We get to gaze into the mind of one of The Greatest. I really love how President Obama shares the challenges to becoming and being a Husband, Father and President of the United States. Too often we believe something magical happens, too often we forget that Obama and others are just like us. They’re people who are just trying for something larger than themselves. So proud to have been alive during this time. This book sheds light and insight on the mind of an amazing Black man & supreme leader.

Best modern president. Behind the tough decisions and moral compass that guides one of the best modern president we ever had 😄❤️🇺🇸🌎☀️

Very True Insight. Loved the book. Read it then bought the audiobook to hear it in his voice. I did enjoy the audiobook more than actually reading it. Hearing him tell the stories and him emphasizing certain elements took me to a different plane. I’ve seen the negative reviews and thought to myself that some of the one star reviews didn’t read the book or give it a chance. An historical President, hearing the explanation behind some of his actions while he navigates Washington D.C. is quite breathtaking. Looking forward to volume 2.

Promised Land. Great book. A wonderful insight into the working of government. Thanks to President Obama for his great service.

Amazing.. I was young during this administration. Now that I have a better understanding of the world. This was an amazing read.

Junk. This guy is a trader and a shameful example of American

Great book. Disgusting reviews by those who never read it.. So many racists in these reviews who never even read the book, but feel the need trash it.

Beautiful insight. This book is so exceptionally written by Obama. His description about the events and measures he experienced as president really gives a bold idea of a true leader. He is graceful, polished and set the bar for standards in the US Presidency. I’d recommend this book to all who are interested in knowing something about this former president. P.S. ignore the countless trumpers who will fully wrote terrible reviews without reading this book. Their ignorance is clearly visible so as their inability to read.

Disappointed. I am a wholehearted Obama supporter, but initially I couldn’t get beyond the first 100 pages. We read about all this before and repeated again it smacked of self importance. I left it with a 2 rating. After taking a break I got back to it and did manage to finish it - and my rating went up to 3, but that’s all I’ll give it. It’s just too clinical- some decent context for those who don’t know some of the history behind different events or issues, but no real emotion or lessons for the future; almost a bit defensive and defeatist. Where’s the “Yes we can” man?! And c’mon, where the rage about been stopped by his detractors at every step? And you could have done more! Not going to buy Part 2.

Great book!. A terrific look into the life/presidency of Barack Obama. Highly recommend.

Great Read!. Loved the book. Although I’m not interested in politics, it was great reading about how decisions are made. And because I’m in the military, I have a great appreciation for how much the book contains different historical events that involve our military. Well Done President Obama!

Awesome. I laughed, I cried, I read some passages two or three times. Even though I lived through these days, it was very eye opening to read President Obama’s viewpoint and insights. When will part 2 be coming out?

One of the best Presidential Memoirs!. Obama takes us through his first Term in the White House, beginning with his Senatorial years, with vivid details. Humble and always ready to share his accomplishments with his team, Obama reveals the sensitivity & caring man behind the stoic facade. Must read!

Could use some work. It’s honestly lacking in depth and personality. Please rewrite and get back to me.

This should be under fiction. Don’t know what world this guy is describing. He tries to make stuff up to become relevant.

Good. Read

Very important. Great

Gripping. Behind the scene account of a decent man dealing with the most complex issues of our time. Gripping.

Obama: the W.O.R.S.T.. How could he sleep at night with all the stuff he supports?!?! Obama was the worst possible president ever, and the most corrupt of them all. He is very racist, and he’s here bad. Hear me out: absolutely do not listen to anything he says. They’re all lies. Lies. LIES I SAY! LIES!

Wonderful. An excellent recount of Americas greatest president

Great book. This is a true treaty of politics, rule of law, international relations and hope written by a true Statesman

Skeleton Rap (Minecraft song). Well, hello again friend, I’m a skeleton returning from the dead, determined to be relevant again and a following trends to the Nether to the End, and, I’ve, got a bone to pick with you little human a bone to pick with you little human being, I’ve seen ,where you’ve been and I don’t like it!!! I’ve got a bow to shoot at you little human, a bow to shoot at you little human being I’ve seen where you’ve been and I don’t like it!!! At all!!!

