Anthony Neal is associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Buffalo State College.
In a presidential era marked by irreverent and ill-conceived
tweets, post-truth politics and oratory mishaps we need a dose of
The Oral Presidency of Barack Obama! Neal reminds us of what we are
missing with his thoughtful analysis of the speeches of Barack
Obama.

Dr. Neal’s love for writing, history, and politics are combined in
this must-read book that takes the reader back in time to the
present day—a journey that reviews history, the impact of certain
actions in history, and how those actions impacted our country and
the presidency of Barack Obama. The detailed review of Obama’s life
timeline gives you a front seat on who he was, what he struggled
with, and what he brought to the Presidency. This well documented
and researched book gives you a glimpse into what it took to keep
hope alive and to have Obama become President. This book leaves you
thinking what will it take to heal our past as a country.
