A theological view of Clinton's manipulation of religion

This collection belongs on American bookshelves somewhere near the Federalist Papers and Common Sense. Written by American theological academics, few of whom could by any stretch be considered conservative, this book nonetheless objectively and honestly discusses the misuse and manipulation of religion by Bill Clinton to innoculate his presidency against the consequences of his sexual relations with "that" intern. This book is unique in that it presents an honest critique from the left on the Clinton presidency, and cannot be dismissed as driven by a conservative agenda to discredit the opposition. In fact, both sides of the discussion are thoroughly represented by various writers. Well written, articulate and thoughtful, this book is a valuable resource to be passed down to future generations in understanding the effect of the Clinton presidency on the American spirit.

Time tells

This is a thought-provoking book that will find a bigger audience with time, as history gives the electorate more perspective on our secular leaders who parade moral postures. Who one is does inform how one leads, and whether one should. The generation whose creed was "Question authority" should remember to require more answers.
