Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation

I am a high school senior and have been curious as to why most of my friends support Obama with very little in substance to say about him. They really don't have reasons and don't seem to know much at all about how our government works, our constitution, the founding fathers, or basic economics. Going along with everything Obama does just seems to be the easy and popular thing to do. I received this book from someone who believes it is up to my generation to know more about what is happening, and be more proactive. I was honestly quite surprised by the extent of the manipulation of people my age and those who are now in college and in their twenties. This book has been helpful and I feel more confident in making political decisions based on what I believe and information I choose to gather, rather than what I am simply presented with.

I can't believe where we are at this present time in America. My whole family voted for Barack...I mean my whole family..we are all white working class people. We usually get together for major family events, of which was my mother's 85th birthday. It was not too long before politics was brought up and I have to say, on save my admitted socialist sister attending NYU journalism program, we are all kinda' shell shocked about what just went down in D.C. with the vote on health care. We all talk about how this system needs fixing, as a couple of us are in the health care industry. But, the way this was passed has left most, not all, but most of us very troubled. And, after we calmed down a bit, when the food arrived...very hungry at this point, we had come to the conclusion that we voted for Barack Obama more because we were not happy about still being in Iraq and Afghanistan and all it was costing. 20/20 retrospect can be very powerfull and there are some very sober, very troubled souls in my family now, wondering if we had made a mistake voting for Barack, save my scialist leaning sister who has no issues with the way things are shaping up. She's very hopeful, even now. That's my sis. However, I think the main worry we are having is that the administration is not listening to we that want a little bit more fiscal restraint and moderation on spending. And, when my retired family members heard that Obama is warming up to the idea of nationalizing our 401k retirement plans, that was a real shocker. I don't know if this is true; but, if it is, I don't think there would be many more votes from my family for his re-election in 2012. I hope that's not true. We are worried. Now the book review: So far, two of us have read the book and are astounded at how true what he is saying did happen. A couple of us are technogeeks and we followed and recieved many of the messages on our ipods and facebook to vote for Barack and that he would be the game changer in Washington and that he would change D.C. and make EVERYTHING transparent and EVERYTHING would be on C-SPAN. I think that's one thing that my family and I were so dissappointed about the none of this happened and that it was all kept under wraps and we could not watch all of the promised debate. Instead, we got something that even Congress did not read......never, ever, ever thought that could happen in America. This book has really opened my eyes and made me really slow down, take a chill pill and slowly, patiently and OBJECTIVELY watch what politicians say and do so that one can make a more reasoned decision. Thanks Jason for writing this book for my generation. With this new perspective, we have no excuse for repeating this mistake...

He isn't afraid to call people out and frankly that is just what this country needs. Bravo Mattera! I cant wait for your next gem.
