February 16th-“The Audacity of Hope” by Barack Obama
Below are comments from the SCC Book Corner Meeting and on Febraury 16th 2009.
-
This book comes with a cute disclaimer. Obama tells readers that he does not have all the answers. He is merely taking a board look at policy issues in America, but at the same time he is revealing a part of himself.
- I love the moment when President Bush gave Obama advice about Washington. My favorite quote was “you’ve got a bright future,” said President Bush. He hitted the hammer on the head with that comment.
-
This book was more measured and cautious than his first book Dreams of My Father. The Audacity of Hope took me through a series on chapters about politics, faith, face, family, and an outline of what needs to change in America.

I enjoyed the history lesson in this book.
