Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Of mixed race and cultures, Barack Obama struggled for years with his identity and place in society. Having found his niche in public service, he has made history as the fifth African American U.S. senator ever to be elected. Now “the skinny kid” continues his political journey and strives to become the nation’s first black president. From Hawaii to Chicago to Washington, D.C., Senator Obama’s life has been interesting and inspiring.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - What I think about Obama
Some may say that racism is my problem, but think again.
If Barak Obama was not so liberal, but rather a conservative, who wanted to put prayer and christianity back in schools, and out law homosexuality everywhere, outlaw abortion, and not be the communist that he is, I would most certainly vote for him. It's not the color of his skin that bothers me but the fact that he is a major communist who will lead our nation straight into the pits of hell!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A great introduction to Barack Obama for older children.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Children's Biography
This is a good children's biography of Barack Obama. Most facts seem to be taken from his autobiographies. It contains good information and is great for kids.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Barack Obama is the 21st Century Reincarnation of 20th Century Black Racist Rap Brown
This is not a children's book. It is a work of propaganda. It should be titled, "How to Win Voters and Influence the Media By Playing the Race Card".
1. Obama's only real-world experience during his legal and political career is playing the race card. But for the race card, he would still be a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School. He has no experience whatever as an executive, manager, or trial atorney. As president his total lack of executive experience would damage America the same ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book
