Rick Buttafogo rated it it was amazing

This is a book to be read over time. From Obama’s Senatorial Election Night Speech in 2004 to his Farewell Presidential Speech on Jan 10, 2017. 
Thirteen years of speech’s from a man that for the most part wrote his own.
The intro is fantastic as it speaks to his senatorial career, his first two years as president, the 2008-2009 recession, his role regarding women’s rights and LGBTQ rights. 
His tackling of healthcare, Iraq and the war on terror, and the Republican insurgence from 2010-2016. 
Finally the intro concludes with Obama’s legacy on race and an evaluation of his presidency. 

While I was not a fan of Obama’s as I believed his stand in numerous policies was weak, I would be lying if I didn’t admit these last 4 years caused me to revisit the Obama years. 
This was the book for me. 
His speeches. His thoughts, his intelligence, in retrospect showed me what this country is lacking and is so desperately needed...leadership. 
Quality. Character. Intelligence. As the saying goes...you don’t know what you lost until it’s gone. I had to learn the hard way. (less)
