1.0 out of 5 stars Obama didn't write this book, May 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Plan: Barack Obama's Promise to America and His Plan for the Economy, Iraq, Healthcare, and More (Paperback)
This book was a big let down. I wanted something that was written by the president, but instead this book was a collection speeches that he has said about these topics. Then after every speech someone else writes a dumbed down version of what the speech was about. They even refer to the president in the third person saying things like, "President Obama says..." Or, "what the president means..."
If you want a collection of speeches that the president didn't write in a book that wasn't written by the president then this book is for you. If you want something that was actually written by the president look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Plan, March 25, 2009
This review is from: The Plan: Barack Obama's Promise to America and His Plan for the Economy, Iraq, Healthcare, and More (Paperback)
"The Plan" is an outstanding detail of Barack Obama's policy proposals. The information is presented in a very straightforward way that is easy to understand and not bogged down with rhetoric. Each section describes his plans a goals for a particular issue, then the specifics are presented with bullet points and short paragraphs that make it easy to read and glance through.

It's really nice to have a book that lays out the policies of the sitting presidents, and it's interesting to note some of the areas where he is already making head-way and delivering on those promises. For example, the healthcare fund that he has already secured money for and the green car initiative for government owned vehicles.

If there was a way to put this book on the coffee tables of homes throughout the country, we would have a better chance of holding him and the congress to these commitments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable Resource, April 13, 2009
This review is from: The Plan: Barack Obama's Promise to America and His Plan for the Economy, Iraq, Healthcare, and More (Paperback)
Now that the campaign is over, the conventions are done, the speeches that brought us to tears and rallied our country are fewer, Barack Obama must begin to meet the challenges our country faces in real way that involves so much more than inspiration alone.

For anyone who thought Obama was all talk and no substance, this book will set them straight. It discloses all of the plans and the agenda Obama wants to put forth for the country. Instead of a book of speeches, this is a book of well thought-out plans and policies. It's a quick and easy read of what we can look forward to in this president.

It's broken down into four sections:
Section 1- Restoring the Economy and Meeting Our National Obligations
a. Detailed outline of the Economic plan
b. Taxes and Tax Cuts
c. Fiscal Policy and the Deficit
d. Energy and the Environment
e. Science and Technology

Section 2- Improving the Lives of Americans
a. Healthcare
b. Education
c. Family and Women
d. Social Security and Medicare

Section 3- Protecting the Nation and Restoring American Values
a. Iraq
b. Nuclear Threats and Terrorism
c. Foreign Policy
d. Homeland Security
e. Defense

Section 4- Improving Our Communities
a. Veterans
b. Civil Rights
c. Poverty
d. Rural and Urban Planning
e. Community Service
f. Disabilities
g. Immigration
