Lisa Rogak does a thorough job showing the real Barack Obama in her book "Barack Obama in His Own Words." She includes many quotes from his campaign and others from various sources. I feel that a person's character is very crucial to how he performs his job so I enjoyed reading all his thoughts in one place. These quotes put together a vivid picture of who Obama is and what he believes about topics such as war, abortion, nuclear weapons, change, other presidents, etc I liked how she separated the book into sections for easy reference and a more concise description. I learned a lot about him as a politician but there are quotes about his family as well. This book is short and easy to read through. I recommend everyone read it to get to know your president better.
If you read it with an open mind I am sure you will enjoy it. If you are an Obama fan or one who is in the middle you will like this book.
The quotes are from speeches and are separated in categories such as The People, On Issues, On America, On Slip up's and others. Obama in His Own Words by Lisa Rogak is easy to read and very eye opening.
I felt he was being very honest and straightforward. I felt he spoke in a way that everyone could understand as well as being honest and believable.
I was particularly surprised on the section that contained his quotes on the slip up's in his life. If you are not an Obama fan you will simply pick this book and him apart.
I felt he did not try to cross talk or talk in a way that was deceptive but was honest and forth coming about his beliefs.
WITHOUT EVER DEFINING WHAT THE CHANGE WAS. And a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER shall lead them. Now that the honeymoon is over, it is clear to even the liberal element that this was a mistake and he is not what his campaign portrayed him. The most inexperienced and least qualified of all presidents. Never held office previously Was only a Junior Senator with little experience with the legislative branch Never proposed any substantial ideas or innovative bills Never a CEO or in an executive position Has proven to be a polarizing figure with radical, anti American; anti white associates Claims victory for anything positive, but STILL blames all mishaps on Bush (thats getting old) This man is now a US President; not because he is qualified, but because his PUBLIC RELATIONS campaign succeeded at pushing the mantra of change. If you want to discuss real change, take a look at a real president, like that of Ronald Reagan. There are some fine audio books (Reagan in his own words, Reagan Diaries), this is for the serious scholar; and sell the Obama book on ebay for a $1, that's all it's worth.
I was so please to read the writing of Presidents Barack Obama. He knew the challeges he would face running for the president of the United States of America. He stood fast and followed his dream. This faith in his heart and in my Heavenly Father, let all us know that we can achieve any thing possible if we only believe in ourselves.
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.
