Pros
The wise sage's influence on america and her founding is indisputable. If i could accomplish in my lifetime what benjamin franklin was able to accomplish in any 5-year span of his adult life, i'm sure i would be rich beyond imagination.

Isaacson is reputedly a great publicist and business person, but as an historian and researcher he remains woefully ignorant. Isaacson does neither.
Typical left wing liberal democrat nonsense. Revisionist history to promote liberal leftist views. I'm not even a republican but at times it's tough to tell if he has written a franklin biography or anti-gop op-ed.
