He is the perfect presidential candidate. Conservatives love his hard-hitting Republican rsum. Liberals love his peaceful, progressive practicality. The media can’t get enough of his larger-than-life personality. And all the American people love that he’s an honest, hard-working man who tells it like it is. There’s just one problem. He is William Howard Taft...and he was already president a hundred years ago.

Interesting concept. Mediocre execution.
Revisado: 02-28-16
I had just finished The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin and was looking for more to read about Taft.
The concept of this book instantly intrigued me. William Howard Taft operating in today's political climate? Sign me up!
The book had a few good moments, but focused too much on jokes about how different 2012 was from 1912 and Taft's girth. Taft was one of our most intelligent presidents and it wasn't reflected in this story. The Taft in this story occasionally reflected the Taft in The Bully Pulpit, but not as much as I would have liked.
At best, the story intrigued me. At worst, it annoyed me.
