 - Inspiring & Amazing. How lucky we are to have him as our next President.I chose to get this version of Obama's two books because he's such a gifted speaker I enjoyed the idea of hearing Obama read his words as only he could do. There are those who argue we don't know enough about Obama. Well if they had taken the time to read or listen to these two books they will get a very clear idea of just who Obama is and what his vision is for this country. Obama is a real man. This is someone who has lived an amazing cultured life in a modest up bringing who has the core values of what many look for in a leader. His story is a true American story. It's an amazing journey that will inspire and put to ease if you had any doubt that this man is ready to lead and will be an exceptional President. The first book in this audio collection "Dreams from my Father" goes in depth about what it was like for Obama growing up as a child and becoming the man he is today. It's candid and very honest. It will comfort many to find that Obama is just like one of us in many ways no matter your gender, color or religious background. I also mean by "one of us" those of "us" who were not born into privilege. Those of "us" who have come from nothing and had to work hard to get to where we are. This is also for those who are looking for inspiration that anything is possible no matter the barriers that they may be faced with in the real world. It speaks to everyone and you can't help but come away from hearing this story unfold a better person and very inspired. The second book goes deep into the political process and all the pros and cons of all that it encompasses. It will provide fantastic insight for those who are curious about what type of leader Obama will be and the change he will be bringing to Washington. I feel 100% confident that Obama will be an exceptional President. We have not had many Presidents like this in our history. This is a great time to be alive and a great time to be an American. Times are tough as a write this review but I feel that having Obama at the helm that our country will no doubt pull itself out of the hole and the world will be a better place because of the leadership that Obama will bring to Washington that is much needed. Rating:  - Was entertaining & informative. Especially now as he misquotes himself and changes his view. It is a book worth reading, if you are interested in this man. It's all we have on him for info, and it's a wonderful portrayal of himself, by himself. He contradicts himself over and over in the near future, this book may of done more bad than good in the end. Much like he will, in the end. Very captivating words though. Easy to get on board, if you had no ties to a ship before! Love it. Rating: - WONDERFULI have read his book reviews, but there is nothing like HEARING Obama's voice. To "babysue"; what has Obama done to you personally? I've checked out everything you have reviewed and each and every one of your reviews were bashing Obama. You exhibit PURE HATE. It's one thing to disagree with a person's personal opinions/views, but to bash and hate is a bit too much and unnecessary. My God, I hope you are not a teacher at any level, but especially early education. I think you are a great example of what happens when hate is taught. Rating: - Fascinating SetThis CD set provides a remarkable and powerful insight into the man who is running for President of the United States. Hearing the written words in his own voice is a fascinating way to learn more about Barack Obama. I highly recommend this set for anyone who wants to capture the history of this election on CD and also enjoys listening to books as an alternative to reading for long trips in the car, etc. Rating: - Great companion readingThese audio books make for informative and pleasant listening while I am driving,working around the house or walking around my neighborhood. Barack Obama's narration is clear, interesting and expressive. I would recommend it to anyone.
