Reply To: Political Statements
@JoAnn: I’m sorry if I was curt. Both of Obama’s books are pretty quick reads, and while they are certainly biased in being written by the man himself, they lay a good foundation for his biography, if not his motivations. I find it encouraging that there haven’t been any objections (AFAIK) to the content in either book. Also, Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review and served three two-year terms as an Illinois state senator.
@Shruti: Rev. Wright is the guy who inspired Obama to become a Christian. There was something of a “common goal” to the relationship, but Obama does not give the impression that he joined the church just to help out the community. He’s a genuine convert. That being said, I was surprised by how little mention Rev. Wright got in the book.
