...Wow. That sounds like one of the most concentrated levels of fail in a book to ever exist. My "favorite" parts were the black anti-American anti-white social studies teacher, the President being John Edwards (though I'm disappointed he apparently never cheated on his cancer-stricken wife), and the main character being eight years old when he was born.
I would like George Soros being the main villain more, except that since every crazy right-winger (as well as the LaRouchians, who seem to have no coherent political ideology except insanity) has an unnatural obsession with him, I'd be more surprised if he wasn't.
But now I want to write a left-wing technothriller. Maybe the main character can be a rogue CIA agent--or even better, an Internal Affairs police officer--who kills evil CEOs and abortion clinic bombers while promoting unionization, affirmative action, and immigration.
yes!! ...and because she has a super savant skill of calculating ANY number or mathematical problem of any kind (developed at the age of six), advanced training in [insert martial/weapons skill of choice] AND the authorization to go after tax-dodgers by ANY means necessary...
There's no emoticon appropriate for expressing how amused I am right now.
I am seriously getting closer and closer to writing this for my NaNo novel instead of my planned fantasy one. Now all we need is extremely crude stereotypes of Southerners and people who live in small towns (I'm thinking massive and chronic incest) and I think we're set!
Well, the Koch brothers are the most obvious Soros-analogue. Rupert Murdoch might work better. To really piss off conservatives though, it might be best to go after a pseudo-Ronald Reagan.

also, who'd be the Soros-equivalent villain? a thinly fictionalized version of Cheney perhaps?
