Mendacity of Hope

“The Mendacity of Hope should help wake up all those Obama-voters who''ve been napping while the wars escalate, the recession deepens, and the environment goes straight to hell.” —Barbara Ehrenreich

From the former editor-in-chief of Harper''s Magazine comes a bold manifesto exposing President Obama''s failure to enact progressive reform at home and abroad. National Magazine Award finalist Roger Hodge makes a hard-hitting case against Obama''s failure to deliver on the promises of his campaign. The first book-length critique of the Obama''s presidency from a prominent member of the left, The Mendacity of Hope will strike a chord with anyone stirred by the words of Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and Frank Rich. It''s the book that every frustrated progressive in America has been waiting to read.