Greatest President Ever. Here is a man that operated with integrity, dignity and respect for all human kind. This book details the thought process in his decisions and how it would affect all kind. This is why there were no scandals during his presidency. Now for all those that follow, we see a sharp contrast of a person with a moral compass versus one who only look out for his personal gain. No matter the truth!

Well Done. Enjoyed the book throughly.

The Promised Land. I thought the book was amazing even though there was a lot of political issues that Barack had to go through. It’s amazing at how Barack only had 8 years to try and make things better for the American people and he had so much push back and criticism. I’m so glad that Michelle stuck with Barack. I wish both of them the best in all that they do. I miss them both.

Fantastic . . .. But a long, loooonnnng read.

Promised Land. It was an intense reading. So many ups and downs, so many emotions. After reading this book I am even more thrilled at the progress that President Obama was able to make.

Now the truth is out. Truth revealed make sure you are getting uncensored info. Otherwise you are part of the problem. How is the that new America going everyone? 😂

Outstanding. Awesome wonderful book from beginning to end. A must read book.

A detailed account of Obama’s presidency. A great read! A first hand account of his life, campaign and presidency.

Bravo Mr. President!. I do not even know where to start with in my review. Barack’s writing guided me through this book like a John Grisham novel. He have me a detailed picture of his thoughts and actions and I felt my self excited to get to the next chapter. I loved how he provided true gratitude to his support family and support staff. This one will go down as one of the most well written Presidential accounts in history...and it is only part one!

GETCHICKENFAMILY. *****

Best President and best read!. This is one of the best reads to see inside what a “REAL” President of the United States does. What it means to bring people together and to fight for the American dream. He truly is genuine to the core. I’ve read every book of his so far and everyone just gets better. To those who wrote that he is terrible, I find it un-American to rate this book one star just because you want to say negative things and divide America. Is that what you want for the future? Grow up

Thoughtful and Intelligent. What a great read. What a great president. The thought and measured approach to Obama’s presidency should be the gold standard. We could accomplish so much.

I searched. I was trying to find an accomplishment. I couldn’t. He is dangerous and racist and completely delusional.

A Promised Land. Awesome self portrait of an extraordinary man. I found the book awfully long, but readable as he is a very skilled writer. I loved his self appraisals and respectful descriptions of the people he worked with.

Incredible!. What an incredible book! You certainly get your moneys worth with nearly 900 pages of reading material and 100 pages of amazing photographs. This book only details the first two years of President Obama’s two terms. I so look forward to the next three books and beyond. We sometimes forget overtime how many obstacles that this amazing president had to overcome. There is also incredible insight into why he ran for president when he did, Michelle Obama’s concerns and eventual support and how he maintained being the best president in United States history while still being an amazing husband, father and son. I could not recommend this book more.

Great Person. His unshakable faith impressed me！

Awesome. Very insightful look into his life….more than I expected!!!

Good Book. A very interesting and informative book

Do not read. Do not get this book I hate it so bad

Amazing. Barack Obama is an amazing person

The Promised Land. Provides both a captivating view of what it is like to be president and a behind-the-scenes look at the myriad issues of his first two years in office. Well written and very engaging.

Thanks Obama. I didn’t support all your policies but you didn’t try to overthrow the government so you have that going for you.

As good as you knew it would be. A truly phenomenal read. Despite it being 700+ pages, I wish there’d been more. One for the ages.

Good not great.. Gave me insight to several events that happened during his terms. Did not give me a sense of connection to the emotions he felt while making his significant decisions. Good read...not great for that reason.

Great Read and Great President with Flaws. The lowness of the trash troll comments is insane to me. You took time out of your pathetic lives to trash a book you didn’t read just because President Obama was on the cover. You’re the lowest of the low, you’re cowards and you’re the enemy of this state supporting the real trash president who’s a criminal, pardons criminals and is the most un-presidential person in the history of America! Get a life! And if you’re so bold to leave disgusting comments leave your real names. Now back to the book.. the book gave us more insight into what this president dealt with in office and the impact on his life and family! Nothing most of us didn’t know based on the racists on here proving what America really stands for.

