He gets you to agree with him, and then he brings in a counternarrative that seems just as convincing. Son of a white American mother and of a black Kenyan father whom he never knew, Obama grew up mainly in Hawaii. After college, he worked for three years as a community organizer on Chicago's South Side. Then, finally, he went to Kenya, to find the world of his dead father, his "authentic" self. Will the truth set you free, Obama asks? Or will it disappoint? Both, it seems. His search for himself as a black American is rooted in the particulars of his daily life; it also reads like a wry commentary about all of us. He dismisses stereotypes of the "tragic mulatto" and then shows how much we are all caught between messy contradictions and disparate communities. He discovers that Kenya has 400 different tribes, each of them with stereotypes of the others. Obama is candid about racism and poverty and corruption, in Chicago and in Kenya. Yet he does find community and authenticity, not in any romantic cliche{‚}, but with "honest, decent men and women who have attainable ambitions and the determination to see them through."

The stuff that small town newspaper editors dreams are made of-- except the actual authors of this book aren't from Wasilla at all but rather work for publisher Harper Collins. Apparently you can expect a lot of Palin's head Photoshopped onto other bodies. Here's hoping Harper Collins snatched up some of the writers and artists from the much mourned Weekly World News.

I feel the same way about this doll as I do about Sarah Palin- both elated to see a woman on a party ticket and chagrined that it's her.
