Book Review: "A Promised Land" By Barack Obama

 

"In 2008, Barack Obama became the first African-American presidential candidate nominated by a major party, namely the Democrats. He was the first African-American to be elected (and re-elected) President of the United States." (Wikipedia)

This in turn led to the paving of the way for Kamala Harris " In 2020, Kamala Harris was elected to become the first African-American and Asian-American Vice President of the United States." (Wikipedia)

It's a good time to be alive as they say and I remember casting that vote as a proud Democrat in Luzerne County Pennsylvania -Home of JOE BIDEN soon to be our 46th President of the United States!

It's an interesting dynamic to read about the personal relationships and how all of this weighed on his shoulders, his family interactions, his professional aspiring career goals and that of the highest office of the land.

Better still is the fact he has a heart of gold. You can see this in his interaction with his wife, kids, mother in laws and those closest to his inner circle. You can see his demeanor and character in the way he interacted with Joe his V.P. all those years. You could see it with his interaction with the children going to the White House for the first time to be greeted by Obama personally or in the notes and letters he took the time to address back to his adoring fans.

This is not just a man this is true patriot who took democracy and our Constitution seriously and worked his tail off to become the success evident by his upbringing.
The heck with the current toxicity in America the fact this man still had that glowing smile and that pure love and devotion to his constituents, his party, and all those he served speaks volumes.

You can learn plenty by judging a man based on his actions not his words and I hope America sees that now -that we need intellect, diversity, transparency, and love not hate.
We can and will change what's to come because we must and all those in office will continue to fight the good fight.

I've heard his sermons, seen his work, read his biographies, and witnessed a true inspiration and this just sealed the deal in confirming what I always knew...

God Bless America!
