A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't Win by Shelby Steele Summary and Reviews
Book Reviews of A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't WinBook Review: Wordy and WrongMr. Steele probably wrote this book two years ago. It was published a year ago. It is fascinating to see how the political landscape changed over that period of time. With hindsight we know that Mr. Steele's premise was wrong but it might be insightful to see how he came to the wrong conclusion with a certain number of facts and opinions. It would be if he had written a better book. The book is wordy and annoying. Mr. Steele clearly feels an affinity for Obama's background but was clueless about the team with which Obama surrounded himself, not to mention Obama's sensibilities and unique charisma. The result is a book that is now a historic relic. |
