The Obama Chronicles: Stories from the Heartland: the Election of Obama and His Governing Style Mr. Lonnie D. Hicks

This book examines the rise of Barack Obama, his campaign for the Presidency, and, his election as the first African-American President of the United States. The author has recorded insights and reactions of Americans from all across the country, interwoven with his own views as a native of Chicago and having grown up in Obama's old 13th Senate District. Hicks offers insights in the lessons Obama learned in Chicago politics,his mid-western values and how these factors predicted his governing style and policies. The expectation of Americans from all walks of life were recorded, real time, providing a sharp contrast between those expectations and the challenges Obama faces as President.
