What People Are Saying:
"This book is a must read for all 100 United States Senators planning to run for President. Of course that's an exaggeration. All 100 of us are already running for President. And we can all use Iris Burnett's wit and insight. So You Think You Can Be President? is required reading not just for those of us who have had the audacity to ask ourselves that question, but for everyone."
Senator John Kerry, Presidential Candidate '04

"At a time when presidential campaigns have become too dull and the news media too negative, this book brings back the humor in thinking about politics and government—Mark Twain would have loved it."
Newt Gingrich, author of the New York Times best-selling novel Pearl Harbor and Real Change: From the world that Fails to the world that Works

“A brilliant book that also solves the budget deficit. If presidential candidates have to pass this test, there will be a vacant McMansion on Pennsylvania Avenue. And do you know what houses like that are going for in Washington these days?"
P.J. O'Rourke author of On the Wealth of Nations & Peace Kills

"I've been running for president since 1984, and I was a total failure. Then I read this amazing book, and today I am the leader of the free world! At least that's what I tell people in bars."
Dave Barry Humorist, Novelist and author of Dave Barry’s History of the Millennium (So Far)

"This triumph of a tome is what would happen if the most brilliant nerd of a political consultant were to write a strategy memo after taking acid for a week – which all of them should do anyway. I haven't had this much fun since I was at the Stones' concert in Memphis in 1975 and passed out after Honky Tonk Woman. Iris is a muse you can use!"
Tom Oliphant author of Utter Incompetents: Ego and Ideology in the Age of Bush, and the best selling book Praying for Gil Hodges: A Memoir of the 1955 World Series

"Self delusion binds all sane human beings together. It keeps us off street corners predicting the end of the world. The DNA of Presidential candidates instructs us to be slightly more delusional. It keeps us in New Hampshire predicting victory. Iris and Clay broke the code."
Senator Bob Kerrey President of the New School, and former Presidential Candidate

“Any book that suggests me as a Supreme Court Justice is a winner. I'd remove the blindfold from the Scales of Justice statue, equip the lady with night vision goggles, and put a bat in her hand. Clay Greager and Iris Burnett for President."
Randy Wayne Wright author of Dark Light and the best-selling Doc Ford series

"Mother Goose insisted that Grimm take this test and his scores were amazing—so he's going to decided to continue not to be interested in anything, start numbers of unsuccessful businesses, and hire Karl Rove and he feels sure he can be the next President. Mother Goose will, of course, be Secretary of State."
Mike Peters, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist

"A stunning, sunny book. It may attract a new breed of presidential candidate: one with a sense of humor."
Donna E. Shalala, former US Secretary of Health and Human Services

"Socratic dialogue anyone? Sometimes the right question can just change your life. Well, probability's on your side with this provocative little book that has more moral and philosophical questions than I had to answer in 25 years of schooling (or 35 years, if you give extra credit for Hebrew school). Whether it helps you to pick the right party, first lady, chief of staff, or position on drug benefits for seniors remains to be seen, but it'll undoubtedly convince you that you may have the stuff to be the next leader of the free world (or at least play the role believably in a TV mini-series)."
Dr. Allan JacobsonFormer Husband, Professor and Chair, Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School

"No one who intends to shamelessly pander to the frigid citizens of New Hampshire or waste the best years of their lives trooping around Appanoose County, Iowa should be without this book. If Ross Perot had read this book, well, never mind..."
Steve Daley, former political reporter for The Chicago Tribune, and notable Washington political consultant

"All current and future Presidential aspirants: Put Iris Burnett on speed-dial! Her unvarnished and practical advice stands out in a field dominated by poll-tested pablum. She'll make you laugh all the way to the White House"
Linda Peek-Schacht, Chair, Department of Political and Organizational Communication, Emerson College

"This book introduces us to all the foolishness in government without being foolish, but still being very funny. It's an important read for anyone who cares about the future and exposing the truth. And trust me if anyone knows about exposure it's me."
The Naked Cowboy, Robert John Burck, writer, musician, entertainer and The Naked Cowboy

Iris Burnett is the first and only woman to have been Director of Security for a National Political Convention. With over thirty years' experience in politics, government, and entertainment, she has played key roles in eight Presidential campaigns, been an advisor to two Presidents, and served in high level positions in both Presidential administrations. She has also been a senior communication strategist for far too many campaigns and elected officials. She believes the real key to success in campaign politics, is always maintaining a sense of humor. Clay Greager, a two-tour Viet Nam vet, successful business owner, and renown author, philosopher and poet has suffered the consequences of too many Presidential decisions. Through it all he has maintained his unending sense of humor. After having voted 47 times in the past six presidential general elections and sending several thousand emails to potential candidates asking for a simple answer to a simple question "Why does two plus two equal four" and not getting one response, he is hopeful that the candidates are literate -- but won't know til they take the test.

• The timing for this humorous book from Skyhorse Publishing, New York, couldn't be better for all those presidential hopefuls... I just hope the finalists, (and the voters), have the good common sense to read this new book and at the same time inject some humor into their campaigns as Iris and Clay have put into their book.
