Politician's Books

Ulysses Grant wrote the first presidential best seller and it was a good one. Grant had lived an exciting life and HE WROTE HIS BOOK HIMSELF in a clear and thrifty style.
Dwight Eisenhower wrote a memoire of WWII, also a best seller and, I believe, he wrote it himself. Grant and Eisenhower both graduated from West Point and weren’t the doddering fools their enemies insinuated they were.
John Kennedy won a Pulitzer Prize for Profiles in Courage, but he might not have writen it.
Barry Goldwater wrote drafts of his newspaper column, which his assistant completed. I believe his assistant helped with Goldwater’s first book. Goldwater resigned from the senate when he ran for President. He said a person didn’t have time to serve in the senate and run for president. That didn’t stop Hillary Clinton, Jim McCain and Barack Obama. Goldwater couldn’t mult-task like these modern politicians.
If ghost writers wrote Jimmy Carter’s books, they aren’t claiming them.
Al Gore’s Earth in the Balance was ghost written.
Hillary had assistance with her books.
Jim McCain is unable to use a keyboard due to war injuries and dictated his book.
Ron Paul writes his own books. He’s too frugal to hire a writer.
I’ve heard that Bill Ayers wrote at least one of Obama’s books.
Sarah Palin used an assistant for her book, which has sold 1,500,000 copies and it isn’t even in print yet.
I wrote my book, Wet and Hungry, myself. It tells exciting stories of real, working people and it’s more entertaining than the recent spate of over-paid politicians’ self-promotional pulp. Don’t give those people more of your money, buy Wet and Hungry, instead.
