Book Reviews of The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream (Vintage)

Book Review: A Balanced Approach To The Issues Facing Americans
Summary: 5 Stars

Unlike most other books by politicians, this one was not penned with the help of a "ghostwriter" but by Obama himself. This is especially impressive considering what a well written book it is. Barak devotes chapters to topics such as faith, race and the international community, while outlining the political objectives he would seek to achieve as president.

As a dedicated liberal, I would have preferred stronger language on issues like universal health care and the environment. But Obama demonstrates himself to have an extraordinarily balanced mind. So perhaps his approach will be the most successful in being able to end partisan bickering and enact meaningful legislation to improve the state of the nation and bring Americans together.

This is perhaps the most important presidential election in recent memory. So I would encourage everyone to get out and vote. Of course, my vote will be going for Obama.
