Book Description

October 4, 2006
This "nimble" book provides a pithy, funny, almost schizophrenic examination of all the arguments that I can think of, pro and con, on the subject of Senator Barack Obama's suitability for the office of President. My promise to you is that no matter how much you already know about Obama, this book will present you with new information and new perspectives.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Read this book if ...
* You are interested in who will be President in 2008.
* You are a Democrat.
* You are a Republican.
* You are an independent.

Don't bother if ...
* You don't care what goes on in the world around you.
* You already know what you think.

From the Author

Strongly partisan readers from either party may find it objectionable to be confronted with arguments both for and against a Democratic candidate for President. If that bothers you, tune out the ones that you disagree with, and learn from the ones that you agree with. In this era of bitter partisanship, it is well to remember that there are many sides to most issues.

Careful readers may feel that some of my arguments are more plausible than others. I'll let you in on a little secret: I feel the same way. But you'll have to read between the lines to find out where I come out on the fundamental question, Should Barack Obama Be President?

This has been fun to write, and I think most people will learn a few things from it. Bear in mind that this is an experiment. Read the book, then tell me how you liked it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Should Barack Obama Be President?, December 15, 2008
This review is from: Should Barack Obama Be President? DREAMS FROM MY FATHER, AUDACITY OF HOPE, ... Obama in '08? (Paperback)
Disappointing. Information wasn't very current and didn't provide a better perspective than the media during the campaign.

The book was a bit convoluted at times, but I did get some new information. I like the online updates option.
