US Presidents Assessed, Graded in Xlibris Release

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 28, 2008 – John McCain, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton are just some of the names making the news headlines these days. These presidential hopefuls are making the rounds, jockeying for the position of the most powerful leader of the free world – the United States presidency.

While these presidential candidates may have encountered criticism, opposition and scrutiny during the 2008 campaign and election season, they have yet to meet their toughest critique.

The Xlibris book, “Presidential Leadership by Example: A Presidential and First Ladies Report Card for the Future Millennium”, is an apt overview of what the new American president will dive into, once seated in the White House. Author Paul David Cook presents this self-published release as a report card that grades all the Presidents of the United States.

Presidential Leadership by Example stands out not because it measures up each President by their political achievements and failures, but because it evaluates each chief executive according to their personal values and how others perceive them as role models.

This book is an eye-opening read as it also features some unexpected quotations from famous and beloved former Presidents. Current presidential candidates will do well by flipping through the pages of Presidential Leadership by Example in preparation for a life lived under constant scrutiny – the American presidency.

Presidential Leadership by Example is available on the Amazon and Xlibris online bookstores.
