The Best Worst President: What the Right Gets Wrong about Barack Obama by Mark Hannah
4.0
A few reviews complain about his "bias" that he's clearly just trying to "vindicate" Obama, but it's not like he's trying to hide that, he admits it in the introduction. In fact he admits it in the title. Obama's opponents claim he's the "Worst President" and Hannah believes he was the best. So yes, he's biased. Get over it.
I do not consider myself liberal at all, but I do consider myself open minded, and I was largely impressed with the book. I think most accusations about Obama are exaggerated or people looking for problems more than pointing out reality. I think Hannah glossed over a few things (drone warfare), but for the most part did a good job of pointing out what he accomplished despite massive opposition.
I would want to see a rebuttal piece before I decide if I'm actually an Obama fan or not, but I think anyone who reads this with an open mind would probably decide Obama was a better President than given credit for.
