Obama: the historic campaign in photographs by Deborah Willis and Kevin Merida. I'm regretting this purchase already. For three reasons: 1- The campaign is long over and the President has been in office for over three months. 2- Political books are always iffy here. 3- Photography books are even more iffy.
