In the novel Heat and Light, 
President Obama has a right to his opinion as all Americans do. I have to wonder why he so often chooses to trash our country when he is on foreign soil as he did on his recent trip to Asia. Some thoughtful person put together eighteen of his complaints about the United States. I offer my response (if anyone cares) in italics after his comment.

I don’t mean that in a negative way, but in a way to describe a book that I most likely would not like (e.g. far too many discussions about feelings).

Since it’s already paid for on a shared Kindle account I decide to read it.
I was a little surprised when very early in the novel, Before the Fall
