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. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Thoughtful and Quick reading for those who wants to know about ObamaI am currently reading "The Audacity of Hope" and ordered this one more as a coffee table book. I also ordered this one because my husband who is working 50 hours plus a week and going to school part time doesn't have time to read more on Obama that he would like to. This book is perfect for those who are short on time but would like to find out more about Obama. The pictures are wonderful and the story is just as good ... it is more of an outline than an actual book, but it's inspiring, full of ... Read More Rating: - Hopeful pictures of a living dreamThe biography reflects the life of president-elect Barack Obama by way of pictures, text passages and quotations. The author Steve Dougherty has a nose for Obama's typical statements. Combining quotations like "Not before you prepare yourself for something bigger than you think you`re capable of, will you recognize your real potential" with fascinating images of a moving life result in an informative illustrated book. Pictures from his youth, his family life, his college life, his political years ... Read More Rating: - Good resourceThis is a great overview of Obama's life. It is short and to the point. It also contains a lot of nice photos.My kids(11&13) and I enjoyed it. Rating: - great bookThe book is great with good color photos, interesting reading, will make a good addition to my history collection Rating: - Who paid this man to produce this book?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!
