Lonnie Hicks is a Berkeley MBA, MA in Political Science and long time writer. This look at Obama's political genesis is fascinating and insightful because Hicks not only predicts how Obama will govern, but also looks at Obama's challenges offering alternative policies and programs. This is quite an achievement for one book. Pulling no punches Hicks states "America will have to undergo real changes and look at re-organization models. "Either this will be orderly or disorderly, but it will happen..." Hicks states. Must reading.
