Last night, I was watching Book Talk on C-SPAN, and Shelby Steele was on talking about his book about Obama, which I haven't read. I'm not a huge fan of Steele, he is far too conservative for my tastes. But his National Book Critic Circles Award winning book, "The Content of Our Character : A New Vision of Race In America", was excellent.

Bill Moyers recently interviewed him, and you can view the interview at You Tube here:

The name of Steele's book is "A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't Win".

I might just have to read it.
