Fleeced was a surprisingly good book. I have not read Morris before but own his counter-spin analysis of Hillary's history (I'll get to it someday). You should know, up front, that Fleeced is improperly grouped with the Obama books but only the initial 40 pages or so concern him. After that Fleeced addresses a panoply of issues. The narrative and its subject matter are straight up populism. Morris has always had a populist edge to him and is more of a Republican than a conservative in my view. That being said, most of his observations are legitimate. Valid points are made concerning the futility of releasing the Guantanamo prisoners ad hoc, the way credit cards scam us with a myriad of fees and cloaked charges, the anti-work ethic of senators and Congressmen, and the nature of the subprime loan crisis. The book could have been 50 pages shorter though as there are innumerable lists included that probably don't need to be here. Apart from that, Morris and wife exceeded my expectations.

I surely enjoyed reading this book by Dick Morris. I could read only a few pages at a time because I got so mad at everybody I had to go read another book to get my mind off what is going on all over this country. How do we let people get away with these things? One thing is for sure--both Democrats and Republicans are guilty. When will we do something to stop this fleecing?

Let me start out by saying I'm not convinced Dick Morris is a right wing anything. After all he served President Clinton during his administration. I suspect that what is happening is that individuals are aligning themselves as Conservatives and Liberals regardless of party names.
Fleeced is an indictment of large government and idiotic ideas and not a lambasting of democrats or petting of republicans. Whether it's a Congress who can't or won't get anything done or a government that is so grid locked that neither sides wants to give in first, Fleeced deals with the problem in an even handed way. Dick Morris is a consumate insider in Washington. I find his reasoning to be dead on.
Morris contends that 425 terrorists have been released from Gitmo and that 50 of those have been retaken or killed in Iraq. I heard that the figure was close to 100. I suspect the time lag is at work here, but the fact of the matter is that many of the detainees are infact combatants...perhaps all of them.
Is Fleeced a right wing manifesto? No. Morris is very even handed in his criticism. He indicts McCain for not showing up for his day job just as hard at he slams Clinton and Obama. He goes after all of Congress, Democtat and Republican.
I still have some reading to do to finish Fleeced. I've bounced around from chapter to chapter. Suffice it to say that if you're not upset after reading Fleeced I can't imagine why.
I highly recommend Fleeced to anyone who cares for this country.
Peace always

I have watched Dick Morris before so I decided to read his book. It is just hard to believe how the politicians are selling us down the road and we are paying for it with our tax dollars. The everyday citizen would be arrested and jailed for what they receive a paycheck for. As a senior citizen and a Vietnam Vet I am not only saddened, but very scared of the immediate future. Whats happening to the United States is certainly not what I fought for. Dick Morris's book is very informative about whats going on TODAY and I have randomly checked some of what I read and found it to be true. This is a must read for everyone that plans to vote! God help us all......

Come on people, pay attention. This book explains how we are being used, abused and ignored by the 'powers that be'. Thanks Dick for letting us into the back room and giving us an idea on what to do about it. Now its up to us to put your advice to use and get OUR country back.
