Product Description
Since delivering his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama has been hailed as the clear savior of not only the Democratic party, but of the integrity of American politics. Despite the fact that he burst onto the national scene seemingly overnight, his name recognition has grown by leaps and bounds ever since. Barack Obama in His Own Words, a book of quotes from the Illinois Senator, allows those who aren't as familiar with his politics to learn quickly where he stands on abortion, religion, AIDS, his critics, foreign policy, Iraq, the War on Terror, unemployment, gay marriage, and a host of other important issues facing America and the world.

 BaracK Obama September 8, 2008
This book holds the audience when you first pick it up. The color picture on the cover is what attracted me to the book. As you read through the book you can identify with him. It certainly holds your attendion because you feel as if he is speaking right to you. Yes, it is in his own words.
"Hear the Words of President Brack Obama" December 14, 2008
I was so please to read the writing of Presidents Barack Obama. He knew the challeges he would face running for the president of the United States of America. He stood fast and followed his dream. This faith in his heart and in my Heavenly Father, let all us know that we can achieve any thing possible if we only believe in ourselves.
Great Reading but be Careful. December 27, 2008
"Barack Obama in His Own words" can be a quite enlightening book on the current President-Elect of the USA. However, it is important, especially if you are not quite famiiar with the President-Elect's philosophy to acquire the the entire text from which quotes have been extracted. Sometimes quotes by themselves, not in contexts, can be misleading.
Some other books that make interesting readings are "Fluctuating Life" by Joshua Spencer (Available at Amazon.com), "Contemporary Issues, Science, Africa and More" by Joshua Spencer, "The Manley Memoir" by Beverley Manley and Quest for a Dream - A Life Committed to Progress" by Joyce Buchanan.

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" of many of his words given during his political career.
Our Next President??? May 9, 2007

This book gives further insights into Barack Obama, who may well be the next President of the United States.
It gives us glimpses into his thoughts and thinking processes, and into how great he is, how he is a Man with a capital M. How he may well be the one person able to bring all Americans together, overcoming anyone's personal prejudices, and rising to the heights that this great country was meant for.
It reads well, like his other two books.
Well done, Mr. Obama!
