in-sight to his presidency?

In the Audacity of Hope its the auto-biography on his political career, not of his whole life much to my displeasure but this is also interesting and something I think we should all read. We should get to know as much as possible of our presidents past, present to learn from our countries mistakes. I think that this book would give us a in-sight into how he may run the white house and how these next four years will turn out.
Right now in the book, Obama is talking about his new career into politics and he is just getting into the rythem of his new senate position schedule. He talks about all the things that are in his scheldule, but what jumped out at me was a small comment, he wanted to catch a flight home before the girls went to bed. Reading that I thought "He really cares about his family if one: he thought to do that and two: he would remember that and want to put that in his book, third: he puts so much into family, that I think that he will definitatly be thinking of our nations families and what they need/afford.

The Audacity of Hope.

Barack Obama wrote The Audacity of Hope, This book so far is unlike any other autobiography I have ever read because it is so straight forward on how he thought and acted on certain situations he also talks about what he did to try to make his ideas and goals come to life. This novel has a lot of voice and the reader can really understand the emotions that Obama went through, and the determination to succede.

One thing I think is interesting in this book is that it has a prologue and a epilogue. The prologue was just setting up for the whole book and what its about. What I got from it is that this book is based on the conversations that he has had with all of the people across the country about politics while campaining. The first chapter is "Republicans and Democrats" here he just talks about how America is very divided and that most people don't have time to worry about politics because there just trying to make ends meet, and what to do to change that.
