A review by caroparr
The Obamas by Jodi Kantor

3.0

Highly readable account of the First Family. Michelle (yes, I call her Michelle) comes off better, having grown over the last three years. She started out disdainful and suspicious of the first lady role and has come around to figuring out how she can actually accomplish something. Meanwhile, the president is portrayed as a person stuck in exasperation over the stupidity of Congress - not that I blame him, but it's not a very useful approach. Take-away: introverted T's govern well but can be lousy at politics.
