The Breakthrough; Judging A Book By Its Cover
The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama
Author: Gwen Ifill
Yes, folks. That would be Gwen Ifill in no way to be confused with Gwenn Eyefull. It took years of study and research to write this epic look into the literal ones of years that comprise the “Age Of Obama”, but Gwen came through. She spen countless hours rifling through microfilm and old newspaper clipings to gather little known data all the way back to 2004. Despite the fact that this earlier civilization didn’t keep the best records, Gwenn was able to compile some great data.
Gwen takes a close look at how this historic figure has influenced modern politics. From the legislation he didn’t write as a U.S. Senator, to the “present” votes that shaped his home state, she covers it all. She even managed to dig up some information on his early days in a log cabin in… excuse me, I mean an apartment building in Indonesia.
It wasn’t easy for a young black man to be raised by a “typical white person”, but from these humble beginnings grew a young man who would ride a line of empty rhetoric all the way to the white house. Now far removed from those days, Obama now sits as the most powerful man in the world run by “white mans greed”.
Now, perhaps you have listened to Gwen when she said that this book isn’t really about Obama. Well, don’t let the name fool you. It is. And I should know that. After all, I am Steve Parry, and I have judged this book by its cover.
