    <body><![CDATA[Excellent overview of Obama's (lack of) change political career.  All of the &quot;change&quot; he advocates is in stark contrast to his brief policitcal career.  The book highlights many opportunities he had to evoke change at all ranks of his political career.  In almost every case, Obama has voted &quot;present&quot; (equivalent to &quot;no&quot;) or has voted along party lines.  The book does not attack Obama as a person but rather serves to highlight the hipocrisy of his presedential campaign and his convenient lack of admission to voting party lines in &quot;Audacity of Hope.&quot;  The book also questions the &quot;blind faith&quot; and &quot;celebrity&quot; mentality most people have when it comes to Obama.  He has never said anything of substance yet people cling to his every word and cry when they hear him speak.  Don't believe the hype...]]></body>
