9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America

And Four Who Tried to Save Her

De: Brion McClanahan

Narrado por: Mike Chamberlain

Of the 44 presidents who have led the United States, nine made mistakes that permanently scarred the nation. Which nine? Brion McClanahan, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers and The Founding Fathers' Guide to the Constitution, will surprise listeners with his list, which he supports with exhaustive and entertaining evidence.

9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America is a new look back at American history that unabashedly places blame for our nation's current problems on the backs of nine very flawed men.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This book is both a fascinating read by a master historian and a necessary guide for any voter." (Kevin R. C. Gutzman, author of James Madison and the Making of America)

Eye Opening Listen on Constitutional Government

Many will debate the basis of the author's writing, but in doing so, they will be questioning the very basis of the Constitution of the United States . . . America has sadly become a country of whiners and self-serving belly-achers, the likes of which are serving in the highest offices in our government . . . the vision that our founding fathers had for this great republic (yes, REPUBLIC) has been lost amongst an increasingly heavy handed executive office, grabbing control, where there was no legal authority to do so . . . robbing the Congress and Senate, and individual states of their own right to legislate as originally planned and penned by our constitution . . . an ever increasing slippery slope has led is to where we are now . . . although I am not as optimistic as the author that the problem can ever be fixed (because America is now a nation of wimps), I do agree with his analysis of the issues . . . this is the kind of history that our children need to be taught in school . . .

The sad part is that everything he said was true.

Our government is out of control, and this does an excellent job explaining how we have inherited this mess. I highly recommend.

Clear cut, straightforward, unbiased

This presented a well founded case about how the Office of the Presidency has deteriorated over the last 150 years and really emphasizes what the Executive Branch ought to be and what it has become. It isn’t personal, it’s government.

Great Historical Perspective

Very informative book. Although I do not agree with all the author's viewpoints, he is correct in 95% of what he is saying.

good and flawed

While well written and argued, it is just another example of originalist fantasy. the ideas espoused here would have worked in 1800 today it is truly illusional
