Historic, galvanising, unforgettable. These are but a few of the words used to describe Barack Obama's ascendance to President of the United States of America. However, in the closing months of Obama's tenure as president, there is fittingly so, much reflection on his stewardship as a black president. In the American culture the words black and president are hardly to be found in the same phrase or sentence. Thus, when Barack H. Obama won the presidency in 2008, not only was it a historic moment taking the world by surprise, there was corresponding high stakes for him among the members of the black population. This riveting book takes a cursory glimpse at Obama's presidency and what to many is deemed to have been hypocritical. The book also presents a short original poem which encapsulates the subject matter into a nutshell.
