What will Barack Obama call his memoir of his time in the White House?

And you can bet that he will pull no punches when he writes his book.

He will explain in stark detail how the Republicans held our government hostage. Mitch McConnell and John Boehner will receive few kind remarks. The Republican Party will be exposed for plots and things we have not yet heard about. It will not be flattering.

It is sad, almost tragic, that Barack Obama will have to wait until he is out of office before he can tell the people about what is really going on with their government.

But it will be told.

Probably not a good title, maybe "Blocked at Every Turn".

Even if he is frank about the behavior of certain GOP politicians, and dishes some dirt, he's not going to say a hell of a lot about their paymasters.

But his memoir will sell big, even if the truths it tells are mostly little ones that distract.

What exactly do you think he's going to say? He's a go-along-to-get-along type of guy, and I imagine his memoir will be pretty tepid.

What regrets do you think he'll share? Surely this eight years isn't *all* the fault of the Rs. That he'll turn on the Republican Party is fantasy.
