That's an English Lit 101 concept. Why don't you get it?
And again I ask, why should I give two ****s about what Obama's father dreamed of? You're trying to draw a connection that does not exist.

So you're telling me one word in the title of the book is more relevant than the actual content of the book?

The professor would like to see you after class.

The two are not different. The title describes the book.

But you didn't comprehend what you read.

You've already implied you don't understand the difference between "of" and "from."

Yes, and I've heard his interviews here on Chicago radio.

Why not? I live in the Chicago suburbs. I've known (and worked with, in the ILGA) Obama before most of you ever even heard about him.
