To be completely honest, I found this book to be not only annoying to read, but a one sided shot at our current President. Although I do believe Barack Obama was only voted into office because he would be the First Black President, I feel that Kevin McCullough attacked him more than he probably deserves. McCullough’s No He Can’t felt more like an attack on a President who got stuck cleaning up after the Bush Administration rather than an intellectual criticism of Obama’s progress, or lack thereof. In language that felt forced and lacked a sense being genuine, McCullough left me with much to be desired.
It took some time for me to get through this book as I often felt bored and irritated, as I felt as though many of the facts written about were just opinions. Halfway through the book, I checked out the worked cited section in the back only to realize that many of the quotes came from works that were already written by Kevin McCullough. I was highly disappointed with the lack of originality that this book contained. If you are looking for a true and informative look at the Obama Administration, this book will not offer it to you.
