Political analyst and Democratic campaign veteran Mark Hannah gives Barack Obama the victory lap he deserves in this compendium that takes the president's critics head-on and celebrates the president's many underappreciated triumphs.

Barack Obama's election in 2008 was a watershed moment in American history that inspired supporters on the Left - and fired up enemies on the Right. Elected in the midst of multiple crises - a Wall Street meltdown that imperiled the global economy and American troops entangled in two foreign wars - Barack Obama's presidency promised from the start to be one of the most consequential presidencies in modern American history.

Although he stabilized the economy and restored America's prestige on the global stage, President Obama has been denied the credit he deserves, receiving instead acidic commentary from political opponents such as former vice president Dick Cheney, who declared that Obama was "the worst president in [his] lifetime" - an accusation that reflects the politics of resentment and recrimination that has come to characterize the president's critics.

In The Best Worst President, Mark Hannah swiftly and systematically debunks conservative lies and disinformation meant to negate the president's accomplishments and damage his reputation - baseless charges too often left unchallenged by the national media. The Best Worst President is a whip-smart takedown of these half truths and hypocrisies, each refuted in a smart, witty, fact-based style. Hannah not only defends the president but showcase his administration's most surprising and underappreciated triumphs - making clear he truly is the best "worst president" our nation has ever known.
