Not at all. I do own Obama's book, Audacity of Hope, and I read the whole thing in an attempt to figure out what makes the man tick, before the election. If you want a review, first of all the title is dumb, childish, and the text of the book has been written to sandwich every issue with a back and forth from all political sides without actually taking much of a stand on anything. I found the book to be alot of todo about nothing, in fact Obama takes great pains to try to stay aloof as the ultimate arbitor of every issue, trying to look unbiased, but he never says anything in the book that tells us in no uncertain terms where he stands and what he believes. My conclusion was that he did not want to say anything about what he really thinks because he knows that people would not receive it well, so the book tells us nothing. But maybe that fits an empty suit of a president or somebody that is trying to fool everyone.
And I have not gotten Palins book, nor have I read it. I might sometime, at the appropriate time. But the difference with Palin is that I already know where she stands, she is pro business, pro capitalism, pro free enterprise, pro liberty, pro personal freedom and responsibility, pro energy development, pro common sense. I don't have to read her book to already know that. I could listen to Obama for hours without him telling us anything, thats the difference. So I read his book, but he still didn't tell us much, but I think I have the guy pegged pretty well now.
