I read that when I was a kid! Looks like it's making a comeback. I think many of the things in there were prescient, especially when applied to Bush Jr and today's GOP. But of course, Obama seems to be falling into some of the same traps. Both Bush and Obama seem to be in bed with Wall Street and the corporations. That's to be expected of the GOP, but I'm disappointed in Obama. I expect more of him.

What's particularly noteworthy is there is not one Republican in the most centrist category....unless, of course, you consider Lieberman an R. Not one!

Please note.....its better to click on the link......the lists don't transcribe right in an SI post.
