But, over the past decade, House leaders fearful of losing power have torn the House from its roots.

This book reminded me of everything I love about this country, and everything I'm proud of. We have lost a great deal of integrity, moral ground and global stature over the last 8 years. A great book for the revival of the liberal spirit. This book reminded me of everything I love about this country, and everything I'm proud of.

i love her, but didn't love this book. she points the finger of blame at republicans without proving how things were better when the democrats were in control of the congress. a good read, in that it provides a nice glimpse into how washington really operates, but too partisan. i love her, but didn't love this book. she points the finger of blame at republicans without proving how things were better when the democrats were in control of the congress. a good read, in that it provides a nice glimpse into how washington really operates, but too partisan.
