Barack Obama is an auto-biography that talks about Obama’s eight years in office and about his upbringing and thoughts through both of his terms. One of the things I found interesting is the West colonnade which Obama said was the best area inside the white house because it allowed him to gather his thoughts, preparing arguments, and ticking through meetings that lay ahead. Through the week several times Obama would step out colonnade to find groundkeepers if he wasn’t running late he would stop and compliment them on the fresh plantings that were ruined by the storm the night before. Barack also talks about how he didn’t really know his father first time he seen him was at 10  years old when he visited Hawaii for a month
