Download Tip and the Gipper: When Politics Worked AudioBook Free
From the writer of the New York Times best retailer Jack port Kennedy - and Suggestion O'Neill's past chief-of-staff - comes the firsthand, one-of-a-kind report of the a friendly relationship between Leader Reagan and the Presenter of the House. They were the political odd couple - both most powerful men in the country, some who, in writer Chris Matthews' words, "couldn't become more different or even more the same." For six years, Matthews was inside, watching the evolving relationship between Leader Ronald Reagan and Presenter of the House Suggestion O'Neill. Their philosophies were a long way apart - Reagan intention on scaling returning federal government, O'Neill fervent in defending it. Yet there is common floor too: long lunches distributed on St. Patrick's Day and a mutual respect - politics and personal. Three days after Reagan's taking pictures, Suggestion was the first outsider at the president's bedside. Drawing not only by himself impressive knowledge but on intensive interviews with those closest to his subjects, Matthews brings this unlikely friendship alive in his unique speech, rendering as lively and novelistic a listen as Jack port Kennedy and a timely object lesson in how bipartisan assistance can work.
