The American Crusade by Mark Spivak

I couldn't finish this book. At about the 44% mark I chose to abandon it. However, if another reader might have been enamored with the Bush Jr. presidency, then have a go at this novel.

 

This is the story of a not so bright man who becomes the president, and then is dependent on being told what to do by his controlling and arch conservative Vice-President. Because of the interaction between President George Cane (Bush) and Vice President Robert Hornsby (Cheney), I felt as if I was reliving the entire Bush presidency which I detested. During Bush’s eight years in office, I had numerous international travels, and Bush was negatively perceived by nearly everyone I encountered. I got very tired of saying that I had not voted for him and did not approve of his decisions. 

 

The parallels between this story and Bush’s story is just too close, so I let the rest of the book go.
