About the Author

Reviews
During times of war or economic recession, and especially around election years, the thought on millions of American's minds is "I could be president." Former presidential advisor Burnett and author Greager (a two-tour Vietnam vet) put these Americans to the test, literally, with 200 (actually 201) queries designed to gauge readers' level of POTUS-worthiness. With tongues firmly in cheeks, Burnett and Greager interrogate readers about the issues-eventually-but not before getting into the most pressing matters: "Incredibly Personal History," "Family Surprises" and "Who's Got the Big Bucks?" In addition to true/false, multiple choice and short-answer questions (thankfully, there's no essay portion), Burnett and Greager supply POTUS Training Exercises and an extensive, chuckle-worthy glossary: "Politics: Is synonymous with infomercial... The art of making people, who have no clue what you are talking about, become believers." Balancing sarcasm and criticism with a bipartisan spirit (or, more accurately, a plague-on-both-your-houses spirit), Bennett and Greager provide a stinging perspective on what we've come to expect of our presidents (and their underlings). Presidential hopefuls and armchair pundits alike should enjoy this satirical self-evaluation, and are sure to find lines worth tossing around at the next campaign event. 25 b/w illustrations.
