3 out of 5 stars Is this the same Newt we knew !   August 15, 2008
The book is a compilation of dreams of a man in suspended reality. Newt had a mess on his hands in 1994 when he took over as a speaker, and now in this book you can find out why the House Speaker's job during the following years became even more of a disaster. How can a man whose personal life is so shattered by his own deceitful ways, try and tell people in this book, "How things should be"?
I gave this book 3 stars because an intelligent person can read it and use it as a guide for his or her political thinking, by taking what Newt endorses and then following the near opposite path. But please buy the book used from the Amazon.com Marketplace. And I think the epitome of hypocrisy is for Mr. Gingrich to let the words truth, or Christian anything come out in his writing.....yeech!



5 out of 5 stars Evaluating Real Change   August 5, 2008
Gringrich cites American's responses to polls on topics that are very important such as health care, how to handle terrorism, taxes, competitiveness, etc. The results of the poll show a preponderance of Americans believe in common sense solutions yet our elected representatives cannot agree on anything. He identifies a series of solutions that address these important topics and shows how the left is out of step with the poll responders. This is a good read with more balance than you might expect as Republicans get their fair share of blame.


5 out of 5 stars Real change   August 3, 2008
Absolutely excellent; really brings you up to date on the issues that Government (Congress, et al) needs to take to get America headed in the right direction.


5 out of 5 stars history professor   August 2, 2008
I wish more people especially politicians knew more about history and the lessons we need to learn from history. Being a history professor makes Newt especially talented in seeing the historical perspective of the problems and solutions. His book offers change we can believe in for real American Solutions. I took notes and have contacted politicans and the media about my concerns. We, the people, need to be heard and this book plus his Ammerican Solutions site helps us be heard. One clear result is his help with increasing interest in drill here, drill now, pay less.


4 out of 5 stars Newt Gingrich for PRESIDENT!!!!   July 31, 2008
In this great country - the U S A - I feel we do not have a good choice for PRESIDENT!!! There has to be some one more qualified to run our country than the 2 men running!!! OBAMA thinks he's great and McCAIN is acting like a wimp!!
