Of all the books that deserve ALL multiple formats, it is this one! There needs to be a cassette tape version that is unabridged. There needs to be a cassette version that is abridged. There needs to be a CD version that is unabridged. Any version that would increase access to the reading public to this book should be done. Please, please, please, publishers, yes, there is a market!!!!

This book is a "spin" piece released well in advance of Obama's political career to lay the groundwork: the BS myth was already well in place when he decided to run.

Now we know the TRUTH: That he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii (two cases are now before the United States Supreme Court to decide his eligibility since he is not a natural-born citizen); he did not go to Harvard law school on "student loans" as he stated but rather his education was financed by a Saudi billionaire; geneaologists state that there is ZERO Cherokee in his bloodline; and on and on.

WHO is this man? WHAT is his real name, is it Barry Sotero? WHO is his daddy, was it really Malcolm X (the likeness is uncanny!)? These and other questions MUST be answered.

This man is a PHONY, a FRAUD, and a LIAR. If you fall for the BS in his book you are a moron. Rating: 2 / 5

HE IS NOT WHO YOU THINK HE IS - HE'S A MONSTER

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father:'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father:'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela

This was one of the most boring books that I have ever read! Obama’s writing is just like his “speaking”, Nothing Is Told In Any Real Order, You Feel Like You Are Going in A Big Circle…But Never Receiving A Complete “Answer”!

There Is Much About His “Life Story” That Is Left Out By Him, Or Whomever Really Wrote This Memoir! I Could Never Figure Out Where Barry Got His Money That Allowed Him To Travel All Over The United States And Throughout Other Countries, While Being Able To Attend Some Of The Finest Schools In America! What Really Convinced Him To Move from New York To Chicago To Accept A “Community Organizer” Job That Only Paid $1000 A Month??? Actually It Sounded As If He Really Did Not Preform His “Job” Very Well!

What Is Clear To Me Though Is The RACIST Side Of Obama Against WHITES, His Experimentation With DRUGS Like Crack Cocaine, And His Stated Learnings & Interests About Socialism, Marxism, and Communism!!

Too Bad More People Did Not Read This Book And Learn The Same Things About Him…Coz It Made Up My Mind That I Could Never Vote For Him!!!!! STILL TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS CHICAGO POLITICIAN!! I Am Very Concerned Now, About America’s Future!

Bill Ayers sure can write a good book. Some great fiction mixed with some nice platitudes that everyone can project on to – like the candidate himself.
