About the book

Obama first captured America's attention with his keynote address to the Democratic National Convention in 2004. Now, Obama's superb and captivating oratory style has earned him comparisons to John F. Kennedy and even Martin Luther King. He speaks on themes of race, identity, community and his hoped-for vision of America. His legions of supporters gravitate towards his unblemished idealism. Here, Olive explores Obama's controversies, anti-war stance, Christian faith and his racially-charged remarks.
