Pinheads & Patriots, where you stand in the age of Obama, is a fact-based look at contemporary and historical figures. These include political leaders as well as sports figures and Hollywood icons from FDR to Obama, and from Tiger Woods to Marilyn Monroe. Each one takes his or her place among the others on his lists of pinheads or patriots. The book opens with an examination and exposition of the various meanings of the terms pinhead and patriot. This leads into Mr. Bill's pronouncement of what he meant the terms to mean in relation to the figures in this book. Unlike Mr. Obama, who claims to make things perfectly clear every other sentence, Mr. O'Reilly really does make things perfectly clear. He gives his subjects a fair shot, listing the facts of their actions. He provides reference points for his own decisions of who is what. He doesn't demonize or make personal attacks against any of the people he profiles. In fact, he treats them with sympathetic understanding, recognizing his own flawed nature as a fellow human being. I didn't agree with all his assessments. That is part of the entertainment value of O'Reilly's nonfiction works to date. He encourages his readers to think and decide for themselves. He is not so concerned with selling his own point-of-view as he is of providing facts on which his audience can formulate an opinion. To his trademark saying, "Or am I wrong," I have to answer that when it comes to this book, the presentation is precisely right!Read full review
BILL OREILLY IS SMART AS A WHIP.

Recomended reading for everyone. Jimmy Carter is no longer the worst President of our time. Mr. Obama has taken the No. 1 position. Sad days for America. This book will give you remarkable insight.
I can't pass up anything written by Bill. He reminds me so much of my own father who was confident and righteous. I consider Bill O'Reilly a true American Patriot and wish more of us were like him. If you're a fan of his you understand. If you aren't, you aren't reading this anyhow.
As a fan of Bill O'Reilly and having read all of his other books this by far is the best. He is right on target on most issues, and is an excellent writer. When I was reading it I felt like he was in the room speaking every word to me. You just have to read this.
pinheads and patriots was like watching a full hour of the o'reilly factor. if you like the show than you will love this book I recommend that you read bill o'reilly and senator obamas 2008 interview first before you start reading the book it'll give you a better understanding of bills perspective on things in general.
I have not read the book as I bought it for my Mom. I do not know if I will read it; I do know that Bill O"Reilly is a very good book writer and have enjoyed other books he has written.
We love Bill O'Reilly. He writes a clear and concise book with his added humor. We would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the O'Reilly Factor. We purchased the CD for a road trip.
I really respect Mr. O'Reilly and value his oppinions. He calls it like it is and truthful. I would recommend this and any book that he has written. Mr. O'Reilly is very much a Patriot
I am reading this book now and really like it. It is the best book that Bill O'Reilly has written. I have read several of his books and am a big fan of his TV show on Fox News.
