Query: Executive Orders offers intrigue but also tedium

I don't think this is Clancy's best book ever. The Ebola threaat, the Iran/Iraq merger, and the assassin within the Secret Service were all fascinating but the book is bogged down with too many trite and idealistic speeches and tedious detail about the presidency. For example we don't have to be told three or four times that the president's plane is a VC-30 which is code named "Air Force One". I just felt that a lot of the analysis of domestic politics was oversimplified and was not really necessary. I agree that a good editor could have trimmed this book down to 600 pages without losing the suspense. It seemed idiotic that Jack Ryan took the VP job and had no idea that he would ever become president. COME ON! Ryan's naivete kind of got on my nerves. I mean it wasn't like he was an outsider to Washington who just fell off a turnip truck.
