This was am amazing book by an amazing man. Really unique viewpoint and an interesting perspective with which to view American politics. Obama is obviously brilliant and is an American political historian...love that aspect, especially. His passion for this country and making the lives of the American people better shines through on every page. His humility, honesty and humanity are refreshing. He's idealistic, but no doormat. The man has drive and ambition...wonderful qualities for someone looking to make the lives of others better. He's smart, genuine and sees the big picture...what's best for America as a whole. He gives the reader not just his opinions or snippets of American history, but also a candid look at his own personal journey. He's obviously a Democrat, but shows appreciation and admiration for some individual Repbulicans, too. Wonderfully refreshing change from the usual hatemongering between parties that has become the ugly norm in America in recent years.
A must read! October 10, 2007

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I read this book a while back, and I re-read it just last week now that Obama is a major Presidential contender. This book is very well written in terms of style and syntax, plus it takes us on a journey of man grappling serioulsy with issues of hope, worth, justice, patriotism and social obligation. It seems that whatever the outcome of the election, Obama believes in decency and hope and has pledged to do his part to make this a better society. It reads well, makes you think and makes you actually glimpse an American living closer to its ideal. This is a must read!

The background story of an inspirational leader who dares to hope and beleive that the status quo doesnt have to be, that even the rusted scales of justice can be moved if we are brave enough to go there.
 Timely revelations. November 23, 2007

I read this book with "candidate Obama" in mind. He makes some good observations about the process of government under the current administration. He also offers opinions on how to return our government back to civility toward one another. My only criticizm is that he writes as though he is teaching the reader the entire history and content of The Consitution, thus doubling the amount of words necessary to make his point. Frankly, I found parts of this book boring.
