Default Dreams from My Father -Barack Obama

This is a really great book. I'm in the ninth chapter of the book and it is real personal and candid. Details his early life and his views on race in America.

I wonder who wrote it because, he has a difficult time expressing himself
when he speaks in public. He trys though.

So..


Good for him.

Um, I've see him participate in various public events and he's never had a problem..

I'm not sure what you thought you saw but i'd love to know what you're talking about.

p.s. it's "tries"

I picked up this book, as a Kenyan, mainly for what he had to say about his family ties and background etc.

I enjoyed it. It dragged in some places for me, but it was a decent read on the whole.
