Quotes edit see section history

• “This book is about a young presidency. Young, but already the most destructive in American history.”

• “Obama’s self-portrait as a uniter was at best an exercise in self-delusion, at worst an example of old-fashioned deceit”

• “For Obama, it’s more than just a matter of political power. There’s also his egotistical sense that he is absolutely right about everything, that everyone else is wrong, and that if given enough time, he can persuade the rest of the rubes of the superiority of his positions”

• As journalist Kyle-Anne Shiver noted, “What we have here in America today is a real-life jump-the-shark drama, starring a super-narcissistic president so desperate to create his own vainglorious legacy that he is willing to destroy his own political party and do enduring damage to his country in pursuit of his selfish ends.”24
