I read this book and found it very well written. Articulate, thoughtful and interesting from start to finish. Even though many of the facts of this book are well known to most of us who lived it, it is still very gripping. The last two chapters are among the best. I would recommend it to anyone. Please do not judge the person of President Obama. This is a book review not a character judgement. You may not like his Presidency for whatever political leaning you may have but if you keep an open mind you will learn and understand. The Presidency is not a king position. Those who are critical due to many of Obama's "weaknesses" in making laws, have got to understand that laws are made in the US with equal support from the Congress and Senate. Both of these institutes were extremely hostile to Obama with the leader of the GOP (Mitch McConnell) even going so far as to say that his #1 priority was to make Obama a one term President and block him at every turn. With that in mind he still accomplished a lot. Read the book and you will understand. Thanks!
