...regarded as one of the leading innovators in the genre of biographical fiction
I think Bill Ayres beat him to biographical fiction when he wrote 'Dreams From My Father' for Imam Obama.

(CNN)—Talk of American exceptionalism has become headline news, with loud sputtering from Rudy Giuliani, who suggested that President Barack Obama doesn't love America in the same way that the rest of us do. Giuliani wants to dwell on our exceptionalism -- the idea that we're different from other countries, and much better.
It's an old idea that Obama took on in the second year of his presidency, when he said: "I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism."
That comment annoyed those who wished him to say: "America is the best country in the world, bar none!"
Somehow the drumbeat for exceptionalism continues. This month, Oklahoma politician Dan Fisher introduced a bill that tried to ban Advanced Placement history classes in his state because the guidelines for teachers didn't talk explicitly about American exceptionalism. The bill passed the House Education Committee in his state by a 11-4 vote but has since been pulled back for a rewrite, the Tulsa World reported last week.

They ignore the positive historic aspects of America's founding and continue to shove in our face how bad we were and still are today.
How much longer must we hear about and need to feel guilty about slavery when no one alive today is either a slave or a slave owner.
Lefties, get over it, America is an exceptional Nation.
Another “God Damn America!” liberal
Denying it makes us dumb ... and vulnerable. The left have no concept of patriotism.
make us dumb?...IT DOES IF YOU BELIEVE THIS SNOT FACE A88HOLE
I understand what he’s saying. What rubes we are for actually thinking that this is the greatest country, the freest (or formerly free) the greatest experiment, the world has ever known!
And that our president is just too intelligent to fall for this, to believe that the country who has given him so much, so VERY MUCH, could be wonderful.
How dumb!!
No. Working at CNN does.
Something tells me dumbness was a pre-existing condition for you, Jay. Perhaps a genetic disorder.
My prescription: 3 hours of Conservative talk radio a day.
The Left pushes “self esteem” ad nauseum….except when it comes to the Founders and their vision for this nation. Then they wish to dwell on the warts they perceive on the face of Lady Liberty, as they tout “equality” instead of freedom. In a dictatorship, everyone but the rulers are equally miserable. That was not the Founders’ vision of America.
CNN.... Mouthpiece for the New World Order.
Something has certainly made CNN dumb.
I thought they started out that way.
Stopped reading.
Liberals are snobs who think America isn’t good enough for them.
