Stunning Photographs
This book is what you would expect from Life books! There are photographs of just about every stage of Obama’s life. As a young boy, teenager, and as an adult. There are photos of him with each of his parents and grandmother and many of him with his beautiful family. There is even a photo of Barack and Bono together, sigh. The photography is exquisite!
The book takes us through Barack’s career all the way through to the August 2008 Democratic Convention in Denver.
If you want a memento of our 44th president elect’s life and achievements so far, this is a book for you. It is going on my coffee table, where everyone can see it. It’s a treasure!

I don’t think I’ve ever read one of LIFE’s books before. I wonder what other books they have on people? Gotta go check that out!
Lezlie,
He is awesome! I don’t envey his new job though, but I am glad he is the one to do it.
Ladytink,
They have all kinds of books. The photos in their books are always top-notch. Have fun looking.
I haven’t bought a Life book either. I love coffee table books! It’s interesting to see this book and review now that Obama’s time as president is winding down. I wish Life would do another book on him capturing photos of his time in office! He has truly been a great president who has dealt with more than his share of criticism.
