I don't know how many bothered to read O's "Dreams"...I did. Before the election. Knew then we'd be in trouble if he was elected. It was written as if the writer was a juvenile....and certainly as a narcissist. There isn't much of anything that is uplifting, nor worthy of praise in the book. I also read about the same time, Clarence Thomas's book, "My Grandfather's Son".....Total day and night difference. This man grew up with not much money, he and his brother were raised by his Grandfather and Grandmother on a 'dirt farm' in Georgia. They learned how to cope with not many material goods, how to save money, how to study, and how to work. Their Grandparents helped the boys and saved money so they could go to college. Clarence Thomas is definitely a man we can all learn from and admire. The difference between the two is measured in thousands of miles...not in inches.
