A veteran political analyst and a renowned New Yorker illustrator celebrate Barack Obama’s achievements in a compendium that takes his critics head-on.

Barack Obama’s election in 2008 was a watershed moment in American history that inspired supporters on the Left—and fired up enemies on the Right. Elected in the midst of multiple crises—a Wall Street meltdown that imperiled the global economy and American troops entangled in two foreign wars—Obama’s presidency promised to be one of the most consequential in modern American history.

Although he stabilized the economy and restored America’s prestige on the global stage, President Obama has been denied the credit he deserves, receiving instead acidic commentary from political opponents such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, who declared that Obama was “the worst president in [his] lifetime.”

In The Best “Worst President”, Mark Hannah and New Yorker illustrator Bob Staake swiftly and systematically debunk conservative lies and disinformation meant to negate the president’s accomplishments and damage his reputation—baseless charges too often left unchallenged by the national media. Hannah and Staake not only defend the president but showcase his administration’s most surprising and underappreciated triumphs—making clear he truly is the best “worst president” our nation has ever known.

Title: Laying out the case for Obama
Review: In a succinct and understandable way, Mark Hannah has explained why Obama will be remembered as a president who rescued the country from disaster, got it moving again and thrived with progressive results during his presidency. What hooked me right away was the author's defending Obama's executive orders. Before even being sworn in, the GOP decided to thwart Obama at every turn. That speaks volumes about distraction and disruption. The president's end run around this Congress proved him worthy not only in the eyes of American citizens but to the world as well. Hannah goes on rightly to defend Obama's opening up Cuba and Iran, advancing the cause of health care by helping to insure millions of Americans previously without coverage, standing up for the environment and putting the economy back on track. All of this done, without the Tea Party-fueled right wing, whose own self-interests outweigh the good of the country.This is a terrific book for those who are interested in facts, not rhetoric. I highly recommend "The Best 'Worst President'" for its attention to reality.

Title: The Better to Understand You, My Dear
Review: This book provides insight into policies and laws that President Obama introduced and some were passed. Reasons were offered for creation of inclusive laws that would benefit many Americans. Oppostion voices were quelled with explanations regarding the citizenry.Some of the same voices that are anti-Obama have been in training for years to make themselves heard and possibly influence and/or control political outcomes: McConnell, Rubio, Trump, Issa. The book reviews Obama and his decisions relating to: The Man; The Country and The World. It is well worth the read if only to find out what program initials stand for: AUMF, TARP, BOLO.An informative read that keeps you current and correct with some of your political views. The book shows that The Best "Worst President" may have been one of the most influential voices for all Americans yet.

Title: The Clash of Left and Right
Review: I gave it five stars because it's stark contrast to the book I'm writing It gives my book the distinction of being the only one that will clearly refute and negate the claims made by it's Author, Mr. Mark Hannah. His book has given me the opportunity to once and for all highlight with pure facts and evidence, the wayward ways of the President he so obviously support who is taking this nation down a path to ruin. His book is excellent in the sense that it clearly reveals why President Obama appears to continue to do the appalling things he does that has this nation on a path to ruin. Because he knows the vast majority of the Democratic Party supports him come hell or high water. Therefore in order to counter the "Left's" intentions for this nation; we on the "Right"must know how and what they believe. And Mr. Hannah in his own way lays it out plain and clear. Get the book!!! I hope to have mine published by October 2016.

Title: Succinct coverage of President Obama's policies and decisions
Review: Very readable succinct coverage of President Obama's policies and decisions, often not accurately portrayed because of blatant partisanship during his presidency. The book is in the format of topic/accusation that is often repetitively heard, and then the actual events, policy, and/or decisions made are described and why. It is a relief to have a "handbook" of what actually has occurred for discussion with others, to counter the frequent misrepresentations stated by Republicans.

Title: Worth reading....thumbs UP
Review: I enjoyed very much. It was easy to read and easy to understand. It explains it the Obama presidency by breaking it down into three segments, the situation, The argument, and the reality. Yesterday the book uses resources very well and supports all facts with the bibliography provided

Title: Very Appropriate Title
Review: As a supporter of Obama I felt I knew his positives and negatives. I haven't shifted one way or another but the discussion of the chosen topics helped validate and clarify what I understood and what I thought I understood and helped in my lack of understanding. I am glad I read this book in the last months of Obama's presidency.
