Summary: H-Rod and Three-dollar Bill
Comment: Barbara Olson wrote this comprehensive guide to fraud, malfeasance, and deception in the Clinton White before she was tragically killed by the 9/11 terrorists. While there is not a lot of new information here, Olson puts the sordid tale in perspective and adds much useful analysis and commentary.

Especially useful is her take on the 24th hour Clinton pardons, which the main-stream media chose to cover lightly, if at all. There is clear evidence here of an influence peddling scandal with these 2001 pardons, with the most flagrant case involving fugitive Marc Rich. After reading this, one must ask how did the Clintons win all those elections, especially the New York Senate race, after Mrs. Clinton was clearly exposed by eight years of negative reports. My only concern now is that it might be possible for one of the Clintons to win another national election. Like Rocky or Freddy Krueger, we may find them back again, if not enough Americans read this book.

The sections on Mrs. Clinton's ethical lapses are outstanding as well. Again, I think that the main-stream press did not adequately cover that Mrs. Clinton violated Senate rules in taking a large advance on a book deal. Technically the rules do not apply to a senator-elect and apparently no rules apply to the sitting First Lady. Remember that Newt Gingrich was nearly run out of town for taking a much smaller book advance.

Summary: Frightening. Truly Frightening.
Comment: If THE FINAL DAYS were made into a movie, no one would believe it. It's too fantastic, too incredible, too cynical by even Hollywood standards; there is no way a president who abused his power, his people, and the U.S. Constitution this badly should ever have even been elected, let alone ravaged the country for eight years. Yet we know it's true; we read story after story about it in the papers. We thought we knew the whole story.

But, as Barbara Olson's final masterpiece details, we didn't.

The surrealistic saga of Bill and Hillary Clinton's desperate power grabs over the last days of the Clinton presidency is truly frightening. How in the world does anyone have as much of a sense of entitlement as the Clintons obviously did and be taken seriously enough to get elected to public office? Olson details in no-nonsense fashion documented with thorough footnotes and extensive quotes the depths of the Clintons' depravity that was only hinted at in press stories. The "stroke of the pen, law of the land" executive orders. The massive Federal land grab. The bridal (sorry, new senator) registry and gift grabbing, trying to sneak by Senate ethics rules. Hillary's $8M just-under-the-wire book deal, another attempt to circumvent ethics rules. Pilfering White House furniture and artwork. Rerouting of money and property in clever accounting techniques that even the likes of Enron wished they had. Dueling Manhattan office spaces, at taxpayer expense.

Oh, yeah, and then there were the pardons. To paraphrase Dennis Miller, if there were any more symbolism to pardons bought with bribes by guys named "Rich" and "Green", Andrew Lloyd Webber would be writing music for it. The Rich/Green pardon scandal would be bad enough for any one president's image, and Olson documents it throughly, giving a detailed explanation of just what kinds of traitorous criminals Rich and Green really were and how egregious this pardon really was. But more importantly, she delves into the rest of the Clinton pardon list, the remainder of which were just as outlandish as the two most prominent ones. If you have any doubt whatsoever that the Clinton pardons were mere commerce, mere sales transactions, bought and paid for by donors willing to give up money, votes (the Hasidic Jewish town that went almost 100% for Hillary after its four favorite sons were pardoned), and any remaining ethics they may have possessed beforehand, you REALLY need to read this book. Citation after citation, scrupulously documented, thoughtfully written, calmly rendered, this one chapter is worth the book's entire purchase price.

Someone should make a movie about Barbara Olson's life. A true American patriot, she had the courage of her convictions, was never afraid to speak her mind even if it was unpopular, and even risked her own life on that fateful September morning by calling her husband and relaying vital information about the hijacking, serving her country until her last breath. THE FINAL DAYS is a fitting tribute to Mrs. Olson's courage, her intelligence, her dedication to her country and her beliefs. Buy it.

Summary: DO NOT criticize unscrupulous liberals...
Comment: Why is it that reading reviews is such an interesting passtime? Because you can spot a Blind Liberal review a mile away. They seem to have only one pattern for reviews of their beloveds- like Bill & Hilary. That pattern is pointing out Republicans who have also abused power as the justification for ALL in the future to not only repeat that, but to improve on it. I would like to know how liberals got the label of being the open-minded crafters of a better society. Look at America's state of affairs since WWII and whose leadership precipitated our great declines. At least Clinton has a loyal, ugly, and equally greedy co-dependent wife to enable him to carry on his lifestyle with no fear of repercussion! Certainly not from his loyally BLIND constituency anyway!
