Book Reviews of Barack Obama: 44th President of the United States Special Commemorative 2009 Wall Calendar

Book Review: Both a history lesson and a keepsake
Summary: 5 Stars

I have purchased copies of all of the Obama calendars and this and the one from Sourcebooks are the two best. The Sourcebook calendar is slightly larger and printed on heavier, glossy paper, which makes it difficult to write on if you're planning to use it to keep track of your appointments. It covers 16 months instead of 12 (starting in September, 2008) and has several hundred inspirational quotations in its calendarium. But the main difference is that the Sourcebook calendar was published in August, before the Presidential election, so the photos in it are mostly photos in which Barack looks good (with his family, or a baseball bat, sitting behind a desk, etc). This calendar has several photos of Barack in which he is mainly looking good, but most of the photos are of historical significance: his keynote speech at the Democratic Convention in 2004, which started it all; winning in Iowa; being endorsed by Ted and Carolyn Kennedy; in flight in Iraq with General Petraeus (an iconic photograph, that was contrasted in the daily newspapers with one of John McCain, who was driving around in a golfcart with former President Bush that same day); speaking to hundreds of thousands of people in Berlin; with Joe Biden at the 2008 Convention; and campaigning with Hillary and Bill Clinton. The cover photo is from Election Night, and the image for January shows him speaking from a podium that says "Office of the President-Elect."

So although I like both calendars, this is the one I'll keep after 2009 is over, as a reminder of the incredible journey that lead to the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America.
