The Barack Obama revolution was over before it started, guttered by the politician's overweening desire to prove himself to the grandees of the establishment. From there on, other promises proved ever easier to break. Here's the book that dares to not let Obama off the hook. It's all here: the compromises, the backstabbing, the same old imperial ambitions. Covering all major 'Obummer' categories since he took office, this fast-paced collection will delight the critical and offer food for thought for those contemplating the 2012 electoral circus - and beyond.
