When I saw `Obama, In his Words: pre-election' I hoped to find out what he was thinking and saying before he started running for president. However, the book appears to be a collection of statements made during his campaign speeches. There are many good thoughts on these pages. The words talk to things that people want to hear. However, that is the nature of campaign speeches they tell you what you want to hear and not necessarily what the individual really believes and acts upon. I would have preferred to have heard about what he was saying before he was trying to make everybody happy.

This book gives a good sample of the statements made during his campaign. It remains to be seen as to how much of what he said during his campaign he follows through with during his presidency. The first quote in the book `a-good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.' is a good example. Most of the legislation in his first 9 months of office does not fit that quote. Most of the legislation so far has people are still trying to figure out what the legislation actually says or does months after it has been passed.

Tuchy Palmieri has done a good job of grouping the various statements into categories so we can easily find out what Obama has stated in a specific area. In general the book is a good reminder of what the president has said he is in favor of while he was trying to get votes. It give us a place to start evaluating how well he is implementing those words while president so we can see if we should trust him in the future.

I must admit that I have always been a little unbelieving of Obama. After reading this book I have changed my mind. If you are looking for a one stop place to learn about our president than this is the book you must read. Palmieri's book of quotes hits on every issue the president has ever spoken about. I understood alot more about his reasonings for certain actions after reading this book. A real eye opener.
