Product Description
No political figure in recent memory has generated the excitment that surrounds Barack Obama. This forty-six-year-old Senator's message of hope has galvanized a generation of new voters and breathed new life into American politics. Once considered a long shot, his inspiring speeches and disarming candor have made him a frontrunner in the 2008 presidential race.
Hopes and Dreams follows Obama's fascinating story beginning with his difficult childhood and struggles coming to terms with his heritage to his remarkable success in school - he was the first black president of teh Harvard Law Review - and his current desire to become leader of the free world. Along the way, readers will meet his friends and family, discover moments that shaped his life, and learn more about the man and his motivations.
Written by a leading journalist and filled with more than 140 photographs, this up-to-the moment biography gives an inside look at one of the most fascinationg figures in politicsm and quite possibly the next President of the United States.

 Who paid this man to produce this book? August 22, 2008
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!
How To Play The Race Card August 19, 2008
The title to this book should be, "How to Win Voters and Influence the Media by Playing the Race Card". Obama has a sonorous voice and a million dollar smile. He can read from a teleprompter the speeches written by others. But for his expertise in playing the race card, he would still be a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School. He is a de jure, but not a de facto American. He grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia. He neither knows nor shares American values. In their lust for the presidency, Democrats are willing to overlook these warning signs. Like the German industrialists in the 1930s who believed that they could control Hitler (another charismatic speaker and self-proclaimed messiah), the Democrats believe that they can control Obama. Like the German industrialists, they are wrong. Although Obama is bi-racial, he has chosen to allign himself with the Black Establishment. He will protect their interests at the expense of everyone else. Democratic voters are a lost cause. But independent voters should read this book in conjunction with Obama Nation and The Case Against Barack Obama. Weigh the evidence. Then decide whether whether to vote for him and his wife. Are independent voters willing to assume the risk of electing as President a man who, like Hitler, refuses to articulate the details of the "change" that he promises to bring to America?

The Audacity of Hope March 20, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is MUST reading for all Americans and will give the reader a thorough understanding of the Barack Obama the media is trying to convince us we know nothing about. He lays himself bare -- his life, his beliefs, his thoughts, his ambitions and his plans for a better America for all of its citizens. I doubt anyone with an open mind will come away from this book unconvinced that he is more than ready to be the President we need in 2008.
