| For anyone out there wondering who the real Barack Obama is, "The Audacity of Hope" will give you one clear idea. It is part memoir, part political manifesto, encompassing his comprehensive vision for America. The book reveals him to be very smart, well read, compassionate, and sometimes quite funny. I think few people reading the book will agree with him on every policy issue, and no one is really prepared to take on the problems facing our country. But, reading this book gave me faith that the ... Read More: |

| I was hoping this book would take the concepts Obama spoke of during his campaign and, having the leisure of a book, expand on them. I expected an in-depth treatment of his policies and goals.
Instead, this book is a tribute to redundancies and purple prose, and seems to be a protest against pronouns. It's terribly written. |

| Okay, I'll admit this. I really don't have a strong understanding of the economy. I'm trying, with some of my reading that I've been doing lately (try: The Conscience of a Liberal, to inform myself on the cause of the recent economic disaster, and what to do about it. It's clear, regardless of my understanding of the crisis, that it is a crisis nonetheless. Economist Robert Kuttner has written a very timely and prescient book on this issue called "Obama's Challenge: America's Economic Crisis and the Power of a Transformative ... Read More: |

| Everyone needs to take Zinn's magnum opus here for what it is --> It's no more fact or propaganda than what we were fed in elementary school.
The only fact we know about the past is that you can't trust any account of it. To borrow the setting of Plato's cave....all we see of history are shadows of the past on a wall, and each version is projected through a different lens and light source. It's safe to say that nothing we see of it accurately reflect the events....it's impossible. There is no factual reality ... Read More: |

| ON STRIKE UNTIL AMAZON STOPS DELETING FAVORABLE VOTES FROM FANS AND COUNTING NEGATIVE VOTES FROM THOSE WHO HATE THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE BOOK BEING REVIEWED MORE THAN THEY CARE ABOUT THE REVIEW.
The extremist republican reviews are dismally childish. I am an estranged moderate Republican leaning Libertarian, and the authors lose one star for mis-reading Lincoln as a model, and a second for lacking a strategic or analytic foundation for actually governing but I restore the latter for balance. The plan as proposed is a good ... Read More: |

| 10.Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down by: Kaylene Johnson April 01, 2008 |

|
| Sarah Palin's critics need to read this book. Governor Palin has accomplished so much in a short time. She is a reformer, a loving wife, caring mother, motivator, and provider. Her life would make an amazing movie. One chapter of her book rivals all 457 pages of Barack's "Dreams of My Father".
Author Kaylene Johnson does a great job of painting the real Palin upon the pages of this biography. Palin does not know the meaning of the word "can't", and that is evident in her political decisions. She truly did take on the "good-ole-boys" network. Sarah ... Read More: |
