*** Congratulations to Sharky M.(#115) ***
*** A Giveaway of The American Journey of Barack Obama by The Editors of LIFE Magazine ***
A Special Thanks to Anna at Hachette Book Group
The American Journey of Barack Obama covers the candidate from his childhood and adolescence to his time as editor of The Harvard Law Review and his Chicago activist years, culminating with the excitement and fervor of the historic 2008 Democratic National Convention. The unfolding drama of Obama’s life and political career is cinematic in scope, and never has it been presented so compellingly.
In addition to a powerful array of photographs that were taken by many of the country’s greatest photographers (and some that were snapped, in the quiet moments, by Obama family members themselves), this book also includes a Foreword by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, an incisive narrative biography and original essays by some of our finest writers, including Gay Talese, Charles Johnson, Melissa Fay Greene, Andrei Codrescu, Fay Weldon, Richard Norton Smith, Bob Greene and several others. Many readers will find a new understanding of Obama. All readers will feel that they are bearing witness to a singular, undeniably American story.

I would love to win this!! Me and my children, even though they couldn’t vote, were some of his biggest supporters!!
Have voted in every presidential election since 1960 (you had to be 21 then) when I cast my vote for JFK. Every time exiting the voting booth I was always aware of a feeling that I had participated in history and wondered how it would effect my life. This time I was most aware that this vote would greatly effect the lifes of my grandaughters and there was something both terrifying and hopeful in the air. Since I am an athiest I will not pray for President Obama but will sent him my best wishes and keep my fingers crossed. I would love to have this book as a reminder of my adventure last Tuesday.
I’d love to win!

I’d love to read this :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!
Inspiration! I think so-o-o-o many people are intensely curious about where this person came from, continuing in a wonderment just where he is GOING (and taking us along)! A lot of thoughtful people are suddenly focused on the same page of a new-and-improved ‘play book’ and finally feeling some serious hope. Just like I’M hoping to win this, then kick back and do some serious readin’! Thanks! (and sorry about that other sweep — we got so caught up in the fun that we both kinda “blew right by” the “one per household” restriction)
I’d love to own this and I’m very excited about our new President.
I would love to read this. Thanks!

This is one of those books that pinpoint a time in history that you want to have for posterity. Some highlight tragic events and others like this highlight an amazing story of overcoming all the odds. To see a man, born in obscurity rise above what some would have called his station is life is a testament that with hard work, perseverance and hope that one can accomplish anything. It reminds us all that we are only limited by our own vision.
