It’s official! Since we are heading into the 2008 presidential elections, a good way to kickoff some knowledge of one our presidential candidates is to understand his key positions and who he is as a man (and a mighty fine one at that–yummy!) This will be the very first book of the Colored Girls Group Book Club!

Book Overview

Amazon.com
Barack Obama’s first book, Dreams from My Father, was a compelling and moving memoir focusing on personal issues of race, identity, and community. With his second book The Audacity of Hope, Obama engages themes raised in his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, shares personal views on faith and values and offers a vision of the future that involves repairing a “political process that is broken” and restoring a government that has fallen out of touch with the people.
