My President

[sheshe2]

Time's President Obama: The Road to the White House is my favorite commemorative book about Barack Obama. It combines photographs with essays about Obama that were published in Time over the past several years. The combination provides a striking look at how Obama won the Presidency in 2008. President Obama: The Road to the White House is well organized, beautifully written (by several authors) and a keepsake for any admirer of the 44th President of the United States.



The American Journey of Barack Obama is a collection of photographs and essays by a variety of people, compiled by the editors of Life magazine. Unlike other commemorative photo books about Obama, this book focuses less on his run for President in 2008 and more on his family and personal history. I love that The American Journey of Barack Obama contains class photos from elementary school and more wedding photos than other books on Obama. I like seeing those kind of things. If you do too, you'll like this book.

5. Ah so..

I googled it and went to this site that said PBO was the 44th President and if he won he would be the 45th so I just ran with it.

Thanks for the correction, grant.

11. Love the RFK quote

Since it applies so well to issues before us in GD, for instance, I hope you don't mind if I swiftly use it as a PS on my latest post elsewhere.

14. No problem.

RFK was quite an inspiration to us all.

8. I posted it on JohnLucas' encouraging thread when so many were down in the dumps from fake polls.

Grantcart researched and posted about one firm cited on mainstream media and outted them. IIRC, it was a teabagger grifter outfit, but *oohed and awed* over as if it was the gospel truth.

Note the *Really, we're pretty sure this time at the bottom of the TIME magazine cover. Loved that.

9. I loved it too!

Great picture of the President too!

10. Can't wait to get my mitts on this book

Now I know what I want to give myself for my birthday! Or at least this year's Christmas present.
