Hi, am from India. Read the book from a library. Found it quite interesting. Having absolutely no idea about the world happenings in general, the book proved quite helpful to know and understand Obama. Thanks!
Hi. My name is Felice Manti, I'm an Italian journalist and I would like to have an interview with you about Obama. Is it possible? Please write me felice.manti@ilgiornale.it. Thanks
I am thoroughly enjoying – in the few days preceding the election – reading your first-rate work on Barack Obama, one which nicely complements his own books, which I read at the beginning of the campaign.
One thing you may wish to communicate to Senator (and, hopefully, President-elect beginning this coming week): the quote that he says is his favorite MLK quote(page 227 of the paperback edition of your book), and is also one of my favorites from any source), “the arc of the moral universe is long, But it bends toward justice,” is not MLK’s. Rather, it is that of the nineteenth century abolitionist Theodore Parker (for corroboration, see Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights, and Murder in the Jazz Age. by Kevin Boyle, concerning the 1925 Ossian Sweet case Detroit, which won a 2004 National Book Award).
I was interning for 2 months in the US, at the perfect period of the election... Thanks for this book! ;-) Would love to read on this blog your comments regarding all this election campaign, the results and the future. Thanks in advance. Wish you all the best!

Hi Mr. Mendell, Thanks for your biography of President-Elect Barack Obama. You provide an outsider's perspective of Barack & Michelle's relationship, which makes me admire them even more for the love & respect they have for one another. Since I read both of President Obama's books, I have been searching for more writings about this extraordinary man & family. Do you plan to publish a book about the 2008 Presidential elections? I would be interested in reading about your experience.
Hi from Onyx in Atlanta. I'm so happy to see that you have written the next book! Let's discuss it further. You can reach me at africafreeman@gmail.com.
Just finished your book. I really enjoyed it, interesting and readable. I live in Chicago and I'm very frustated with Mayor Daley and Alderman Tunney who just goes along with the Mayor (parking meter deal, Olympics).
I was impressed with Inspector General Hoffman with how he stood up to Mayor Daley with the report. Inspector Hoffman is supported by Fitzgerald which is great. I'm interested in learning more about Fitzgerald and I think he sets a great example.
Any thoughts on these issues? Are you working on anything now?

You quote Barack agin attributing the "arc of justice" quote to King, at page 331.
People should read this.
