Gotta keep the Hate Alive! Er, I mean "Hope"

"Dreams from my Father" is the political memoir of up and coming American statesman, political guru, and all-around wunderkind Barack Obama. Or at least that's the official story.

Really, it's like the very words of God. Or at the very least the New Hip Happening Messiah, the one I can give a 10 to because I can dance to it. Truly, to be at an Obama rally, and touch the hem of His (Obama's) garment:imagine! Bliss.

Today we're not just about the Word made Flesh: we've witnessed the triumph of the Word over flesh. Forget the sixties, feeling good, and doing it: today if it sounds good, vote for it!

"Dreams" tells the gripping account of Obama's runaway Dad Mengibulu, who was trapped in Kenya by vicious Republican (white, duh) slavers and hauled in chains to America, where he was forced to pick cotton on a sprawling Georgia plantation owned by Newt Gingrich.

Spirited away from a vicious lynching at the hands of Ronald Reagan and Charleton Heston, Mengibulu Obama shot his way out of their clutches with Weather Underground leader Bill Ayres, and fled via Harriet Tubman's underground railround to Selma, Alabama, where, minutes too late to foil James Earl Ray's assassination attempt, he cradled Dr. Martin Luther King's body in his hands while simultaneously fathering Barack. He was also a good friend of Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass, and helped inspire them in their own efforts to help America, a country then (as it is now) full of broken souls.

Words fail me. Just opening this book is a little like dying (of something wonderful!), seeing visions of puppies and little kitty cats and sweet mountain valleys, and then waking up in a Heaven full of Barack Obamas (which is redundant). Tears of joy are flowing down my cheeks as I type these words.

There's really very little else this (limited, white, bitter, mortal) reviewer can add to the words of such an intellectual and moral giant, other than " Amen", or very possibly "Hallelujah". Or maybe "Allahu Akhbar" might be more appropriate, in this case.

I conclude the review of this great work---easily on par with the Bible or any of dead white Euro male Will Shakespeare (who can compare the bard of Stratford upon Avon with the Bard of Chicago on Lakeshore, baby, huh?)---with this ode to white middle Americans of Flyover America, those Obama (peace be unto him) in San Fran the other day, sung to the tune of Michael Buble's old lounge standard "Try a Little Tenderness":

Whiteys get weary, yeah, they get bitter
wearing the same old dress
But when they're weary, try a little tenderness.
They grab that bible, and that rifle,
clutching it to their chest
But when they're bitter, try a little Tenderness.

Well worth reading!

Barack Obama's first book, though autobiographical, reads like a novel. I wanted to know what makes this man tick, and this book painted a straightforward and fascinating picture. After having been the first black President of Harvard Law Review, Obama wrote this book the year following his graduation from law school. Though I can't afford the signed, limited edition, I'm buying a another paperback to send to my Mom. It's a great way to learn a great deal about what's behind this remarkable, historic figure who has drawn millions of people -- young and old, men and women, all races, even all over the world. Next, I'm going to read Audacity of Hope!!
