The Obamas by Jodi Kantor Book Summary

Award-winning reporter Jodi Kantor takes readers deep inside the White House in an "insightful and evocative" portrait of Barack and Michelle Obama (Chicago Tribune) that will surprise even readers who thought they knew the two icons. 

When Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, he also won a long-running debate with his wife Michelle. Contrary to her fears, politics now seemed like a worthwhile, even noble pursuit. Together they planned a White House life that would be as normal and sane as possible.

Then they moved in.

In the Obamas, Jodi Kantor takes us deep inside the White House as they try to grapple with their new roles, change the country, raise children, maintain friendships, and figure out what it means to be the first black President and First Lady. The Obamas is filled with riveting detail and insight into their partnership, emotions and personalities, and written with a keen eye for the ironies of public life.

Two-termer. Love this book! Obama 2012!!

Uhhh. Really....? Terrible book

Bored to sleep. Poorly done I hope in there life Mr and Mrs Obama can write there own Bios's this was fact and fiction thrown in a pot and the results is this almost timeline with the authors personal opinion not the couples.......,don't waste your funds wait for a real book to come out on this intriguing couple I barely give it a star but there was no half star

A Good Read Offering Insight. A good, interesting, if not brilliant, read, offering insight into what's not working in the Obama White House.

Still sick to my stomach. What a boreing,self loving, self centered, non American, non Christian, couple. They are perfect for each other & deserve what the end has in store for them.

Horrible book. What a horrible book don't waste your time or money.

The Obamas. Great insight worth time and money to gain insight of the ahah moments

Who cares. ^

Great book. I almost didn't read this book because of a few negative reviews stating that the author hadn't done enough original research, but had pulled the info from a variety of other sources. I'm so glad I ignored the naysayers! I LOVED this book because after reading it, I was left with a much deeper understanding of the Obamas. I don't have time to run around reading 1 zillion different articles, I'm quite happy to see the information assembled all in one place! Nice, light read that was very informative and enlightening. I have NOT been happy with the Presidents performance and I feel I better understand his struggles and challenges.

The Obamas. Like most books about political figures it's wise to read all of them that you can manage. This one had some insights into the personalities of various players I found informative. It also highlights the difference in the way different presidents and first ladies conduct themselves and go about the everyday business and adjustment to living in a virtual fish bowl in the "people's house." I've read better books but have also read many much worse. It's a quick read and I felt worth the price.

Really?. A how-to guide on destroying our great country

Obama. Very interesting!

Review. I thought the author missed bridging the psychology of both Obama's with their actions. There is predictability of behavior and motive if one knows the true character of another. That remained woefully underdeveloped, opting instead for an outsider's opinion.

So boring!. Save your money... Just horrible!!!

Poorly done...... Save your money.

Great read. It gave me a look at the inside workings of the White House. A supporter of Obama in 2008 I will vote for him again. I think this book shows he takes the job of President to heart he really wants to help this country.

I enjoyed it. I see a lot of right right winger spentn13.00' just to bash the 0bamamas. I don't get it.Why not get Romneys book.See,that is something I could never read. I don't relate to Mr flip flopper . I do howsoever ,relate to the obamas.Destroy this Country,somebody wrote,you must be confused with the Bush/ Cheney admin.Im sure there is a book about that,too.;)

Sharp refutation, a was of time reading. I also fell to sleep. “The book, an overdramatization of old news, is about a relationship between two people whom the author has not spoken to in years. The author last interviewed the Obamas in 2009 for a magazine piece, and did not interview them for this book," . "The emotions, thoughts and private moments described in the book, though often seemingly ascribed to the President and First Lady, reflect little more than the author’s own thoughts. These second-hand accounts are staples of every Administration in modern political history and often exaggerated.” So true, a waste of my time that I would like back!

BAD. Who wont's to read about a man that is destroying this beautiful country? He is a joke and not a good one

Insightful. Gives much insight into the Obama's relationship politically. Michelle appears to have more influence than Hilliary Clinton ever did with her husband's political office. In the end, she is the one with the control and power, not Barack Obama.

Book. Fell asleep

One and done.... This book was as bad as his Presidency...
