How did he think he could get away with taking campaign contributions from foreign sources or Monica for that matter, why did he expend so much political capital on the DADT policy in the beginning of his administration, why did he tell Gennifer Flowers that Cuomo looked like a mafioso when she badmouthed him, etc. etc.
I will be more interested in reading what Obama has to say 5 years from now when he writes the autobiography of his presidency. Let`s hope he comes cleaner than Slick Willie.

I read it and enjoyed it although I liked Dreams From My Father more. But I think that for the people who are having a tough time with it, it is not because they have a short attention span. It is probably more likely that it just isn't the right book for them. I could be considered to have a short attention span when I read a book that doesn't engage me, and that would be a false assumption.


I did not have any problems reading this book, however, Dreams of my Father is, I think, a better book for those of you who are having a challenge getting through The Audacity of Hope.

That said, it did take me a long, long time to get through this one as well. I had to take a break before starting up again.
