“Packed with fascinating personal perspective and testimony, Michael Takiffs A Complicated Man wholly justifies its title. The book is far more than a kaleidoscopic oral biography of President Bill Clinton. Aspect by aspect, it guides us through the struggles of postmodern America, as the most ambitious baby boomer of his generation seeks to modernize the Democratic Party-and, as in a Greek drama, is fated to be destroyed. Veritably, an all-American saga, with a cast of thousands-favorable and unfavorable.” MenBookAmericaPresidentPartyStruggleGenerationsPerspectiveBabyDramaAspectBillsDemocraticClintonCastsComplicatedGuidesDestroyedTitlesGreekFascinatingJustifyAmbitiousBiographiesTestimonyDemocratic PartySagaPostmodernBoomersBaby BoomerPresident Bill ClintonGreek Drama Author:Nigel Hamilton

“I don't understand how the Republican party is the party with the reputation for fiscal conservatism and fiscal sanity, when they're the ones who run up the debt. It was Reagan who ran up the debt and now Bush is doing it again, and in between, Clinton and Bush's father, I must say, worked so hard to get that deficit and that debt down.” HardRunningFatherPartyRepublicanClintonDebtReputationRanSanityRepublican PartyDeficitConservatism Author:Bill Maher
