'Definitive compilation! Includes the bestsellers in political humor and practical politics What Mitt Romney Meant to Say and What Barack Obama Meant to Say. From Good Kindle Books Review: This book definitely has some hilarious moments. Romney is just such a perfect target for humor, and easy to parody. Wood gives you a good dose of that. If you’re looking for humor and are a Tea Party conservative, this will put a smile on your face as you sort through the pathetic Republican field... ... Obama can be somewhat difficult to parody, since he such a skilled and smooth speaker. Richard Wood pulls it off with style, pointing out deep intentions buried in-between the well-crafted quotes. Obama has a way of saying things that can be defended in a court of law, and Wood has fun pulling out real meaning from the soaring rhetoric. From the introduction: So, what is the Political Quotation Translation series? It’s where quotes from politicians like Mitt Romney are translated into plain English, so that you can understand what was the meaning behind the words. In some cases, the translation will clarify when a politician misspeaks. Other times, the translation will do away with doublespeak and reveal his true intent. In all cases, the translations will be serious yet satirical. Who knows? You may even discover a conspiracy or two.'
