Great Speeches
It was wonderful to read these great speeches by great people. The book is something to be cherised by all. It was easy reading and the price is right. I will probably purchase more of this book to give to friends and family. Barack Obama is the man of the year, so everyone wants to read his speech.
Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise

cometh the hour cometh the man
Barack Obama's latest book, Change We Can Believe In, is indeed a sincere attempt to put forth his views and plans to renew America. The amount of thought he has put behind his seven arousing speeches speaks volume of the quality of a leader passionately engaged in envisioning problems specific to America and its global role while not forgetting its glorious idealistic past. Like his other ...

Dick Morris Speaks the Truth
I have been a liberal most of my life, but this book, has been very convincing, a lot of it is true, and it explains why so many Democrats in recent years have been changing their positions to Republicans. You could consider me a progressive Republican, I believe in most liberal social issues but no liberal can argue that liberal policies are better for the economy or foreign policy, they ...

Outstanding book on multiple levels
Ronald Reagan famously (and wrongly) said that government wasn't the solution to the problem; it was the problem. In fact, it is the solution to the problem. We have now suffered through thirty years of a federal government that has been intentionally impaired so that it will not function for the American people, but instead has worked almost exclusively for the needs and whims of big business. ...

Obama, a remarkable generalizer
I have rarely been so privileged to read a book such as DREAMS OF MY FATHER. Obama reveals his thought processes as he struggled to find his place in the larger sicial fabric. Were that all, this would not be so great a book. But, he describes his maturation in thinking as he interacted and learned from others. And, while personally growng, he was able to empathize with others from virtually all ...

great book
Obama is a great actor. He tricks people into thinking he cares about them, when in fact he is just another crafty politician with his own hidden agendas. So many people are being fooled and tricked into liking him that it is like a cult. Hitler had these same qualities, and look what happened. Please wake up people! Turn off the TV and turn back on your brain and don't be fooled. Ralph Nader ...

A moment, and a book, to share with the young...
In every lifetime there are but a handful of experiences that we truly share with every other American--not just our family or neighbors, not just our city or state, but every person in the country. These moments may be tragic, like the attacks of 9/11, or triumphant, as when we gathered around the television to watch Neil Armstrong take that first step on the surface of the moon. Soon ...

One for the Ages
The photographs by Pete Souza in the fascinating collection "The Rise of Barack Obama" tell us much about Obama, more than what is expressed in the depth of his expressions: his wisdom, compassion, concern, dilemmas, and his hope. These poignant, spontaneous photos portray how he is viewed by those who come in contact with him - friends, colleagues, supporters, and his family, especially his two ...

I loved reading this book with my 10-year-old son
I bought this book for one of my child therapy clients at work and we read it together. We couldn't put it down. I am speaking for the both of us when I say that the book "Yes We Can" was enlightening and inspiring. Not only did it do a great job of explaining the American political system to young readers, but it also detailed Barack Obama's life in a way that offers youth the inspiration to ...

Great Read
This book is well written. It is something all those who voted should have read. It shows how little we know about the now President Elect. I think all all voters should read books on all candidates to be better informed.

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" ...

Hope is what we want for children
I scanned the pages of this book in the bookstore, saw one illustration that made me wonder if the book was more religious than I'd like, but I bought for my grandson anyway. At home the first thing I did was check the Amazon price. The average customer rating was a dismal 2.5, but I noticed a curious thing: all reviews were either 1 star or 5 star--nothing in between. How odd! Might something ...

Accurate whether you want to admit it or not
I don't know what facts and sources the people who have rated this book with 1 star are looking at. You all are as biased as a die hard ultra right winger. This book does not simply use the internet for research like I am sure most of you people who poorly rated this book 1 star did. It uses real research (beyond just typing issues in on google which I am sure is hard for some of you to believe) ...
