"Dreams from My Father" is a must-read, no matter what you think about Obama's politics. This would be a wonderful book and memoir even if he weren't running for president. He is a wise observer of the human condition and is a more articulate person than we have ever seen running for office. Add to that a dash of lyricism and poetry in his observations. All those who say that they don't know what he's about because all they hear are slogans should read this book.