As a former service member. Reading this book is helping me to bring closure to some of the really dark days of my time in service. I appreciate President Obama’s candid nature and ability to make me look up certain words. This is a great book of what it was like during the run up and early presidential days of the man we all know as President Barack Obama.

Excellent Memoir! Looking forward to the second volume!. An excellent memoir in all respects. The phenomenally written story of a president under unique challenges and faced with unimaginable pressure. This memoir paints a vivid picture of Barack Obama as a man, husband, father, and friend, and President Obama as a leader, strategist, and diplomat. I am looking forward to volume 2!

Praise for President Barack Obama. Thank you President Obama for this most interesting and historical writing. You are a great human being and the US and the world are fortunate to have seen an example of such a great human being and leader. Wish you and your family the very best in your years ahead.

Horrible and such a waste of time. Slightly insightful but filled with lies

Rear miroir. So much emotions felt, relived while reading this memoir. So much pride and certainty in earlier judgment of the man. Can't wait for volume 2

Great book that gives an insight into being POTUS. I’ve read all the other books of President Obama and really like this book out of the 3. The other ones were written prior his entry into his role as president. I think this one really gives a real perspective of his life as POTUS, the intellect and empathy required for the office, a great insight into the difficult decisions he has to take for the USA and if effects on his family. People often forget all he has accomplished in his first term: saving the economy from a brink of recession in 2008, the healthcare act, the climate change policy initiatives, the 2 wars (Iraq and Afghanistan) he inherited and had to close, the undocumented immigrants policies he had to put in place as well as the LGBQT policies and finally the fact that he captured and killed Osama Bin Ladin (Al-Quada’s terrorist group leader responsible for the 9/11 attacks). Not much people give him credit for all these accomplishments under his administration. They often prefer the lies and fact less rhetoric of Trump. Anyhow, I’m glad for the 1st African American president the USA had, to have had Barrack Obama as it representative. He put the bar high on the excellence required to hold this office and execute on all promises. I know because of him, I see the possibilities for what is possible for me and my offspring limitless. Thanks for a great record of your presidency @barackobama @potus #promiseland #dreamscometrue #dreamsfrommyfather #audacityofhope

Enlightening. Outstanding read!

I promise. 54 33 I wonder how this book made me feel for the time I was reading it. I thought it was funny but at the end of the day I’m not a former president. I enjoyed the family parts and I think 2 terms as president for Barrack Obama are keep going as the time has shifted since I was in high school and Barrack Obama was president. I didn’t like how long it took me to finish this pirate.

his legacy was Trump. He promised hope. He had millions chanting “yes we can”. Then... he lied

Amazing. Great Book

Garbage can of lies.. The man is an ego maniac. Dangerous drivel. Poorly written.

Good book. Two types of ratings, people who enjoy the book, and Trump supporters complaining.

An amazing story. The personal story that I never knew I wanted to read. Miss you Obama!

Terrible. The title alone is a farce. Couldn’t finish it through all of the lies. Check out Dan Bongino’s Follow the Money - that’s a real eye opener.

He was the President. He wasn’t God. This book is literally Obama beating it to himself. And a bunch of idiots will probably do the same while reading it.

A special man. Obama is still a community organizer and university professor with heart and honesty. He made us proud to be Americans. I believe the country misses him.

Awesome read. Great book...great President. I have a feeling the bad reviews come from the Trumpsters and they probably haven’t even read the book.

Tried to be inspired. The words sound amazing as you read them and it would be a truly inspiring book, if the story and the real man were told. Why wasn’t Obama just plain honest about the mistakes he made and deals he tried to do on his own without senate approval. I guess America just knows too much about the deceit of this man that it’s hard to read this book and feel anything but the truth and that it’s all just a bunch of lies and half told truths. He really is arrogant and thinks too highly of himself. Unfortunately, the man he thinks he is and the man most of the world sees are not the same. I did read the entire book and it felt like another of his many lies.

