Has any one read Dreams From My Father written by Barack Obama?

Publication date 1995 where he tell of his life . In this lyrical,

unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth

than as a man—has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya , where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life, he also tell of his life of alcohol and drugs and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.

    It was on the New York Times best seller list, so people have read it. I am sure you can get a copy on Amazon or Barnes and Nobel

    I haven't read it. Why would they pull it from the library? I hope they are not censoring books.

    Anyway, it is available on Amazon.com. There are some low priced copies, probably used, from some independent sellers.

    I like Amazon much better than ebay.

    It sounds like a great book.

  • I've read both of his books. That's all I am going to say about that.

    I've read enough of it to see just how racist Obama is.

    All his "father" did was pop some sperm in his atheist Mom, and left.

    Yes. I have read it. I suggest you look it up on Amazon. They probably have a lot of reviews and other info.
