Pete Souzas Obama photo memoir

[cilla4progress]

Bought it for myself today for $30 at Costco. A gift. A balm. It’s like Camelot. Big ol’ lump in my throat.

1. It debuted at number one on last Sunday's NYT nonfiction list...

It's the top seller at Amazon right now, where it's also available in Kindle form for $20. The hardcover there is already out of stock!

2. Did you notice the unverified purchases in Amazon...

are from people who gave it a 1-star rating? How can they review a book they haven't even seen? First they give us fake news, now it's fake reviews.

3. they have been doing that for years

they give rave reviews to Ann Coulter and other right wing hacks and bad reviews for all Dem books.

Time was, there developed a fine art around leaving "fake" reviews but they had to be hysterical so that anyone who read the book would know it was a very clever or absurdist joke.

Amazon takes them down now. But they don't or hesitate to take down the political wars posts. God this country is fucked.

4. I ordered this & received last week.

It is wonderful! It's a pleasant walk back to the good old days when a man with integrity and smarts occupied the White House. A must-see book for all Democrats.
