The organization did not review for accuracy recent books by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, then-Sen. Joe Biden, either book by Barack Obama released before he was president or autobiographies by Bill or Hillary Clinton.

Some proof of that claim would be good there. Maybe they didn't find anything worth writing about. Where with Palin they had all those lies to work with.

Palin's book is in the bargain bin.

Major retailers reportedly selling Palin's Going Rogue below cost
November 16, 2009 10:21 pm ET — 61 Comments

Sarah Palin's memoir Going Rogue: An American Life has garnered attention in part because of the number of copies sold before publication. But the book has been offered at below-cost prices from major online retailers, and Newsmax has used the book as a loss leader to promote its magazine, potentially inflating the book's sales.

Bush's low numbers were something you completely wrote off. Now you act like Obama much higher numbers are extremely important. Clear hypocrisy.

Not quite.

You are comparing Bush's exit numbers to obama's first year numbers.

Comparing the month of November in the first year of when they were elected the approval for Bush was much higher.
