This is a good book to read if you have not been keeping up with Barack Obama's plans for when he gets into the White House. He has many plans that in my opinion sounds like good ideas. However, this book does not go into detail of how all these plans will work out. He talks about cutting this and giving money for that but, I really would like to see where the money for all his plans is coming from. And how come we got or can get all this money during the current state the US economy is in. This...
'Change We Can Believe In' was a really eye opening read into the manifesto of President Barack Obama. It is an intensive read but worth it. I especially loved President Barack Obama's ideas about how education should be given top priority for a country to develop. I was glad to see that most of what was contained in the manifesto was fulfilled by Obama during his two terms as the President of the USA. His views on lobbyists, Congress, tax cuts, education, energy production along with it's manag...
If we're using ratings, I would say that Obama ran a 5-star campaign and has so far been a 3-star president. I appreciate his calmness, his openness, and not in comparison to Bush because we as a country have far more to do than simply make up for 2000-2008: we now have an opportunity to change economic and political systems that continually brings us cycles of poverty and war. The book itself, while having its moments of specificity and inspiration, is still frustrating. A lot of numbers are th...
I arrived home from work today and found this book in my mailbox. I walked into my home, sat down, and read it in its entirety. It is rare that I consume a book so completely without pause.As with any all encompassing policy proposal there will be items that you completely agree with and others that you would want to see some alterations to before being implemented. But, when read in the light (or shadows) of the last eight years under the Bush administration, Obama's vision is a breath of fresh...
The one thing I loved about this book is that it legitimately undermined anyone who criticized Obama for lack of providing specifics. Who is the last presidential candidate who released a book during a campaign that laid out most of his positions with modest intellectual support for why he thinks the way he/she does? Has anyone ever done it?What stuck out to me most is that there is actually some social and historical analysis here. It may be light but it is a breath of fresh air when you're use...
I cannot fault the book, it's just outdated material.
Not a fan. I listened to this book after listening to Obama's, "The Audacity of Hope." I will say, this book was a big let down after hearing Mr. President read his own book. The words are more convincing when you hear it from the horse's mouth.
I appreciated that Barack laid out his plan for moving the US forward. I listened to each section multiple times to make sure I understood it, whether or not I agreed.
Change We Can Believe In outlines Barack Obama's vision for America.This trade sized paperback is just 288 pages, but inside the pages you will read about specific ideas about how to fix our ailing economy and strengthen the middle class, make health care affordable for all, achieve energy independence, and keep America safe in a dangerous world. They writing is clear and succinct. I especially enjoyed reading his speeches, as it has been many months since I first heard some of them. The eloquen...
I confess, I couldn't finish reading this. It was really boring. In fairness, I'm not an Obama fan, but I thought this book might help me understand him better. It's mostly a summary of many of Obamas speaches. Most of it is just words with no meaning. Ideals without ideas. And the few things that he said that sounded like great ideas that I would actually get behind, are things that once in office he has done the opposit of the idea he put forth in his speach. So instead of understanding him be...
Outlines what the heck he's gonna do as President. I like clear cut answers and plans! Obama 08!
Trump is change I can believe in. Buy "Art of the Deal" instead.
Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise set on my shelves in my reading stacks for approximately a decade before I finally read it. It's interesting to read it now that Barack Obama has served two terms as President of the United States. The successes, failures, and compromises of his presidency are all highlighted by reading this plan filled with hope, unifying ideas, and calls for working together. Reading it also reminded me of my own cynicism and how importan...
In the beginning we see that Obama wants the war in Iraq to come to an end, which was the central front. 1. The campaign position of Obama is outlined just like any great leader. The book does not have any news in the first portion. It more or less just like a speech. Obama focuses on praising his campaign staffs for their support.2. In the second portion of the book contains all of Obama’s speeches. According to me the perfect union given in Philadelphia and his Father’s Day Speech in Chicago a...
