Obamamania Revisited
I just had a very interesting exchange over the blogsphere with my good friend, Maha, a fellow Brown graduate, who is an argent Hillary supporter and is still not sold on Obama. See her posts and my comments here.
Staying with the topic, I hope all readers of this blog who still have doubts about Obama's substance to read his first memoir, "Dreams from My Father," which I am about to finish very soon. It is an authentic and unfiltered look at Obama, whic h you rarely get these days with the media surrounding him 24/7, each with a hidden agenda of its own. It is an easy read that is very well-writtened, and will give you a good look at the struggles that he has had and his incredible ability to bring people together, make good judgment and tough decisions in the face of challenges.
I look forward to more exchanges on this topic and will hopefully bring everyone some juicy inside take as I begin my work for the campaign.

More authentic? Maybe. Although this word is hardly not followed by a question mark in the political world.
But at least his stories seem to resonates with some readers like you, who probably share part of similar experiences in life: struggled, made efforts, faced challenge, and received inspiration.
It's a good book to recommend.
