why are u such a hater??? Obama isn’t going anywhere. Weather or not the book was rewritten it still became a best seller and it still inspires many people today. I would like to see you do the same. I read through the whole thing and so did my mother, sister, and brother in law. Just because you weren’t educated enough to keep up with what was going on, doesn’t mean you have the rights to create false statistics on who read the book and who didn’t. To Leia yes he did go to Harvard Law and mad the Harvard Law Review, he also attended Columbia another Ivy League. Now can you say the same?

As a world traveler and World Geography teacher, I would say his description of Kenyan society rings authentic but only superficial depth and insights (soul) are shown; nevertheless, it does follow some of the style precepts suggested by the “New Journalism” preached at me at the Univ. of Iowa, which discouraged the writer from forming conclusions, just reporting intimately on things that happened.

The wife got through it all right, and will be presenting it for an educators’ workshop later in the month. She’s a black Houstonian with a Masters’ in Education; she got through it with no problem after quitting the companion book on Hillary Clinton (”Living History”) at pg. 74. Talk about “plodding!”

What the entire column and subsequent posts miss is a discussion on the primary issue, the one of “identity.” Barack is vague about this as I would expect him to be considering the military brats I’ve known. Children exposed to that many environments and situations often retain a sense of “disconnect”, not all of it having to do with race. Our discussions focused on our interracial experiences–some negative, most neutral–and found no reason to dismiss Barack’s self-explorations as invalid or insincere.

Awk! I’m an editor by trade and my red pen would be all over this stuff…why can’t he just put a readable sentence together? Why do we have to continually go back and reread to figure out what he’s trying to say? This guy went to Harvard? He made Law Review?

I don’t know what the reviews said but mine would have proclaimed “A plodding, difficult tread… excruciatingly self indulgent.”

Obama is right. HRC and McCain? Well. As Professor Mankiw reports:. Yesterday I was on the NewsHour to talk about the gas tax holiday. I asked if there was another guest and the producer said, “We tried, but we couldn’t find anyone to ……

Lady, do you know what remaindered means? No one is suggesting the edition is not to be found- what Greg is promoting is that you compare the passages between that edition, and the 2004. We are just curious, if you will find the above quotes.

Aint no conspiracy here. Just reasonable questions. Maybe you should read the book, before getting exited?

Sheesh. Get a grip. You can find the original version of “Dreams from My Father” in countless places. I know that the University of Chicago has several copies in its library and so does Columbia University, his alma mater. You can even find it on Ebay if you are willing to pay enough. Not to mention, of course, that the publisher certainly has the original book. This is the dumbest conspiracy ever.
