Dreams from My Father — 

This guy really knows how to push all the emotional buttons. Dreams from My Father? Give me a break. Does he mean the father who the Kennedy's personally sponsored to come to America? The father who herded sheep in Africa? The father who married a "white girl from Kansas" and then left when their baby was two years old, never to be heard from again? The father that he never knew?

Whatever values Barack learned from his father are not the values we need in the President of the United States. And the only dreams he has are rising to the top of his political profession, by whatever means he can employ to get there.

I will admit to one error though - his father herded goats, not sheep. Obama herds sheep.

Let me rephrase my last comment. It should have read:

My political views did not affect my review any more than the news media's political views affect their "reporting".

(And besides, one need only read the title of the book to know it is just more propaganda by the master himself.)

And your political views had nothing to do with a negative review?
