“Every man is a moon and has a [dark] side which he turns toward nobody; you have to slip around behind if you want to see it.
-Mark Twain
From introduction to The Amateur.”
Edward Klein, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House

“In the case of many Kennedys,” Neubauer continued, “their drive for power is often supported by good deeds, by a desire to help the poor and disenfranchised, by humanitarian goals. They describe what they do not merely as ‘politics’ but as the much more lofty-sounding ‘public service.’ All this reduces the need for them to feel guilty about their single-minded pursuit of power.”
Edward Klein, The Kennedy Curse: Why Tragedy Has Haunted America's First Family for 150 Years

“Last year, it cost the British taxpayers $57.8 million to maintain its royal family,” wrote Robert Keith Gray in Presidential Perks Gone Royal. “During that same year, it cost American taxpayers some $1.4 billion to house and serve the Obamas in the White House, along with their families, friends and visiting campaign contributors.”
