Editorial Reviews

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Out of context quotes, June 26, 2007
By Michelle (Hagerstown, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barack Obama in His Own Words (Paperback)
This book is a collection of quotes taken from various speeches and comments made by Barak Obama. While it is informative in some ways, I hesitate to accept quotes that are taken from a larger text, interview, or speech simply because the context is missing. When a quote is taken out of a larger whole, sometimes the meaning can be misconstrued. If you are already strongly familiar with Obama, this book probably tells you things that you already know. If you are not, it is a good idea to read other books as well as transcripts of Obama's speeches so that you can form your own opinions as to how these comments should be taken. For real insight into Barak Obama, I suggest that you read "Dreams From My Father."

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best source for Obama, February 22, 2008
By Michael St John (Berkeley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Barack Obama In His Own Words is interesting and would be useful as a research tool for anyone writing about Obama, but it is nowhere near as interesting as his own books, all of which are insightful and fascinating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Barack Obama in His own words, October 4, 2008
By Daphne Innes (Ronnert Park, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Barack Obama in his own words.
This was helpful as a quick guide to see where he had stood, using exerpts from prior interviews.
It is the sort of thing you want to take with you when riding the train or bus. Nothing in depth.