Don’t listen to the angry ReTrumplicans.... This book gave an in-depth look at Obama, not just the president, but as a son, brother, husband, and father; with all the vulnerability that comes with those titles. Hate him or love him; you get a true understanding of how he revolutionized an American presidency as well as all the labour, blood, sweat, and tears it took to accomplish that. So, to all the negative reviews...you probably didn’t read the book and just want to give it a lousy rating.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Audiobook. I have a hard time believing people who don’t like Obama listened to 20 hours or read 700 some pages about his presidency. Especially when the review is one sentence about him personally 😂. I’m not finished with the audio book but I’ve enjoyed it so far. Insightful and interesting, it’s not easy being president. At first I was confused as to why it had to be so long, but I appreciate the detail he put into his project.

Aiden D. It was an ok book and I didn’t like the guy or the things he said, but for being a book this wasn’t too bad but i didn’t like it personally But for some people this would be a great book and if you love this man and the things he has said I think this would be a good book for you

Another Book About Himself. Yet another book about himself, how many could he possibly write?

Immaculate. Unreal depiction of a historic well-run presidency. The competency and humanity of this administration shine throughout

Utter trash. Obama is self absorbed, lying pile of dog excrement. Utter garbage.

A story of a delusional man that divided america. Not worth a penny.

Amazing book. Amazing President and book is awesome. Ignore the negative reviews they did not read the book. Why would you purchase a book of someone you don't like?

Lies. This guy is so full of himself. He never helped anyone except himself.

Waste of money. Egotistical drivel.

Did know he could write this well. I seldom read anything other than mystery books with an occasional science fiction story. However this book was so well written, so personal, and so moving that I had tears in my eyes every 20 pages or so. It made me so proud to be an American. A pride that, I admit, over the last four years, has wained.

Brilliant. 91% of the bad reviews are people not actually reading the book.

Narcissistic. Just not interesting

What a refreshing look at the kind of person it takes to be called POTUS.. The current mentally challenged impossinator has so far left 326,000 dead in the US while deciding to golf at Mar-a-Lago and sticking us with the accrued $151 million dollar bill while he has ignored the matters at hand. Obama at least had the courtesy and empathy to bring health care to millions before the current administration’s GOP sheep nuked it so they could afford to bless themselves with a tax break. It’s obvious the brain dead uned ucated trolls who pretend to have read this book are nothing more than the cult of T%#@! wanna be thugs that are equally responsible for attempting to destroy the constitution in order to set up a dictatorship of white only racist morons. Good luck losers!

Obama maybe find a new life far far away. This book is um I’m trying not to curse here

A President!. This book is about a human who became President against all odds and without the help of the Communist in Moscow. I can imagine the book “Written by the Orange Man”, probably nothing but a collection of Tweets and misspelled words. Maybe some additions by Jeffrey Epstein and Roger Stone? Maybe a new edition of the Grinch who spoils everyone’s Christmas 2020?

Worst president ever!. Worst president ever!

Incomparable!. A triumph of the 21st century!

A Promised Land. Pure crap. This man and his wife are true enemies of the state. Nauseating couple of 1%ers who denigrated the sect till they were able to become members using their status to turn political office into millions$. Should have written a valuable book..How I Became The Worst President In History And Fooled Some Of The People All The Time.

There were noting but glorified lies in this book!. He is a political opportunist and a cheat and a impostor. Traitor to American people! There are noting but glorified lies in his book!

Didn’t read the book.. I feel like most of the negative reviews on here are simply from people that haven’t read the book and already have a negative opinion about Obama. Anyone can post a review and never have purchased the book. I think for that reason alone, I’ll pick up the book.

Wow. Amazing stuff! Such an easy listen. 10/10

Racist and corrupt. Probably the most corrupt, divisive and racist President we’ve ever had.

Barack Obama. I haven’t read the book yet either but my very literate and very intelligent daughter has and says it was excellent. Let me guess...all the negative reviews probably came from Trumpsters?

Socialism at its finest.. It’s great until you run out of someone else’s money.

