over 2 million people waited in line to greet Bill Clinton in Ghana during his visit to Africa.

Bill Clinton is still loved all over the world. He is a man who love life and women. He appointed women as judges to US courts a friend of the African Americans and the poor whose government almost wiped away welfare and unemployment from America. Despite his shortcomings as a human being Bill Clinton was the best President US ever had after JFK. Bill Clinton said "let us not be offended about our critics because they bring out the best in us". Even to his enemies he was generous in words, in all his books, he never destroy even his critics he always has something good to say about everybody.

Bob and his fellow right wing writers most of them say they are Christians may want to destroy Bill Clinton legacy over his honesty that related only to his personal life in which most of them "Republicans" were equally guilty if not worse off. Clinton in his work as President was honest with the poor, honest with social security, honest with world like David in the Bible who God so loved that he said "I could have destroyed Israel but for my love for David" Clinton dishonesty never led to the death of 3000 US soldiers in any war.

Bob Barr has written an excellent book. Using clean, spare language he gets his points across and builds a convincing case. He uses specific images and anecdotes that are sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing and always work to their best effect and stay with you. In a highly readable fashion, Bob Barr also gives you a good understanding of how things work in Washington, D.C. If you want a better understanding of how government works, if you care about National Security, if you care about the future of America, I strongly recommend this book. I was walking in lower Manhattan this morning and I stopped by to look at historic Fraunces Tavern and to remember where a different kind of terrorist group set off an explosion and injured and killed innocent people almost 30 years ago. I found it chilling to read in Mr. Barr's fine book that the Clintons didn't seem to have a problem offering clemency to members of this terrorist group during Mr. Clinton's final days in office.

Meaning of Is...

House Resolution, 5 Nov 1997 (Familiar Date, Barr's Birthday)

Scholarly, bare knuckled honesty, dead serious with a flair for well timed, subtle, and outright humor. On the road to Impeachment, unlike a Mike Moore documentary!

Superb intellectual honesty and analysis. Evenhanded criticism of Democrat and Republican leadership alike. Down home, home-spin candor. Insider renegade who takes the moral and principled high ground to the next level. Genuine, open, and frank delivery of a defining moment in our Nation's history. A true patriot, sharing with us the inside and behind the scenes of this epic American saga and political tragedy--- the squandering of a presidency; deliberate national security breech; and intentional unraveling of our God given constitutional rights as American citizens.

I KNEW before reading this book that Mr. Clinton was a President we would NOT call great, and never call honest... I was so floored that an IMPEACHED president could remain in office as he did, thoroughly thumbing his NOSE at ALL of us Americans who he was TRUSTED to serve. Bob Barr, sure lays it on the line , tells the truth, kindly, but truthfully. Everyone should really read this book, even if you have your own ideas about Clinton, this is an EYE opener for those who think he was a "great" president.
