HE'S NOT TOO YOUNG FOR YOU, A NEW E-BOOK
If you want to read the first four chapters of my new e-book, go to www.amazon.com, the to books, then to Barbara LeBey, and scroll down to my third published book, my e-book, a romantic comedy that will keep you laughing and brighten up your day. For men, this will give you a rare opportunity to zero in to what women think about when they're not with you. I promise you will laugh out loud.

HE'S NOT TOO YOUNG FOR YOU
Finally received the cover of my new e-Book. Here's a picture of it:
HE'S NOT TOO YOUNG FOR YOU is a novel, a romantic comedy about three women in their forties, two divorced and one widowed who meet at Single Again, a women's support group. They open a Pandora's box when they decide younger men are more available and have less baggage, or so they think. When all three discover that age appropriate men are either taken, gay, interested in much younger women, freaky, or boring to death, they explore their options on an Internet dating site. Sheridan, a recent widow, had celibate marriage for years, and though longing to find love again, she finds herself almost inept at making love, but an OB/GYN assures her all she needs is "a tune-up and a lube job." When she falls in love with a young lawyer and becomes pregnant, she must decide whether to marry and have their baby or terminate the pregnancy. Patti, endearing and whacky, battles her philandering ex-husband for custody of their daughter. Thrice divorced Meg, snarky and beautiful, learns to overcome the secret of her past. With laughter, some heartbreak, and a full awakening, they confront the unwelcome reality of our sexualized culture and the mistakes they made trying to be better wives and mothers. For the next stage of their lives, these friends offer to each other real support, skills women are good at and men have yet to fathom. They also learn that at a certain point inlife, age is just a number and there actually are some great guys out there of all ages. But they just don't fall off trees.
This e-Book will be available on or about December 20, 2012. You can order it from Amazon, I-Tunes, Barnes & Noble or through Sony E-Reader.

OBAMA WILL BE DEFEATED
I believe in the intrinsic goodness of the American people. Yes, they made a mistake voting for Obama because they didn't see what he was hiding behind the mask. But now they know he was an incompetent shell of a man, a puppet of Muslims, of George Soros, Nancy Pelosi, Donna Brazile, Harry Reid, and the flakes who make up the University faculties.
Obama's real biography is under seal. The media deliberately failed to scrutinize him, but now that he is running again, it's not too late to remove his mask. It will be up to the GOP to reveal his lies. They owe it to the American people to tell us the truth about Obama's real background.

OBAMA, THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR
Obama's failure as president has been obfuscated by his lies up until recently. Now, even the lame stream media is calling him on his lies. Obama doesn't lie to cover a misdeed as Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon did. Obama lies because he has done it all his life and it is now embedded in his DNA. He lies to get his way. He lies to cover up his mistakes. He lies to make himself look good. He lies about others to elevate his own image. He lies about his faith, his associations, his mother, his father, and his wife. He lies to keep his background a secret.
He brings disrespect to the office and to the White House, debasing it with his overblown extravagance and all of it in bad taste. He and that wife of his view their life at our expense as their entitlement while his economy sinks the American people in debt.
He talks about creating jobs...a huge distortion because they are government jobs that cost money and produce no revenue. He talks about Obamacare as if it will provide better health care and lower cost when the opposite is true. He talks about being a friend of Israel, when he undermines them at every turn. He talks about being a Christian when his own book says he "will favor the Muslems if the political winds should change." He attended Madrassas in Indonesia as a Muslim and didn't come to Hawaii until he was 14 years old. He is not an American in his heart. He never learned to be a proud American with an understanding of our history nor does he have the love of country that we all have.
He is a charlatan, an impostor, and the biggest liar that has ever held the office of President of the United States.
