The amazing life and career of the 44th U.S. President Barack Obama have inspired millions of people worldwide. They have made any information about this charismatic leader and Nobel laureate newsworthy. That is why there is a Japanese impersonator of Obama and France’s immigrants hope for their French Obama.

OBAMÆNON is – unlike other publications about Obama – a must read book, because:
• It functions as a button that allows the reader to replay, rewind, forward, pause, reflect on and learn from some of the euphoricmoments of Obama’s journey and rise to global super stardom.
• Its reading is a rehersal for community organizing, bridge building, and global leadership.
• It is a food for thought about global thinking and local action based on mutual interests, respect and human dignity.
• It is a passport to global citizenship.
• It is a recipe for developing a yes we can attitude, the art and strategy of winning.
• It is a call to believe in oneself, in the power of audacious hope, collective effort, and diplomacy.
• It is an invaluable contribution to the Obamarama and Obamamania.
• It is an Obamafying work written by a global citizen and educator.
