To make it short, it's a book Obama wrote when he was about 32. Some 14-15 years ago. To my surprise, it's more than readable. It's captivating. His writing is thoughtful, uninhibited, unafraid - zero cliches or slogans. The style is flawless, the prose is almost musical in quality. Overall, it's a pleasure to read.

I bought the book a couple of days ago because I was in this bookstore and the Obama Nation 10-pounders were on display, wall-to-wall. That reminded me that some Obamophobe at this site suggested that I read some of Obama's own works so I could really see that kind of man he really is. I thought that his first book would be best because he wrote it at a time when he wasn't a politician yet or not a national politician for sure. I expected some of that wooden tongue scripts that politicians usually produce but, so far, it's an eye-opener and an unexpected surprise. I recommend that everyone reads this. It may not turn you into an Obama supporter - and he didn't write this 15 years ago to gain supporters - but you will, almost guaranteed, get to better know one of the more interesting politicians of the day and maybe better appreciate what it is to grow up as a super-bright 'minority'.

I only read the first 2 chapters today because I am busy studying for some professional certification but, every time I take a break, I go back to Obama's for a few more pages.

SURVEY: Has anyone actually read this book? Is anyone else reading it?

Listen to some excerpts in Obama's own voice here.

Notice that the yahoo who put together this 'revealing' (oooh) 2.5 minutes of stuff, couldn't find more than 2 minutes (half a page?) of a 442-page book to reveal to the pea-brains who would claim deep understanding of this book after listening to the 2-minute, out of context clips - the stupid had to feel the remaining 30-seconds with musical sounds because he couldn't find anything else worth quoting or, maybe he got tired of all those words. I believed he crammed 5 or six 'quotations' in 2 the minutes.

So, let me ask you. Now, that you listened to this, do you claim or boast about your deep understanding of this book? I believe that you do but I'm asking, just to establish it as a known fact.

Point me out a post where I claim a "deep understanding" of the book.

Here's a hint: You'll find lots where I tell people to read it, but none where I claim a "deep understanding" of it.

Try elsewhere with your trolling.

Okay, so you don't have a deep understanding of this book but you encourage everyone to listen to this stupid 2-minute collection of clips. It's very bright.

Why do you think Obama is your personal Messiah? Why do you think he can do no wrong? Why do you defend the indefensible?

Just asking...

Why do you eat dog s__t for dinner? Why do elderly dwarfs make you horny? Why are you collecting used toilet paper from kindergarten bathrooms?

I thought I would ask. It is important that you clarify these important issues.

Are you dreaming this same wet dream every night, where you wake up just before the tip of your tongue is about to touch McCain's a-hole?
