“
Alles in allem ein sehr interessanter Einblick in Obamas Ansichten und wie er Politik macht oder machen will. Stellenweise sehr persönlich, macht ihn sehr sympathisch. Manchmal nimmt sein Überschwang über Amerika etwas Überhand (Amerika ist das beste und das tollste Land auf der ganzen Welt!) und das macht es für einen Nicht-Amerikaner manchmal etwas... naja, schwer zu lesen. Aber wenn man etwas mehr über den Mann wissen will, der jetzt die Weltmacht Amerika führt, dann ist man mit diesem Buch definitiv gut aufgehoben. ”

• Rated 4 stars

“One of the more sincere books written by a politician in the 21st century. Tells a lot about the American history, culture, values of the people and the society, the pressing problems facing modern day America and suggests guidelines to improve the life of an average American, with a special focus on the lives of the minorities.

“why i voted for obama, and still have hope in politics. this book definitely moderated my view of politics (from right to left), as obama digs his own party at times while showing the other side has valid points as well. i think that is a quality - being able to recognize the weaknesses of your own beliefs, recognize the strengths of your opponents views, while not ascribing bad intentions to either. ”

“I think it was an excellent book, this guy paid his dues to reach the office of the president of the united states. He is probably the best US president I have seen in the 21st century. I am a young adult so I am not saying that there were not good presidents before, I am just saying what I see as a young person, after viewing George Bush.”

• Rated 5 stars

“I love how he thinks. He's a pragmatist with visionary scope who hasn't fallen prey to cynicism. And he isn't just paying lip service to his belief in the value of education.”
