There were two reasons I got this book.1. It was free2. I wanted to see if there was anything new to be gleaned from it.I was hoping to see a real interview with the president, possibly with some hard questions. What I found was a fifteen page self serving love fest.  What was presented, expectedly, was another forum for the president to continue campaigning for his personal agenda. This might not be bad if that wasn't all he did.  The only action we have seen is his ill conceived health care plan, which was rammed through in the middle of the night by Nancy Pulozzi and Harry Reed.  Neither of whom had even read it.Unfortunately, this seems to be all that Mr. Obama has been able to accomplish.  In this interview he kept telling us what needed to be done with the economy but never said how it should be done.  The entire country is well aware of the job market and fiscal problems faced by governments at all levels.What is truly needed is a set of solutions and a plan to implement them.  So far there has only been cheerleading and band standing by the white house.Talking and campaigning do not solve problems.  Actions do.  This president is incapable of making a decision, hence, the dozens of committees and study groups he has formed.As I was hoping for positive signs of leadership in this interview, I was seriously disappointed.The interview was well written and David Blum is an accomplished author, unfortunately I don't see him as a hard hitting, serious journalist or political commentator.
