    HIstorical
    Although written before Obama‘s political career took off, it’s hard to listen to this book and not hear Obama the president.

    Kindle price=Paperback price
    I downloaded the sample of this book to my Kindle 2 and I loved it. I decided to buy, but why is the Kindle price equal to the paperback price? They are both for $8.

    At Last – an intellegent president
    A man that can put more than 3 words together. A fascinating story from the President of the United States before he was president. Precise, humorous, informative, etc.
