THE OBAMA CONFEDERACY: A Tangled Web of Deceit, Divisiveness and Dishonesty At last, from a pragmatic, down-to-earth, freelance writer, an objective assessment of the impact Barack Obama's years in the White House have had on the World, America and Americans. Seven years in the making, selected articles from David B. Wilson's email network, "LET'S FACE IT: Everyday Political Discussions", have been assembled in this single collection. In an unconventional, man-on-the-street style of writing, Wilson brilliantly blends truth, analogy, satire, sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek literary tools to expose how dirty politics and cronyism have burgeoned in Washington under the current administration. Pulling from his Texas roots, he colorfully describes this era as "a load of crap". Then, with simplicity in his analyses and insightful scenario thinking Wilson brings some measure of reality to the modern political process that everyday Americans just do not have the time to develop on their own. Now, here it is, an easy-to-read book that those who are interested in, but not obsessed with, politics can use to painlessly and, indeed, enjoyably "catch up". The book contains over five hundred articles and opinion editorials regarding specific events that have taken place since President Obama took office. It is divided into yearly segments that are complimented by thematic summaries at the beginning and end of each year. Using content from the above-mentioned missives as subject matter and drawing from his forty years of following American politics, Wilson freely expresses his opinion about the havoc the Obama presidency has wreaked on the Country. The basic information, however, is presented in a form that the readers can quickly absorb and come to their own conclusions. Wilson passionately professes to being a staunch conservative but, this writing was earnestly prepared with the intent to always be fair and authentic in his analyses. His bottom line, however, is this: "THE OBAMA CONFEDERACY" makes the case that Barack Obama's term as President is arguably the most agenda-driven, corrupt period in the history of American politics. Postscript: Just for the record, it is the author's opinion that a Hillary Clinton presidency would be a continuation of "THE OBAMA CONFEDERACY" in which the "crap" would simply be piled higher and deeper.
About the Author: The author, David B. Wilson, was born in McLean, Texas, in the midst of the infamous Dust Bowl era of 1930-1939. His parents could afford to give him and his five siblings very little in the way of material goods but, they gave them their undying love and spiritual guidance accompanied by the values of honesty, responsibility, fairness and concern for others. Wilson graduated from high school and earned a degree in chemical engineering from Texas Tech University. A successful career in the petroleum and chemical industries ensued and he was privileged to travel the World pursuing and executing major production facility projects. He retired in 1998 and then he and his wife moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, to, in his words, "get on with the next phases of our lives". After being retired for several years, Wilson took up writing which quickly developed into an avocation. Since he had been interested in politics and worldwide events for many years, his writing became focused on what he characterizes as "the American situation" or, in other words, the decline of United States leadership in the World. This led to the establishment of an email network that he named "LET'S FACE IT: Everyday Political Discussions", which has been active since 2009. In 2015, "LET'S FACE IT" had grown and Wilson had contributed over seven hundred articles and opinion editorials to the email network. It was then when he realized he had something to say and the idea for this book,"THE OBAMA CONFEDERACY", was born. Today, Wilson still lives in Las Vegas with his wife of fifty nine years, Sue. They have a son, a daughter and four grandchildren who live in Houston, Texas, and Las Vegas. He is a physical fitness addict, a freelance writer, plays the harmonica and does woodworking but, his passions are his family and preserving the freedom and uniqueness of the United States of America.
