Old Bill is as Partisan as ever in this little book, and although his denial of responsibility for creating the path to financial destruction through massive deregulation in the financial sector by his administration was probably the saddest thing I've ever read, I still think that he makes a lot of valid points in this book. I just wish he would admit that eliminating Glass-Steagall was a really big mistake. I mean, nobody could have really seen the financial crisis coming back then, and I don't think it was really his fault in the grand scheme of things. But really Bill, just say oops, I made a mistake. Honestly thats the only reason I ever picked up this book in the first place, because I wanted to see what he had to say about his part in creating the path to the current woes we are in, in relation to the financial meltdown. Heck, I mean I make mistakes all the time. Difference is I can admit them.

Oooohhhhh partisan politics. Anyhow, other than his inability to admit some partial responsibility for our current woes, I found a lot of his points both interesting and valid. I also like how he extensively cites his evidence from other books that have been written by him, which I'm pretty sure you aren't really supposed to extensively do, but really it is rather harmless in the grand scheme of things. You can't take facts and numbers for their face value when reading books by people actively involved in politics, as one should know anyways, so it's not even really a big deal. I DO think Bill spent some time thinking this current crisis through however, and I'm actually really quite blown away by how intelligent he actually is in creating ways to solve the rather complex problems America currently faces. Pretty interesting read overall.
