Publisher Description

Americans find themselves in genuine confusion and dismay concerning the actions of President Obama's administration. What happened to reform? What happened to the heroic candidate who promised to change Washington? On one issue after another the Obama Administration has turned out to be a kinder, gentler version of the Bush Administration. None of Obama's most important campaign promises have come to pass. The Mendacity of Hope explains why the Obama Administration was destined to fail from the beginning: behind the uplifting rhetoric of the Obama campaign there was lurking a business-as-usual corporate machine. A brilliantly crafted call to arms, The Mendacity of Hope offers an essential analysis of the American political system and the powerful players who control our government.
