Where does he start?

In his bestselling "It's Getting Ugly Out There," Jack Cafferty skewered the liars and losers who were harming the nation and explained why we had to take our country back. While Barack Obama's campaign and history-making election bring a certain sense of "mission accomplished," for Cafferty that's only the beginning.

In "Now or Never," the caustic Cafferty catalogs the fallout of eight years of Bush lunacy and reveals just how daunting a task our new president faces. With an economy in tatters, two ongoing wars, a rivalry with China, a brewing conflict with Iran, the war on terror, and our broken immigration, education, and healthcare systems, confronting these urgent crises should top the 2009 agenda. Does President Obama stand a chance of turning things around? Will the Democratic Congress hold individuals accountable for abuses of power? Cafferty digs deep into each of these issues and gives our new president some advice straight from the heart of a mainstream American.

Powerful, provocative, and sure to be controversial, Now or Never makes lively reading for Cafferty fans, for Obama friends and foes, and for everyone who cares about America today.
