I am deeply insulted you would ask that! Yes, I read it cover to cover! You seem to be involved in a game of "gotcha" for reasons I do not understand? You should be ashamed of yourself. I did not say Obama had anything to do with the 2008 crash, but he was the one that had to clean it up and the book talked about it. And I didn't say it was the main theme. I would ask you the same question. Did you read it cover to cover!? I read it cover to cover 10 years ago, or so, as I did the other two. I only remember specifically the part I quoted. Memories fade over time. One cannot write about the 08 crash without bringing Obama's policies into the aftermath. But I do remember he was explaining about how the banks came to get involved in risky loaning and credit default obligations where they could not quantify the collateral, CDS, etc and . And it had to involve Obama as he was the one who had to clean it up. I also read the other two books specifically on Obama by Chuck Todd and Richard Wolff cover to cover which were specifically about Obama. Wolffs called Renegade and I don't remember much about that, but I do remember Chuck Todds book was a lot about his relationship with the Democratic party. I read non stop, and usually have five or six books going at the same time. I do not have a photographic memory. And many books I do not finish, but I did those three. You have these crazy theories about the left and see them as some sort of evil and hate it when I post on the left, but then I accidentally posted a Bullwark piece and you liked that. You felt MSNBC was masturbation, isn't that what you said?; and seemed to think I might learn something from Billy Kristol. I have listened to Kristol for 50 years and he is a garden variety right wing nut. I have nothing to learn from Kristol and a lot to learn from the folks on MSNBC as they are smarter and more clear minded. I do not know what your problem is?
