The Bush-Haters Handbook: A Guide to the Most Appalling Presidency of the Past 100 Years

There's no lack of tomes for Bush-haters these days, but for those who want their arguments boiled down into easy-to-digest chunks, this is the book to get. It covers what Huberman calls Bush's""domestic war"" on America's economic, environmental and social interests. Presenting its subjects in alphabetical order--from""Abortion, Birth Control and Reproductive Health"" to""Welfare 'Reform,'"" the book takes a less venomous tone than its title might suggest. Instead of ranting, Huberman concentrates on giving solid facts about Bush's policies and their real impact in American lives. Under the topic of""Education,"" for instance, an issue Bush had said would be a priority, Huberman contends that the""No Child Left Behind"" program has financially crippled rather than helped public schools. Readers who want specific information to back up their opposition to what Huberman calls Bush's""anti-worker, anti-consumer, anti-public"" policies will find plenty of ammunition here.
