Look at the polls today and you might think President Bush is a failure. The media is relentlessly hostile to him. His party lost both houses of Congress in the 2006 election. And yet...and yet, his presidency could be one of the most important in modern times. George W. Bush not only faced an unprecedented attack on the American homeland, but he also responded with an ambitious effort to remake the world -- an effort being fought in Afghanistan and Iraq and in smaller skirmishes around the globe, an effort that for all its setbacks still might succeed, with revolutionary consequences. New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed White House reporter Bill Sammon is a true insider, and in his new book, The Evangelical President, he offers a snapshot of the Bush administration from winter 2005 to summer 2007. This momentous time mixed triumph and disaster-from the triumph of the successful tracking and killing of Al Qaeda's terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and the spectacularly successful Iraqi elections, to the disaster of the subsequent unraveling in Iraq and American voters' repudiation of Bush in the congressional elections of 2006. But through it all, Sammon shows that President Bush took the high road, fighting to spread moral democracy around the world while the low-minded press focused on Vice President Cheney's accidental shooting of a friend while hunting and Virginia senator George Allen's use of the word macaca on the campaign trail. In this far-reaching book, Sammon details: * Why Bush believes the Republicans will hold the White House in 2008-and his candid assessment of Barack Obama * Why the Supreme Court's ruling on the partial-birth abortion ban was a victory and vindication for Bush * Why Bush is determined to press ahead with his policy in Iraq, despite his party's loss in Congress * Why Bush has offered advice to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton * How the media has continuously underestimated President Bush, mocking him for his faith and ignoring his achievements. The Evangelical President is an unforgettable glimpse of a President at war, supported by an evangelical belief that tyranny should be overthrown, democracy supported, and America defended, combined with a steely stubbornness to see those goals through.

History will enlighten the anti-Bush/Chenney pundits and cause them to remedy their caustic treatment of these two men at a time of great peril for Americans. Bill Sammon removes the fog of political bias and leads us to understand that Bush concluded that we are really at war with Extreme Islamic Terrorism, something that needs to be confronted globally, with conviction uninhibited by partisan politics, if we are to garner security domestically.

Bill Sammon is doing his country a disservice by continuing to write & put out pontifical fluff (his verbal IQ is approximate to that of a toddler's) Sammon would have us believe (erroneously) that the `messianic evangelical' Bush is justified in starting wars on pretext alone, in unwarranted militaristic takeovers, war crimes, fascistic censorship, prostitution of September 11th , oil & the odiously recurring sentiment in the Republican party of greed, unapologetic imperialism, social hypocrisy, corporate military & colonialization, & policies worthy of the very dictators Bush pretends to `protect' us from. In the inarticulate fashion that seems to be the hallmark of every conservative writer or pundit (i.e. Rush, O'Reilly, et al) Sammon shines & perfectly personifies the ignorant, self-serving, sanctimonious neo-con base he so ably represents. His unworthy efforts to efface the left by downplaying historical facts, misusing information, gathering disinformation, & throwing his misguided, misfired ill will toward the Marxist liberals (yeah I said it. Get over yourself) only serve to make him look like the bigoted, anti-communist, pro-big business-screw the little guy-pretend to be Christian ignoramus that he is & if this is at all indicative of his fake Christian base & the current state of American intellectual discourse (which it is) then I give this book zero stars (if it would let me). This literary hack has put out yet another book that is nothing more than an indisputably bumptious & uncalculated, made up, ineloquent, pompous, paramilitaristic right wing monkey portrait that so rightfully exposes Bush & his insipid cronies for the inelegant creatures of silver spooned tyranny that they are & that make Sammon look like the soft, psychotically delusional & inarticulate moron that he is. I say we oust Sammon from the Algonquin round table. In the mean time may we flame on brothers & sisters & let us keep railing against the obscene transgressions upon our better judgment!

Very good book........I wonder how we could get it to those who criticizes the President for the legacy he is building. Obviously, they will not buy the book. It gives a very honest and unbiased commentary on the President.

I always thought that Pres. Bush must be an extraordinary man and this book showed me how he really is and that I was right. A great manager, leader and definitely a true believer. He has a good heart and he knows where he is taking the country. Although his big problem is that he relies on his aides like Condi Rice more than he should and that's why he is misguided on bunch of issues, i.e Iranian policy. This book will definitely change your views about the current US president and will make you understand him more. He's one smart man!

President Bush is a good man and will be judged a good president. I enjoy reading Bill Sammon's books about him because he is one of the few correspondents who is fair toward the president.
