Laura Ingraham: Profile

Laura Ingraham is the most listened-to woman in political talk radio in the United States. "The Laura Ingraham Show" is heard on hundreds of stations nationwide and has been addicting legions of listeners since its launch in 2001. Always smart and entertaining, Laura is a regular Fox News contributor and the principal substitute host on The O'Reilly Factor. She is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of four books--The Hillary Trap, Shut Up & Sing, Power to the People, and new smash hit The Obama Diaries, released July 2010. A former litigator and Supreme Court law clerk, Laura is a graduate of University of Virginia School of law and Dartmouth College. She is also an avid supporter of our troops and a variety of military organizations.

Laura's first book, The Hillary Trap, was first released in June 2000. Her second and third books, Shut Up & Sing: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the Media are Subverting America and Power to the People, respectively, are both bestsellers. The Obama Diaries, was released July 13, 2010, and immediately shot to the top of The New York Times bestseller list.

In Power to the People, Ingraham focuses on what she calls the "pornification" of America. She discusses issues such as traditional family values, education, and American patriotism. Power to the People stresses the importance of getting involved in the culture: "The main thread that runs through these topics I cover in the book is civic involvement and civic virtue. Get in the game. Start a blog, report on what is happening at your local PTA. If you are a parent, and you are disgusted at what you see on your kid's computer screen, do something. Track where your kids go on the Internet. Tell your kids that you are going to review where they are on the Internet. Be a parental filter. Learn about threats that face America--from within and out. Education is the first line of defense."

In The Obama Diaries, Ingraham tackles the cynical "razzle-dazzle" marketing of the Obama White House and exposes the administration's true plans to "remake America." Major media outlets love to describe the president as "no drama Obama," but The Obama Diaries tells a different tale through hilarious and informative "diary entries."
