Editorial Reviews:

Here are the facts:

The United States has released 425 terrorists from Guantánamo, at least 50 of whom have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both say they're fiscally responsible. But each has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten years—and dressed them up as tax cuts!

Mainstream Media has been given marching orders from the Society of Professional Journalists: never refer to "Islamic terrorists" or "Muslim terrorists." And they are obeying! Whenever our brave agents disrupt a terror plot, The media dismisses the culprits as a gang of idiots—lulling us into a false sense of security.

If the liberals win the 2008 election, they will cripple talk radio—forcing stations to give equal time to left-wing programs, and insisting that liberals play a key role in station management.

Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudan—for a total of nearly $200 billion.

The Do-Nothing Congress is still doing nothing—and the worst offenders are the presidential candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain, who never show up for their day jobs as senators . . . except to pick up their $165,000 paycheck!

Is it any wonder that Americans feel fleeced at every turn?

As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress appear to be AWOL.

Who's calling the shots instead?

Big business, big government, big labor, and big lobbyists. And their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying credit card interest rates higher than 25 percent, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries.

In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleeced—by our own government; by foreign countries like Dubai that are gobbling up American interests and spending millions to influence government decisions and American public opinion; by Washington lobbying firms that are pushing the agendas of corrupt foreign dictators on Capitol Hill; and by hedge-fund billionaires collecting huge tax breaks courtesy of the IRS.

With their characteristic blend of sharp analysis and insider insight, Morris and McGann call offenders of all kinds on the carpet—and offer practical agendas we all can follow to help turn the tide.

Summary: Fleeced by Dick Morris
Comment: This is a great book full of well documented examples. We must be aware of what is going on here in the USA. This book will open your eyes.

Summary: Morris' Fleecing Is Mostly Political
Comment: Dick Morris has made a career of exposing the foibles of those who in one form or another--usually political--have been fleecing America. In his most recent book of the same name, he takes dead aim at a wide variety of scalpers who seek to separate America from its security, its work ethic, its national character, and other sectors that for want of a better term used to symbolize America. And therein lies the book's strength and weakness. As he goes about giving an thoroughly deserved lambasting to the fleecers, he places too many under one tent. As I was reading FLEECED, I noticed that of the eighteen chapters, the first half dealt with the political issues that he often raises as a guest speaker on The O'Reilly Factor: Obama's questionable grasp of security, taxation, and education; media bias that consistently downplays terrorism while demanding a "Fairness Doctrine" for talk radio; and the left's insistance either to close Guantanamo Prison or release outright its many incarcerated terrorists. In the second half, Morris plays consumer advocate who rails against the outright frauds perpetrated by the sub prime mortgage lenders, the usorious credit card conglomerates, and the NEA teacher pension rip off artists. To his credit, Morris zings the right as much as the left. However, he dilutes his thrust by trying to solve too many of America's various woes at the same time. John Stosser, for example, covers much of the same ground in his various consumer fraud bestsellers. Yet, there is much to like here. Nowhere else can one find what America would be like under President Obama with respect to Obama's vision of a tax-burdened America. Further, he concludes each chapter with an Action Agenda in which he urges readers to take specific action against specific abuses, often naming names that readers can contact for redress. His writing style is breezy and non-technical, just as he appears on television. In short, if one wishes to find a muckraker that rakes in more than one kind of muck, than FLEECED is a good place to begin.

Summary: The Problem with Morris' opinions....
Comment: Obama, in the true liberal fashion, has fluid thinking. He vows to surround himself with intelligent people and to hear a variety of opinions before moving forward. He has gone so far as to compare his prospective cabinet with the cabinet Lincoln held, in order to understand the forces dividing his nation.

Is our nation still divided more than a century after the civil war? Yes. And there are those who would profit from keeping it that way -- the Bush/Clinton regime, namely. Whether it's Walmart or Haliburton....

So Obama's proposals might not yet be perfect. OK, I grant you that, Mr. Morris. But is he willing to listen, to evolve, and to carry this country in a direction not directly solely by greed? Perhaps his readers should consider that option as well.

Summary: Fair & Balanced
Comment: I have always enjoyed Dick Morris because I think he speaks the truth. I don't like many of the things he says, not because its spin but rather because its a reality I am not comfortable with. In this book he brings up issues about many divergent and problematic concerns which also made me uneasy, I think this is a good thing. If one looks at the Table of Contents you will find many topics that will interest or distress those of any political perspective, a fair and balanced endeavor.

I appreciated "Outage" more however in "Fleeced" I found myself challenged to be objective which is a healthy effort for anyone attempting to be thoughtful.

Summary: Oh Good Grief
Comment: I finally gave in and glanced through this mess. Perhaps Morris is counting on people forgetting who he was. He was the man Bill Clinton went to when he needed to sell the U.S. a bill of goods. Is Dick Morris a "right-winger" or "left-winger?" Who cares? He is a man whose moral compass doesn't exist. Read this if you're interested in what Mr. Morris thinks will sell. But anyone reading this to inform him/herself is wasting precious time.
