Barack’s books
For my 60th birthday, I received lots of books. I started by reading the two written by the Democratic candidate for the White House Barack Obama: “Dreams Of My Father” [my review here] and, the one I have just finished, “The Audacity Of Hope” [my review here].
I have been blogging about Barack Obama for more than four years – see this posting. When he ran for the Senate, I did 11 postings; in his race to be President, I’ve already done 53 postings.
Truly I think this man is remarkable and his books only confirm my faith in him. In his second book, he captures what people feel about him when he writes:
“And sometimes someone will grab my hand and tell me that they have great hopes for me, but that they are worried that Washington is going to change me and I will end up just like all the rest of the people in power. Please stay who you are, they will say to me. Please don’t disappoint us.”
Please don’t disappoint me.
