If you can’t read get the audio (he reads it and he wrote it himself). If you can’t buy it get it at the library.

Dreams from My Father is a good book too and very interesting because he wrote it and it is not political at all. It’s as if he had no inclination that he would be in public office, and he bears a lot.

LOL.  Much better…

Most of the political autobiographies I have skimmed didn’t do anything for me.

“I don’t have to read them.  I know intuitively what they say.  Reading them would be a waste of time.”  You are simply repeating yourself here - as wrongly as you stated initially.

“I am not cynical.  I’m skeptical.”

Nope.  A skeptic would say, “Most of the books I’ve read or heard about by politkcal types amount to the same thing…” instead of “they ALL amount to…” (emphasis mine).

You are a cynic, not a skeptic, no matter how much you protest to the contrary.

Peace.

Maani,
I am not cynical.  I’m skeptical.

Maani,

You’re not satisfied “judging a book by its cover”; you judge books by their writers and presumed content.  How on God’s great earth would you know that “They all amount to the same thing: ‘The world is so lucky I’m here’” if you don’t read them?  Would you provide a review of a movie you have not seen?  A restaurant you have not eaten in?

You really need to curb that cynicism.

Peace.

Every candidate for president feels obligated to put out a book now.  I have never been able to real a single one including Obama’s.  They all amount to the same thing: “The world is so lucky I’m here.”  How can people read that stuff.

I want to know what he says about Occidental College.  My mom and uncle went there.  I know Sean Hannity said that Obama said he signed up for classes taught by Marxist professors there.  lol

Excuse me, but why does something that sells fast sell “like hotcakes?”  I have never seen hotcakes sell all that fast.  Especially now, in a bad economy in which hotcakes are something of a luxury.  After all, fewer people can afford IHOP’s prices these days…
