Audacity of Hope -- one columnist's recommendation

Mary Schmich writes in the Chicago Tribune today that reading Barack Obama's Audacity of Hope is worth the effort, even if you're not an Obama groupie. These two short paragraphs state why you might want to read the book:

There are other politicians equally worthy of running for president. There's not, however, another one who has so precisely and readably laid out the workings of his mind and a vision of this country.

Obama has staked his success on the belief that many of us are looking for a different way of talking about politics and policy, about life. He writes the way he believes we'd like to talk.

I'm just beginning to read the book, but I'd agree, it would be worth the read, especially if you have questions about his person and conviction. If we say we want transparent leaders, here's one for you.
