I started Barack Obama's newest book, "A Promised Land". Looks like it is the first of two having to do with his political career. And the first chapter in and I was hooked. He is an eloquent speaker and he is an eloquent writer. I may have to check out his earlier books.
I had read Michelle Obama's book awhile back, so I knew the story line. But his is a different perspective. His is a different story.
Now I'm still in the beginning of the book so my feeling may change. But right now just reading it makes me want to do something. Not to be noteworthy or known. But something that makes a difference for someone. I'm not a young man looking to make changes of a national scale. That man can inspire me though.
Maybe it is because it is time for me to do something. Maybe it is the book. Time is getting shorter though. I'm going to finish the book and see where that leaves me. With a great idea or on the path to figuring it out.
The other thing that struck me is I would love to sit down and just talk with Mr. Obama. He really is amazing.
