Outskirts Press Announces The Last Shall Be the First Barack Obama: The Hope of a People Forgotten, or a Man Whose Time Has Come?

Montgomery, AL, September 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press author Dr. Charles N. Smith releases his latest political work, The Last Shall Be the First, a book that focuses on why Senator Obama can and will be the next president of the United States. Dr. Smith illustrates how Obama’s desire to look beyond race can ignite a fire of change that will make Americans believe in this country once again.

According to the author, Senator Obama’s time has come, and The Last Shall Be the First shows how his political agenda is designed to take the country in a new direction. This book provides an opportunity for readers to look at the issues and bills Obama has supported during his tenure as an Illinois state senator, review what he has accomplished while in office, and examine where he stands on important issues facing this country.

This book targets young, new voters who have lost faith in the political process, and undecided voters who are looking for a leader with answers to the economic crisis, the escalating Iraq war, and the mess we have made of our foreign policy relationships. This book is also for non-Black voters who may not have realized that Black Americans have historically demonstrated their deep love for this country and contributed to it in countless ways. It offers examples of Black Americans who have succeeded despite great odds and inspired patriotism in even the most cynical.

According to the author, the country is crying out for someone with a fresh outlook; someone who sees America through very different lenses; and someone who sees America as she should be—a country where all Americans can believe in the true American creed. Dr. Smith believes that Barack Obama fits that bill perfectly.
