Despite the fact that he burst onto the national scene seemingly overnight, his name recognition has grown by leaps and bounds ever since. Barack Obama in His Own Words, a book of quotes from the Illinois Senator, allows those who aren't as familiar with his politics to learn quickly where he stands on abortion, religion, AIDS, his critics, foreign policy, Iraq, the War on Terror, unemployment, gay marriage, and a host of other important issues facing America and the world. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Barack Obama in His own wordsBarack 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. Rating:  - Barbershop Jive TalkBarack Obama's ideas are barbershop jive talk.

As you read through the book you can identify with him. It certainly holds your attendion because you feel as if he is speaking right to you. Yes, it is in his own words. Rating: - Barack Obama in His Own WordsThis book is a good mirror into the thinking of Mr. Obama. Much of what is in the book is what he says on the campaign trail, which makes him a very credible candidate for President of the United States od America. Quotes are taken from printed and electronic media which gives one insight into his personal and political life. I would recommend this book if one wanted to have a "hard copy" of many of his words given during his political career. Rating:  - Not the best source for ObamaBarack Obama In His Own Words is interesting and would be useful as a research tool for anyone writing about Obama, but it is nowhere near as interesting as his own books, all of which are insightful and fascinating. |
