"He's bloviating again. This time about the current (2010) goings on in Washington and the U.S. of A. Included is O'Reilly's interview with then Senator Obama. A great interview that they both seem to enjoy. Mr. O'Reilly tries his best to nail down the presidents stand on several issues including the war on terror and taxes. I believe Bill delivers with some solid evidence to support his theories about our president. A good, quick read. Recommend for fans of politics and of course the Factor. On to the next."

" This book takes a look at some historical figures and makes an assessment of their legacy. The book analyzes the decisions made by former presidents, generals, other world leaders, and some pop culture icons. O'Reilly does not give a final assessment of Obama's legacy because it is obviously too early but does give a fair analysis to the decisions made by this president thus far. "
— Rebecca, 2/16/2014" Although I have enjoyed all of Bill's books, I found this one a bit dry. As always, Bill does meticulous editing to make sure what he says is true. However, I found several of his other books much more entertaining. Still worth reading, and a fast read, under 250 pages. "
— Anne, 2/14/2014" Pretty good read...I don't agree with everything in it but impressed with my first O'Reilly book "
— Daniel, 2/13/2014" Good points from time to time. O'Reilly hardly becomes the "loyal opposition"status he wants. Still seems to just knee-jerk many of his opinions. "
— Bill, 2/10/2014" [Recieved free signed copy from The O'reilly Factor] "
— Odyssey, 2/8/2014" Loved the humor in it also. "
— Barb, 2/4/2014" Bill O'Reilly had some very good points in this book. Yes, there was Obama bashin but there were also ideas that he brings to the table. Reading the interview between O'Reilly and Obama was a bit difficult; it was much better in person. I did not know that O'Reilly was an independent, not a republican. "
— Maria, 2/2/2014" Whatever you may think about Bill O'Reilly, this book is funny. =) "
— Brooke, 2/1/2014" ERROR ... didn't read this one "
— Carolyn, 1/7/2014" Surprisingly good, could have been longer though. =/ "
— Dakota, 12/25/2013" This book clarified the difference between a pinhead and a patriot. I was a job well done. "
— R, 12/12/2013" Really enjoyed every part of the book, but it felt like two books mashed together. It's nice to hear someone actually think about current issues rather than simply spitting out party lines. Not as good as Bold Fresh or Culture Warrior, but very enjoyable, and very "Bill". "
— Craig, 11/21/2013" Most politicians are Pinheads. "
— Norbert, 10/19/2013" This book was interesting and funny. "
— Vicki, 10/4/2013" Easy read. I appreciate his respect for the president. I also respect his ability to call the president out on important issues. May the next two years bring prosperity for our country. I also enjoyed the history. "
— Kari, 9/12/2013" Expect the same bloviating that you see in all Bill O'Reilly books. There was some new information in the book, but most of the book was simply his opinion, on some things that I am not sure why the matter at this time. Clearly, this is not his best book. "
— Naomi, 6/13/2013" Bill O'Reilly defines what a "Pinhead" and a "Patriot" is, then uses examples from presidents, actors & actresses, and various other famous people as examples. I like O'Reilly's honest, no nonsense approach, along with humor to get his points accross. "
— Kristine, 3/20/2013" O'Reilly has such great insight; his books are all great, including this one! "
— Darleen, 2/24/2013" Another good book by Bill O'Reilly. Like the other books I have read by Bill I used the audio format and found it an accceptable way to encounter books. Recommend this for a snapshot (Bill's of course)aboutfamous people shaping the Unite States. "
— Mike, 2/21/2013" Very well done. Bill criticizes Obama in very respectful way, he also President credit when he deserves it... "
— Dan, 12/18/2012" This was OK. I think anyone who likes O'Reilly is going to like this, and anyone who doesn't, isn't. I did really enjoy his chapter on the presidents. Makes me want to read more history books. "
— Sarah, 10/20/2012" I can stand O'Reilly - to a point. This book seemed to be slapped together over a weekend. Mostly his TV-style bloviating, but in print. "
— Joe, 9/14/2012" I thought O'Reilly's book was fine. It wasn't thrilling or earth-shattering. It was nice to have a recap of some current issues. I respect his opinion on them and how highly he thinks of himself and his opinions. Honestly though, I was kind of tired of hearing his voice by the end. :/ "
— Natalie, 8/30/2012" My first Bill O'Reilly book and I am enjoying it a lot. "
— Ladonna, 12/23/2011" A quick read with some interesting facts. I find it interesting how our current President, while being interviewed (in the last chapter) stumbles over his words, a lot. "
— Roxy, 11/13/2011" He Tells it like it is... "
— Al, 10/22/2011" Reads like a transcript of his TV show. "
— David, 6/19/2011" I've read most of his books and like them much better than the show. It's a lot easier to follow without the shouting back and forth. This one remains the same, but not nearly to the level as the others. It's been a few years since I read the others; is this one not as good or have I changed? "
— Ryan, 5/30/2011" This book clarified the difference between a pinhead and a patriot. I was a job well done. "
— R, 5/3/2011" Great book... I can't stand Obama! "
— Frank, 4/13/2011" If you watch the Factor regularly, there isn't much new here. The ending, with the transcribed 2008 interview with Senator Obama is interesting since he became president and has made some policy decisions. "
— Brandon, 4/11/2011" Was surprised who was a pinhead and who was a patriot and why. "
— Margery, 4/9/2011" A good book by a great and fair author. "
— Jean, 4/7/2011" Good book just to point out the obvious... Obama is screwing the United States "
— Blythe, 4/3/2011" If you follow The No Spin Zone, there are no surprises here. <br/>If you don't, you may be surprised at his take on people and events. I particularly liked his opinions on some past presidents. "
— Lynn, 2/20/2011" Solid" Billy," as Dennis would like to say. If your a faithful fan like me and have read his other books, this will be an enjoyable Sunday afternoon read. If not, well, you're obviously a pinhead. "
— Carolyn, 1/29/2011" If you're a fan of Bill O'Reilly, the book doesn't hold any surprises. I am a fan... but was really hoping for some stories I wouldn't find discussed on the show. "
— Douglas, 1/24/2011" If you have paid any attention to the events since the 2008 election, you'll will learn nothing from this book. The random list of personalities listed as pinheads or patriots is not much more interesting. Events in the book are already ancient history. "
