Why is a once improbable Romney presidency getting closer to a real possibility? Because, suggests the author, Obama has lost touch with who he really is, and over-compromised himself in his passion to be a two-term president, and to impress white people as a black man they need not be afraid of, who is nonthreatening, who is like them in every way but his skin color. Analyzing Obama's identity problem, the author then suggests what Obama must do to win, not just the White House, but far more important, history's verdict as a great and visionary leader.
The book, coming from one among millions of disappointed and once-passionate Obama supporters, gives a highly personal and therefore original perspective to suggest how Obama's dilution of his original self might have weakened his support from his core constituency.
Despite there being hundreds of books on the subject of race, most readers have admitted that the author's book "Impressing the Whites" is quite unique. This book is published in the hope that the same is true for this book, despite all that has already been written on Obama.
