"Monumental, Catastrophic Failure of Leadership"

I was just asking recently, "Where are Woodard and Bernstein when you need them?" And then Bob Woodard showed up with his new book Rage. Not only that but hours and hours of tape with the President. "Bigger than the Nixon tapes," Carl Bernstein says. The title of my article here is a quote from the book. Has anyone read it yet?

No, but I heard an interview of Woodward promoting his book yesterday. Seen from here the failure of power is obvious. And the book does not seem to speak about foreign policy which is a complete disaster. People must have blinkers to not realize it.

I haven't read the book yet, but I can't imagine he doesn't deal with his catastrophic foreign relations. There are so many, many really awful things going on, though, important things sometimes get lost.

I cannot understand the actions of the GOP in their support of the president.

As a matter of fact, I just opened a parcel sent to me by my youngest son and found the exact book that you are talking about. Will start reading the book "Rage" tonight in bed,

I hope it doesn't give you nightmares. Let us know what you think. I've seen him interviewed a couple of times since its release. Scary stuff.

@pjmurphy Oh yes just to add now I know him. I heard him from time to time on CNN I think it was. First time I have heard him talk about the "Spanish Flu" again much the same has been going on in this country too a lot of denial from the top people.

Can't say I've heard of the book, but then again, I haven't really seen the news since I cut the cord three years ago. With what's happening in this world right now, not sure I'd really want to read something like that.

@pjmurphy I am not registered to vote. But, you're right. No matter what happens, it's always important to stay informed. Weather you vote or not, you have a right to know what's happening around you. If you choose not to, then it's your fault. As, you're the one responsible to stay informed. So,

@pjmurphy , It is extremely important to keep up with what is going on,

I think it's important to keep up with what is happening in our country, even when we don't like what we hear. Maybe especially when we don't like what we hear. It's important to stay informed and to always, always vote.

Not I, but I want to. I have seen Woodard on a couple of TV interviews and have found what he has said to be very interesting, and generally bad for the president. I hope there is much more to come.
