The Promise of History: Establishing the Blessings of Liberty & Equality (Blend Books) 1 review
Barack Obama
Blend Books, 2008
Interesting Book
This was a very interesting and informative book. There are too many pundits these days telling everyone what to think and what (they say) everything means. Turn on the television or radio and the election coverage sounds just like a sports program. "I think Obama will win . . . McCain has a chance if he pulls through in the end . . . the convention will be critical. . ." It is far better to ...

The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream 553 reviews
Random House Audio, 2006
First time I've felt optomism/hope for the future of our country
I recently turned 18 so this will be the first time I'm able to vote, but I have payed a lot of attention to politics since Gore lost in 2000. Reading this book has shown me that not only is Obama experienced enough to lead, he is thoughtful enough to see all sides of every decision he makes. This book is extremely well written and gives me hope for the future of the country and the world.

(Signed First Edition) Barack Obama's 'Dreams From My Father - A Story of Race and Inheritance' (Signed First ...3 reviews
Barack Obama
Crown Publishers, 2004
Gotta keep the Hate Alive! Er, I mean "Hope"
"Dreams from my Father" is the political memoir of up and coming American statesman, political guru, and all-around wunderkind Barack Obama. Or at least that's the official story.
Really, it's like the very words of God. Or at the very least the New Hip Happening Messiah, the one I can give a 10 to because I can dance to it. Truly, to be at an Obama rally, and touch the hem of His (Obama's) ...

Dreams from My Father274 reviews
Barack Obama
Random House Value Publishing, 1997
It's even better than 5 stars
I wish that every American could read this book! I was moved and impressed as I learned about who Barack Obama is. This book was written shortly after graduating from law school and before Obama entered politics. It highlights what an intelligent, perceptive, philosophical and principled person he is.
This is so much more than a simple bio. Obama's relections about the events of his life ...

Barack Obama in His Own Words
This book is a good mirror into the thinking of Mr. Obama. Much of what is in the book is what he says on the campaign trail, which makes him a very credible candidate for President of the United States od America.
Quotes are taken from printed and electronic media which gives one insight into his personal and political life.
I would recommend this book if one wanted to have a "hard copy" ...

The Audacity of Hope (SIGNED 1st Edition)2 reviews
Barack Obama
Crown, 2006
Ahem...
...With regard to the previous review, the price of the book has already gone up.
Further, these are historic times.
We are on the precipice of an economic "recession" (or *much* worse) with high amounts of inflation about to hit in about 6 mos to a year in order to pay off this national debt (yes, deficits *do* matter...they are *delayed taxes* that we have been obligated to pay.)

Barack Obama, U.S. Senate
Arc Manor, 2008
Barack Obama: What He Believes In - From His Own Works
Barack Obama's works in the Senate in 2007 are admirable. They show a picture of a person who has diverse concerns especially in the fields of education, veterans' rights, healthcare, global warming, and poverty here and abroad. I like the way he is able to work with people of both parties, demonstrating that there are many problems concerning us all. . . that it isn't all "hate and hurt" ...

Um comentário conquistou lugar na atenção do público: a observação de que, apesar de toda a discórdia e luta manifestas na história da América enquanto nação, o seu povo foi sempre guiado por um optimismo indestrutível quanto ao futuro, a que o senador Obama chama «a audácia da ...
