How people have been influenced by media regarding the elections and dirty politics, Just a hint, It has been happening almost from the very beginning, The sad part is, that you can change the names election after election and the politics still remains, the good part is, even though each side time and time again says that the other side if elected will destroy this country, this country still keeps going on. Our system of government is terrible and still better than any other government system in the world. Don't be frightened by what is said during the political campaigns, that is just part of the money building process, and trying to get people to vote from a place of desperation and fear, and they are getting very good at it. It won't change until someone comes along with great ideas who gains the respect of the people and refuses to attack his opponent, if that person wins hands down the other side will try to copy that, because they want to win also. This series of books are wonderful and makes me proud of the leaders and quality of people who have been our Presidents over the years, I will have to find more books to continue, this was the last of the series that my Mother had.
