It is a classic story of the American dream made real: an impoverished Kenyan goatherd rising to become a brilliant Harvard-educated economist.
On the way he fights racial prejudice at home and corruption at work, survives the heartbreak of a broken relationship and, despite it all, leads the fight to rid Africa of its colonial legacy.
This extraordinary story is told by US Presidential hopeful Barack Obama as he recalls the life of the man who inspired him to political success - his father.
Mr Obama's book, Dreams From My Father, is flying off the shelves of US book stores, exciting and astonishing readers in equal measure. It is a bestseller, and no wonder - because the story just gets better and better

She and Bill have traditionally reserved their military ventures for church groups and the like.
Imagine being branded a "domestic terrorist" for your (conservative) political views, and having the full force and might of the Federal Government aimed your way.
My sentiments exactly.
Bump
Good point.
The crying baby without mother's milk, or the burping, well-fed little fella?
The starving waif in his "natural state" without external agents, like food and water? Or the satiated familial friend snoozing on the couch after an infusion of Turkey and Dressing?
Likewise, some people (Scottish and Irish especially) are merely born with a CH3CH2OH deficiency.
When you correct the chemical imbalance, they become their normal selves again!
Sometimes they start out as Jekylls and turn into Hydes, and sometimes they start out as Hydes and become Jekylls.
Just depends!
More like her husband's mother
Virginia Kelley, was married five times, twice to the same man.

Goatherds can do this?
Obama won't be destroyed by Republicans. He'll be destroyed by people in his own party. As in, Hillary.
"Everclear or pure grain alcohol (which is all this flavored and colored crap is)"
Obvious that you don't know jack about whiskey.
Whiskey? More finely filter alcohol kept in aromatic casks. Alcohol is alcohol. The reason Irish Whiskey supposedly leaves the least amount of hangover if the fact the best ones are triple filtered. It's the impurities that make you feel wretched but also impart certain characteristics to the intoxication. In the end the catalyst is a clear odorless solution.
Pure grain is 192 proof or about 96% pure alcohol. Whiskey is 80 or so proof or about 40% alcohol. Big difference.
Apples and oranges.
Hits it on the nose.
I don't think Obama should be judged by his father's failures. That said, I think he should be more honest about his father's life.
Regarding Mrs. Clinton, we know it would be painful if she were elected, but we still don't know what a real Liberal would be like in the Oval Office, the closest one we knew was Jimmah Carter, and I for one don't want to go through that deal again.
Yikes! The Clintons are playing hardball already, and doing so from across the pond so they can keep their hands clean.
Obama Jr, and Obama Sr.
In fact Ann divorced her husband after she discovered his bigamous double life. She remarried and moved to Indonesia with young Barack and her new husband, an oil company manager.
Obama Snr was forced to return to Kenya, where he fathered two more children by Kezia. He was eventually hired as a top civil servant in the fledgling government of Jomo Kenyatta - and married yet again.
Now prosperous with a flashy car and good salary, his third wife was an American-born teacher called Ruth, whom he had met at Harvard while still legally married to both Kezia and Ann, and who followed him to Africa.
A relative of Mr Obama says: "We told him[Barack] how his father would still go to Kezia and it was during these visits that she became pregnant with two more children. He also had two children with Ruth."
It is alleged that Ruth finally left him after he repeatedly flew into whisky-fuelled rages, beating her brutally.
Friends say drinking blighted his life - he lost both his legs while driving under the influence and also lost his job.
However, this was no bar to his womanising: he sired a son, his eighth child, by yet another woman and continued to come home drunk.
He was about to marry her when he finally died in yet another drunken crash when Obama was 21.
