The First Biographical Portrait Ever of This Key Political Figure
Written by a leading journalist and filled with more than 100 color photographs, this authoritative and up-to-the-moment new biography provides much-needed perspective on one of the most important figures on the national political stage.
An lively overview of Obama’s life, this timely book begins with his difficult childhood as the son of a Kansas-born college student and a black Kenyan who abandoned the family, moving through his election to president of the Harvard Law Review (the first black student ever), his early political career (including his loss of a congressional race in 2000), his own family life with wife Michelle and two daughters, his 2004 election to U.S. Senator, and his emergence as a symbol of hope for America. Including his own words and comments from both his critics and supporters, Hopes and Dreams is essential reading for all those interested in the man who is being talked about as a candidate for our highest office.
No political figure in recent memory has generated the interest that Obama has, and many compare his appeal to that of a rock star. Only forty-five years old, Barack Obama is certain to play an important role in America’s future. Here is his inspiring story to date, in words and revealing images.
Who paid this man to produce this book?
| Customer Rating: | | I purchased this book for a little over $6.00. It's obvious the cost of the book is subsidized by someone--probably the DNC or George Soris. It's a typical fluff piece--you won't find any meat inside. Save your money. It's not even worth $6.00! |
How To Play The Race Card
| Customer Rating: | | The title to this book should be, "How to Win Voters and Influence the Media by Playing the Race Card". Obama has a sonorous voice and a million dollar smile. He can read from a teleprompter the speeches written by others. But for his expertise in playing the race card, he would still be a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School. He is a de jure, but not a de facto American. He grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia. He neither knows nor shares American values. In their lust for the presidency, Democrats are willing to overlook these warning signs. Like the German industrialists in the 1930s who believed that they could control Hitler (another charismatic speaker and self-proclaimed messiah), the Democrats believe that they can control Obama. Like the German industrialists, they are wrong. Although Obama is bi-racial, he has chosen to allign himself with the Black Establishment. He will protect their interests at the expense of everyone else. Democratic voters are a lost cause. But independent voters should read this book in conjunction with Obama Nation and The Case Against Barack Obama. Weigh the evidence. Then decide whether whether to vote for him and his wife. Are independent voters willing to assume the risk of electing as President a man who, like Hitler, refuses to articulate the details of the "change" that he promises to bring to America? |

The Audacity of Hope
| Customer Rating: | This is MUST reading for all Americans and will give the reader a thorough understanding of the Barack Obama the media is trying to convince us we know nothing about. He lays himself bare -- his life, his beliefs, his thoughts, his ambitions and his plans for a better America for all of its citizens. I doubt anyone with an open mind will come away from this book unconvinced that he is more than ready to be the President we need in 2008.
