It's time to take back our country. Now. It's that simple. It's that urgent. So begins Dick Morris and Eileen McGann's latest and most important book. They say that we must act before President Barack Obama fully implements his radical political agenda. Because after Obama has won his war on prosperity and canceled the war on terror, it will be too late to regain our liberty or our security. At a time when we needed a pragmatic centrist to lead us out of recession, we got a doctrinaire socialist who wants to use the crisis to put the government in charge of the economy and enact European socialism here in the United States. Cars, banks—what's next? He will keep at it until Washington governs every major business in America and sets all our salaries. It's a catastrophe. Dick Morris and Eileen McGann saw the meltdown coming. In their book Outrage, they called out the house of cards that was Fannie Mae. In Fleeced, they went after the credit card companies, the subprime mortgage lenders, and the hedge fund billionaires who conspired to wreck the economy—and Barack Obama, whose policies, they predicted last summer, would "trigger a stock market crash." Now, in Catastrophe, Morris and McGann take a hard look at America in free fall—and at how Obama is transforming a vulnerable America into a socialist state. They tell the truth about Obama and his radical policies: - He will destroy our health care system so that no one gets adequate care.
- He designed his bank rescue plan to pave the way for nation-alization of the banks and socialization of the economy.
- He firmly believes in government control of our major industries—he's already commandeered the banks and the automobile industry.
- He plans to reshape the political landscape to keep the left in power for decades by cooking the census, enfranchising illegal immigrants, muzzling talk radio, and coercing workers into unions.
- He is attacking those who fight terrorism while letting the terrorists go free.
- He gives aid to Hamas while Shariah Law threatens to take over America.
- He has repealed the Declaration of Independence and put us under a worldwide, European-dominated financial regulatory system.
But Obama is not working alone. Morris and McGann spell out how Congress is complicit: - How Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Charlie Rangel use special interests and special friends for their own enrichment and glorification.
- How Ted Kennedy Jr. is exploiting his father's health care power.
"This is no time for apathy or alienation or hopelessness," Morris and McGann remind us. "It's a time for action." And that action must begin now—before it's too late.

There's a lot of information in CATASTROPHE, by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann. Unfortunately, this information is full of facts and figures that do NOT bode well for the average U.S. citizen -- or, in fact, the citizens, (or residents -- legal or illegal), of any country on this planet! ) :
Well-written, easy-to-understand, and full of facts, dates, places, and NAMES of those, (especially in the U.S.A. -- but international, as well), that want to take away the freedom of most people, and replace it with socialism, (even though THAT didn't work at all in the former Soviet Union...which finally collapsed FROM WITHIN), health-care rationing, government control of YOUR MONEY(!), government-edict-run schools, elimination of conservative talk-radio....and other horrors which can easily be found in "1984"!
UNFORTUNATELY, HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT A WORK OF SCIENCE FICTION! IT is, sadly, what is on the verge of happening RIGHT NOW! Forewarned is fore-armed, they say -- and this book gives as much information as anyone can have in one, easily-read volume, to the individual citizen. It's SO terrifying, one might not want to read it at all -- but Mr. Morris and Ms. McGann didn't write this book to scare us -- they wrote it so we can learn what the "powers that be" want to do to us...and, in the last chapter, tell us all HOW TO FIGHT BACK!
This book is full of emphasised, grey "boxes", in which are highlighted various super-important facts. If you read nothing else in this book, READ WHAT'S IN THESE BOXES!
The print in this book is nice and large, (at least in the hardcover edition, from which I write this review), and, as mentioned before, the book is written in a style easily understood by the intelligent lay-person. However, the paper is of a much poorer quality than would be expected, (did the Obama Administration allow it to be published, on the stipulation that the paper not be acid-free -- or was the publisher, Harper-Collins, just trying, sadly, to save money?). The book is well-bound, with cloth edge-binding, (though not, sadly, sewn into signatures). The buyer of this book can, however, cover the three open edges of each paper with yellow, red, orange, or green coloured marker-pens, which will keep sunlight from destroying the pages for a longer time. (This was something done with all PAPERBACK books about 30 years and more ago -- somethng I recommend doing to, (and for!) ALL books, not made of acid-proof paper, now!)
Sadly, too, this otherwise excellent book has no index. I am sure that many people -- whose attention-spans, like my own, have been blasted to smithereens by watching, for 20 years or more, the 3-commercials-every-15-minutes-or-so, that has become routine for TV watching -- go right to the index of important, non-ficition books like this, to go right to the pages of the facts most crucial to themselves. Even an un-annotated index would have been VERY welcome in this book!
Actually, there is SO much information -- indelliby CRUCIAL information -- in this book that it difficult to summarize it in this review. But easily-read summaries of the contents are on the books covers, (front and back), on the front and back flaps.
I've often wondered, through the years, how it must have felt to be an American Colonial, before and during the American Revolution. I think that I know how it felt now -- it was a totally terrifying experience! Thomas Payne's words, "These ae the times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot, will shrink from...." echo in my mind. As do the individual colony's mottos, such as "Don't Tread On Me". Thomas Jefferson said: "Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty." And Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would exchange freedom for security will have neither." (!) Prescient people, Jefferson and Franklin -- wonder what they'd do today? In my own estimation, I feel they would have become Libertarians, and support Dr. Ron Paul and Senator Mike Gravel, as I am doing. But this is just supposition. Without an index, it's hard to tell if Dick Morris and Eileen McGann have mentiioned these excellent, present-day fellows in their book. But I'm sure they'd agree!
In sum, this book crystalizes and expands upon some words a friend of mine once said to me: "1984 came 20 years later". Read this book. Become outraged as I have been....and DO the things suggested towards the end of it. Freedom is at stake here -- your freedom and mine. Or -- would you rather have a mandatory RFID chip planted, knowingly or unknowingly, somewhere on your body?

"Catastrophe" brought corruption of our government into the forefront of my mind. It has changed my thinking about how I view our politicians and leaders of our country. J.M. LoCaste

This book is a great read. I read it a couple of months ago while I was also reading Malkin's Culture of Corruption, so I get the two a little confused. It's nice to have a former Clinton administration insider tell of what has been going on the last 15 years or so. It's somewhat sad that Morris had to further some agendas before realizing the consequences of his support of Clinton/democratic policies. I found Bill Clinton's multi-million? (I don't think it was billion, well, I hope not) mistake with the Gulf's oil contracts to be quite reflective of his administration. Anyway, this is a great book and the material is stated simply and perfectly. I highly recommend it to anyone.

This book is very revealing and tells the truth of which most of the liberal meadia will not report. News and Media as we once knew it is DEAD. Dick Morris tells it exactly like it is.
