Now or Never: Getting Down to the Business of Saving Our American Dream

By Jack Cafferty

In his bestselling It's Getting Ugly Out There, CNN's Jack Cafferty skewered the liars and losers who were trying to harm the nation and explained why Americans had to take their country back. While the Bush exit from the White House brings a certain sense of ""mission accomplished,"" for Cafferty that's only the beginning.

In Now or Never, the curmudgeonly Cafferty applies his heat-seeking scrutiny to the hot-button issues that top the 2009 agenda, including the economy, China, Iraq, the war on terror, and our broken immigration, education, and healthcare systems. Will Obama turn things around or will it be business as usual? Will a hitherto spineless Democratic Congress hold individuals accountable for abuses of power? Cafferty gives voice to the fears and hopes of Americans from all around the country; he also gets personal with moving stories of his experiences raising kids with values that seem to be disappearing in our culture.

Powerful, provocative, and drawing on the latest news from America and around the world, Now or Never makes lively reading for Cafferty fans and everyone who cares about America today.

Now or Never

Superb writing on the wackos of the American right wing Geriatric Old Party and their cohorts! A must read!

You Have to Read This New Book!!!

I enjoyed reading Jack's first book and NOW OR NEVER picks up where that one left off. Kudos to Jack for continuing the charge and holding our leaders' feet to the fire. Fans of Jack will particularly like the part about China (chapter 4) and his take on China's ludicrous demand for a formal apology following his on-air comments during a story about the Olympic Torch run.

Pulls no punches

I work for the publisher and got my hands on an early copy. As you might guess from seeing him on CNN, Cafferty is bipartisan in his outrage and his determination to make America strong again. He pulls no punches in criticizing the screwups of a Democratic-controlled Congress, so disappointing to those of us hoping for a new dawn in the Obama administration. He's certainly got plenty to say about how the previous administration got us into this mess, at home and abroad, as well - and about how we must all clean it up - not just leave it to the politicians. Cafferty says it's "now or never" in fixing this country and I say, amen.

Thought Provoking

Jack Cafferty is never short on opinions and this book is no exception. Cafferty criticizes the American leadership from all angles, sparing neither liberals nor conservatives from scrutiny. Whether or not you share his views on the "American Dream," in NOW OR NEVER, Cafferty gives his readers a lot to think about regarding this country and the role we all play in making it the best it can be.

Equal-Opportunity Curmudgeon

I was a fan of It's Getting Ugly Out There, and since I work for the publisher I was able to mooch a copy for myself. I expected it to be a direct and in-your-face rant about our current situation like the last book, and it certainly is. But it also offers some helpful analysis of what Cafferty thinks we should be doing to fix the myriad of problems facing our country right now. Interesting read for anyone concerned about where we're headed and whether or not the new government is putting us on the right track.
