The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama - Book Review:
The Audacity of Hope is an optimistic look at America. Obama uses the book to share his perspective on America's history, present situation, and the challenges the country must overcome in order to have a prosperous future. Throughout the book, Obama makes an effort to point out strengths and weaknesses in both parties' positions, although he admits upfront that as a Democrat his opinions will naturally fall more in line with liberal politics.

Indeed, for all Obama's peacemaking effort, many of the policy changes he champions in The Audacity of Hope sound like standard Democratic fare. He does, however, pull in from hardline rhetoric. His gracious, accommodating and hopeful tone provide a pleasant new package for ideas that may not be entirely original.

Despite the fact that The Audacity of Hope is not groundbreaking in its policy recommendations or comprehensive in its assessment of issues facing Americans, it is still a worthwhile read for anyone interested in learning more about Barack Obama and what he believes. After finishing the book, I felt as if I knew the man and what he hopes to accomplish in public office better. It was nice to have such a clear statement from the President of the United States.
