Barack Obama's second book, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming Reclaiming The American Dream, reveals his feelings and politics towards values, economics, poverty, ethics, education and the military- all just a few amongst many other pertinent issues discussed in the book.   Widely known for his community organizing efforts in the south-side of Chicago, Obama represents the 13 th district in Illinois, assuming the position after winning the 2004 senate race against Republican candidate Alan Keyes (author of Reclaiming America's Moral Destiny).  

Obama has distinguished himself as a prominent African American politician, for he possesses charisma and displays competency in an area where most politicians have a void.   Additionally, Obama has the ability to empathize with his constituents, rendering him highly qualified and effective: perfect attributes for one who could possibly ascend to the seat of the presidency in 2008.   Moreover, "The Audacity of Hope" speaks to those who have ever conceived of the idea of the American dream, and it forces one to examine their personal politics, while assessing the intricacies and integrity of U.S. politics.

 
I'll give the book 5 GeoGlobes.
