Summary: misses chance for solid case
Comment: The book was an interesting commentary on contemporary American issues but left much to be desired. Instead of building a rock-solid case for the urgent need for responsible leadership, Mr. Simon simply gives his opinions in a somewhat disjointed four chapters.
In the first chapter "Pandering in Politics," the examples he gives of politicians pandering all happen to be domestic priorities of the Republican Party. In my opinion, he missed an opportunity to talk about the need for selfless leadership and just wrote another partisan rant on the shortcomings of the opposite party. It cheapens the rest of his book.
My other main criticism was that the chapters didn't flow or connect very well. The book could have made a much stronger case that the public is being pandered to in many different aspects of our life, but instead deviates more from his original premise in each successive chapter. It almost gave me the impression that he rushed to get the book finished.
The book wasn't a waste, however, you could get more for your buck (and time) from many other sources.
