Read his book is not going to work for the 30-35% who don't read anything. Books, newspapers,
eMails, the internet, or tech manuals. We are now a visual society, reading requires translating symbols, unless it is seen and hear it has not occurred.

This why so many say they don't know what Obama is about.

He needs a series of commercials that will introduce him to the less educated voter. These commercials should talk about his parents, his basketball, his time as a community organizer, his family. People fear what they don't know. Right now, a lot of less educated people don't know Obama.

6. Thank you
Thank you for A.) ACKNOWLEDGING that there is a problem (something it seems that few on this board actually do) and B.) Suggesting a CONSTRUCTIVE solution to that problem (something even fewer on this board seem to do).


I think that is a great idea, a great way to show America that he isn't one of the "bad guys" that he, in fact, is a lot more like you and I. We should go ahead and start running them soon, so we can define him BEFORE the republicans can and then... we have the summer to do the rest!

5. I just finished the first one.
So many said if I read his books I'd understand him better. Wasn't terribly impressed by it.

On the Library waiting list for the second one.
