...I'm only about a third thru, but it is clearly the greatest Presidential memoir ever written. Only Grant can compete, and his book was about the Civil War, not his Presidency. Obama's memoir is smart, funny, candid, and just gives an overwhelming sense of what the Presidency is *like*. This is going to become an American classic...and this doesn't surprise me in the least.
