Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama is the subject of yet another new book. This one is called “Say It Like Obama: The Power of Speaking with Purpose and Vision.” The author is Shel Leanne, a corporate leadership executive and former Harvard University instructor. In the book, Leanne uses examples from Obama’s speeches to explain the art of persuasion, the power of presentation, and effective communication techniques.

The book includes Obama’s 2004 Democratic National Convention speech, which put him on the political map and his 2008 Democratic National Convention speech to accept his party’s historic nomination for President of the United States.

Publisher McGraw-Hill reportedly has shipped 25,000 hardcover copies to stores. The “Say It Like Obama” book is for sale on the Barnes & Noble website from $10.97 – $17.56 and  Amazon from $8.94-$14.93.
