Ron Blanco   10 #148 Posted May 14, 2009 Hello Readers,  Apologies for my absence last night, I had a charity event to attend.  What was the verdict on Barack's pearls of wisdom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
shlg   10 #149 Posted May 19, 2009 What was the verdict on Barack's pearls of wisdom?  I think the general consensus was that we liked it and thought it was well-written. We wondered whether he'd have been so honest if he'd known he would end up running for President! Anastacia wasn't so keen but hadn't read it all and now plans to go back to it.  What did you think?

Ron Blanco   10 #150 Posted May 19, 2009 Hi shlg,  I am half way through. It is not a page-turner.  However, it is interesting to get a feel for his background. It shows his intelligence and it does appear to be written honestly. The book in itself is a bit dull though.  He does show a willingness to change his mind (to learn?) but this can also come across as indecisive, I think. His recent U-turn on detention of suspects is an example of that - tempering his ideals with some pragmatism. It could be his downfall perhaps, which would be a shame.
