There are juicy quotes in this, but also very repetitive speeches. Interesting though to dive into the American politics.

[María de los Ángeles Lima · Rating 5 out of 5]

One thing is to run for elections, but there is a huge difference in a President who just wants to control all and the one who loves their country.
It's impossible not to love him or his words.
His speeches are not only heart touching, but very reflexive and unique.
I highly recommend. A must read if you are a bookworm just like me :)
