The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama (2006, Hardcover)

I recently purchased the book, "The Audacity of Hope" by Barak Obama and it is one of the best political books ever written. I particularly like the way he reminisces about his childhood and all the diversity in his family. It shows the common man theme throughout. He makes you believe he is "one of the people"; which allows you to believe what he says as truth. He has a great idea of a future democracy that is based on the original ideas of our founding fathers. This book was purchased as a gift and since getting it three of our family and friends have requested information on where to get it. Some have even called dibs on reading it after we finished it. Barak Obama is the 21st century FDR. He wants to do away with racism and sterotyping and economic classification. He has great ideas and I hope he will be successful in his endeavor to make America a better place for our children and grandchildren. My favorite thing that he practices is every day he asks himself and his family "How can I be of service to someone today?" "How can I make life easier or better for someone else?". If we all thought like that the world would indeed be a better place. I highly recommend this book!
