The hard-bound edition of this book was given to me by a one-time friend of mine 6 years ago...but almost anything you want to know about Obama's administration can be found in the introduction titled "Hunting the Virtuous".
P. J. O'Rourke has written a very detailed description about liberals. I especially like the chapter "Second Thoughts About the 1960s". (He was once a New Leftist, but has since discovered reality in conservatism and is now a best-selling author.)
Read part of his introduction here:

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass from your lawn...
...and the Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then gets elected to prove it.

Some of Patrick Jake O'Rourke's quotes...
• Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
• Whatever it is that the government does, sensible Americans would prefer that the government does it to somebody else. This is the idea behind foreign policy.
• The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop.
• There's something about Marxism that brings out warts; the only kind of growth a Marxist economic system encourages.