Trash. This book is filled with lies. He divided the US and is now writing books while enriching himself. This country must not be racist after all.

Excellent book, excellent president. To all the haters writing reviews - You know you didn’t buy the book let alone read it. You people are so crazy with hate; you must live miserable lives. Just know this - President Obama couldn’t care less what you think about him or his book.

Pure garrrbage. One of the worst presidents in history who accomplished nothing, definitely worth a read just for type comedy factor.

The worst President of all Time!!. Completely corrupt in all aspects of his life. The definition of a sorry human being.

Yuck - hayel NO. Wouldn’t touch this book with a 39 and a half foot pole! Won’t let me submit a no star rating...!

Trash. Worst President, and one of the worst people to be born.

Response to biased reviews. This was an amazing read for me. I’m just floored by the unmitigated vitriol expressed by obvious republicans who for some reason worship at the alter of the worst person who ever occupied the “People’s House”. I find it incredible that almost 5 years after the fact that these people still can’t bring themselves to tell the truth about Obama’s extraordinary 2 terms in office. Let’s just say for the sake of argument that he sucked as President. Even if that were true, he still stands head and shoulders above the lawless piece of human excrement who succeeded him in office, with, we should NEVER forget, the hand of Russia all over his time in office. Was President Obama perfect? Heck no. But don’t allow the good that he did become the enemy of the perfect ideal that republicans unfairly seek to destroy his image for not being. With almost 300,000 people dead and counting, and the diminution of the country’s image around the world, I can’t, for the life of me, understand why the “Orange One” is tearing up the country and it’s norms and customs in the pursuit of holding on to a job that he obviously has no interest in carrying out the duties of. In 8 years on the job, Obama had not even a hint of improper conduct in his entire administration. So, I’m clear about the importance of this black man being the first person other than a white man to hold that office. And what a fine job he did, in spite of the fact that leaders of the Republican Party were on record stating that their reason for being was to ensure that Obama was a one term president. They couldn’t even pull that off.

Superb insight into Obama’s 1st term. An eye opening and engaging insight into how hard it was, to become (IMO) the greatest president this country has had the fortune to experience. It explains in detail how government is meant to work, but more importantly how it doesn’t! His struggles from his formative years to lawyer, senator and to president are inspiring at the very minimum. An excellent lesson in humility for us lesser beings!

AMAZING. An incredible and DEEPER read of the Mindset of a Brilliant and Loving American. The Truth about America’s greatness and criminality of racism, slavery, Jim Crow in 2020 and beyond! If Americans Continue to FAIL GREATLY at massively Addressing and Changing Racism and Brutality hidden in laws, the culture, and mores of American life, America will CONTINUE to lose the global challenges that face all industrialized countries! President Obama clearly expresses the obvious challenges in America surrounding race, racism, capitalism, greed, willful ignorance, fear mongering, lying, and white privileged! Well written President Obama!

Just not that great. Sorry. Just not a good read. Very plain and boring.

Goat. Yessir Obama!

Wonderful. It’s going to be plenty of people who didn’t want to see him as “President “ talk down on him,his family an of course this book....WHO CARES!....Great Job👍🏽👏🏽

Phenomenal. People who are on here trashing the book surely did not read it. Assuming that they really think so many of these things about him why purchase the book? If you’re interested in this book I would suggest that you download the sample.

Very well written. Excellent accounting by Obama of the challenges and decisions made during his first term as President. Very interesting read.

Great Book!. I like the way Obama fitted all the key details of his presidency. I don’t know why people are say worst book ever... they are probably little kids. But overall great book 100% recommend.

Nope. I’ve never read a book where a man thought so much of himself. I don’t recommend this book.

Amazing. This was very well written I love detail in a book and that’s exactly what he did. Reading some of these reviews that gave it bad stars obviously didn’t read the book just been hateful is All he wasn’t born in the us hmmmm Hawaii is apart of the us smh. Anyway very educational and a good read. I read it not because he was our BEST president ever but because he is a teacher and I’m loving to gain knowledge

Excellent. Excellent read. Very good account of the history behind the events. Loved the book. Love Obama.
