Pinheads and Patriots : Where You Stand in the Age of Obama

Product Description Sending the National Guard to the Arizona border . . . Cutting back-room deals to pass health-care reform . . . Conducting troop surges in Iraq and Afghanistan . . . Considering trying known terrorists in civilian court . . . Which of these moves have been pinheaded and which have been patriotic? While the changes that took place in America during President Obama�s first eighteen months in office are dizzying to even think about, their real-life impact on the average American is a helluva lot stronger than that. Blood pressures have soared and tempers have reached the boiling point over the shifts in health care, immigration, national security, energy, and the environment�and then there�s the economy. The president and his administration have gotten folks riled. But some greedy Wall Streeters, a partisan Congress, and the media have also widened the national divide. Through it all, Bill O�Reilly can be counted on to cut through the rhetoric and tell you what�s good and what�s bad for you. O�Reilly sorts it all out with his trademark mix of humor and bluster in his About the Author For more than thirteen years, three-time Emmy Award winner Bill O�REilly has presided over The O�Reilly Factor on the FOX News Channel, the highest-rated news program on cable. Prior to that, he served as a national correspondent for ABC News and as an anchor of the nationally syndicated news magazine program Inside Edition . He is the author of numerous megabestsellers, including A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity , a deeply personal memoir that has sold more than one million copies.

When Bill O'Reilly interviewed then-Senator Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential elections, the two had a lively debate about the nation's future.

Since that time, America has changed rapidly-some would even say seismically. And many believe these shifts are doing more than just rocking the political and social climate; they're rocking the American core.

What are these changes? Who, in addition to President Obama, have been the biggest forces behind them? What exactly do they mean for you, the everyday American citizen? How are they affecting your money, health, safety, freedom, and standing in this nation? Which are Pinheaded moves and which are truly Patriotic? In his latest spirited book, O'Reilly prompts further debate with the President and the American people on the current state of the union.

After five consecutive, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is megabestsellers, you can count on Bill to offer blunt and constructive political commentary. And as he did in his popular memoir, he offers some introspection too, looking back at his own actions and those of past Pinheads and Patriots who have inspired a code of conduct for such taxing times.

As always, O'Reilly is fair, balanced, and uncompromisingly tough when guarding the American way. Only Pinheads would fail to fight for what they love most about this country or to embrace some measure of change to make it better. The rest of us Patriots will read this book to discover the difference between the two.

Television host, razor sharp political pundit, and #1 bestselling author Bill O’Reilly focuses in on where we all stand in the Age of Obama in Pinheads and Patriots. In this brave, hard-hitting, provocative volume, the author of Culture Warrior and A Bold, Fresh Piece of Humanity guides Americans through the extensive transformations sweeping their country and explains exactly what these profound changes mean for every one of us. O'Reilly offers a detailed examination of how the decisions President Obama is making, the programs he is championing, and the support and opposition he is getting from others will ultimately impact everyday Americans. He backs up his analyses with behind-the-scenes information culled from campaign interviews with Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain, as well as details of his confrontations with Congressman Barney Frank and others.
