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.

Some, despite having spent their Internet life learning that both parties reek, feel a need to support one branch over the other. When one buys that paradigm, they therefore need to identify anyone who disagrees with them as a member of the opposite party. How very, very ignorant.

Well, my take is this.

American "voters" have made their choice, they want a bigger government, endless war is ok as long as they do not have to go and untold allegiance to Israel is fine with them.

These "voters" have selected McKooK and Obummer, both paid their dues at the Whining Wall in Israel. Therefore vast bows down in all due reverence to his selected Messiah. Replace Obummer with Ron Paul and Vast would be on his knees for McKooK. Whatever Tel Aviv says is ok with Vast.

The pressures to convert ANY elected politician are enormous beyond belief. I happen to have some understanding on how these things work, at all levels because I've been betrayed myself by someone whom sometimes I viewed as a friend but who chose to 'play ball' instead. I can't say that I know of anyone who preserved his purity while playing the game of politics.

On the continuum, you have those who decided to 'play ball' before they even started playing. McCain, of the Keating Five is one of them. He's been assimilated 20 or 25 years ago if not earlier. In the middle, you have the vast majority who run for office hoping to do some good and get swallowed and assimilated - little Dr. Faustus types, selling their souls in exchange for something they thought was worth the exchange, then caught in the web and damned forever. Obama is one of the few who didn't sell out completely. He clearly does 'play ball' on many levels but he still has some purity and dignity left in him. Not a lot but enough to make him stand up head and shoulders above the insane, senile crook McCain.

You have some knack for comedic writing.

Now that is a real knee slapper.

Read the coarse vulgar language of this Harvard graduate and show me "purity" or "dignity".

I have read more than enough of Obama's stupid bs to last any reasonable man a lifetime. Wouldn't give a nickel to buy a book that contains every word the nut has ever uttered. And I wasn't the one who said he had any "purity" or "dignity" because I don't think he would even know what those words mean.

I should have noted I was quoting Mr. vast one of Obamas worshippers.

Now we know from whence come the untold millions that have poured into his coffers.

Not from Mom and Pop Black, but rather from knee padding, white guilters.

James...

Obummer is on course to haul in a HALF BILLION dollars.

That goes beyond obscene and the partisans see nothing wrong with the system.

If Obama wins, the McKooK people will blame us. If McKooK wins the Obama people will blame us and call us racists.

Again, no matter which loser wins, we lose.

Yeah, and America loses. Not that any of the partisans for either of those stooges seem to care.
