回顧總統任內，他以獨到而周延的觀點，探索了總統權的範圍與侷限，也以獨特見解，剖析美國涇渭分明的政黨政治以及國際外交上的折衝。歐巴馬帶領讀者深入白宮橢圓形辦公室以及戰情室，進入莫斯科、開羅、北京等地。透過本書，我們能一窺其思路，包括他籌組內閣時的全盤考量、苦思如何解決全球金融危機、忖度俄羅斯總統普丁的盤算、克服看似無法踰越的逆境讓〈平價醫療法〉（Affordable Care Act）在國會闖關、為了美國在阿富汗的戰略與將領起衝突、落實華爾街改革、因應災難性的墨西哥灣油井爆炸、授權狙擊賓拉登的「海神之矛行動」等等。
I was inspired by the young leaders of the civil rights movement--not just Dr. King but John Lewis and Bob Moses, Fannie Lou Hamer and Diane Nash. In their heroic efforts--going door-to-dorr to register voters, sitting down at lunch counters, and marching to freedom songs--I saw the possibility of practicing the values my mother had taught me; how you could build power not by putting others down by lifting them up. This was true democracy at work--democracy not as a gift from on high, or a division of spoils between interest groups, but rather democracy that was earned, the work of everybody. The result was not just a change in material conditions but a sense of dignity for people and communities, a bond between those who had once seemed far apart. (查看原文)
I got lost in my head, preoccupied with questions that seemed to layer themselves one over the next. What made some movements succeed where others failed? Was it a sign of success when portions of a cause were absorbed by conventional politics, or was it a sign that the cause had been hijacked? When was compromise acceptable and when was it selling out, and how did one know the difference? (查看原文)
Preface of "A Promised Land" I BEGAN WRITING THIS BOOK shortly after the end of my presidency—after Michelle and I had boarded Air Force One for the last time and traveled west for a long-deferred break. The mood on the plane was bittersweet. Both of us we...

帶我回顧了一下奧巴馬主政時期的事情。加深了我對於美國兩黨制政治以及美國民主制度的理解。然後我終於理解誰是民主黨誰是共和黨總統了。

大部分篇幅都在叙述执政生活，通篇稍显“啰嗦”，但对于叙述到中国上海和北京的那部分我却觉得出奇地有意思。相比来讲，还是更喜欢米歇尔的《成为》。

1. 奥巴马在竞选总统过程中，成为美国历史上一个月内募捐最多的候选人，而且其中超过90%都是来自小额捐款。 2. 奥巴马在入主白宫的过程中，遇到的最大挑战是弥补竞选给两党之间带来的隔阂，他通过组建内阁时任人唯贤的态度成功完成了转变。 3. 奥巴马在白宫的生活并不轻松，他也找到了给自己纾解压力的方式：打篮球、听音乐，还有向林肯学习。

這本書有些囉哩囉嗦，但也同時看到理想和現實的相互妥協，北京的部分也可以看出中美間的思維差異
