From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
Democratic Presidents that had 2 full terms in the 20th Century: Wilson, F. Roosevelt, Clinton. (Truman's 1st term was a fill-in for FDR, Johnson's 1st term was a fill-in for JFK, Carter wasn't re-elected.)
Republican Presidents that had 2 full terms in the 20th Century: Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan. (McKinley died in office, T. Roosevelt's 1st term was a fill-in for McKinley, Harding died in office, Coolidge's 1st term was a fill-in for Harding, Hoover wasn't re-elected, Nixon resigned, Ford's only term was a fill-in for Nixon, G.H.W. Bush wasn't re-elected.)
Wow, those lists are surprisingly short, even when allowing McKinley and Clinton, whose times in office extend outside the 20th Century.
An interesting fact: 1928 was the last time the Republicans won the White House without a Nixon or a Bush on the ticket.
