我很喜欢读奥巴马的《应许之地》（A Promised Land）。让我对美国政治和美国的国际政策有了深刻的了解，也更多地了解了白宫以及华盛顿特区周边的工作生活。
I enjoyed reading 'A Promised Land' by Barack Obama. Learned so much about American politics and America's international policies. Learned more about life at White House and around DC.

……该行业的半合法性质其实并没有触及最有趣的部分，也就是“究竟是什么促使我们的领导人从一开始就允许监控”。我最近读完了奥巴马的《应许之地》（记录了他部分总统任期），他在书中提到，尽管他曾想改革大规模监控，但一旦真要对公众的安全负责时，看待问题的角度就有些不一样了。……
…the quasi-legal nature of the industry doesn’t really get at the interesting part, which is _what motivates our leaders to allow surveillance in the first place_. I recently completed Barack Obama’s A Promised Land (a partial account of his presidency), and he mentions in his book that although he wanted to reform mass surveillance, it looked a little different once he was actually responsible for people’s safety.…
……美国人都能被假新闻误导，印度就更难有胜算了。Facebook 和 WhatsApp 在印度被极其有效地用来给大众洗脑。正如奥巴马在他的新书《应许之地》中描述的那样，像印度这样多民族、多宗教的贫穷国家，民主能存活下来的概率充其量是岌岌可危的。BJP 和 RSS 基本上彻底扼杀了印度的民主。
…people in US can be misled by fake news, India stood little chance. Facebook and WhatsApp have been used effectively to brainwash the general public in India. As Barack Obama described in his new book 'Promised Land', the chances of democracy surviving in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious poor country like India was precarious at best. BJP and RSS has effectively made sure that democracy dies in India
……因为每个当事人都只能讲述自己看到的那一面，而我还没聪明到能把所有线索串起来。奥巴马曾承诺关闭关塔那摩湾拘留营。我一直很想知道为什么没能实现。他的《应许之地》一书列出了一些挑战，但却让我有了更多的疑问。我的结论是：当一个烂摊子是靠无视规则搞出来的时候，想循规蹈矩地去收拾它几乎是不可能的。……
…because every actor can only tell their own facet, and I'm not smart enough to connect the dots. Obama promised to end Guantánamo Bay's detentions. I've long wanted to know why that didn't happen. His book Promised Land lists some of the challenges, but left me with more questions. My takeaway is that a cleanup effort that tries to follow the rules is all but impossible when the mess was created by ignoring the rules.…
“为了说明电子书借阅的经济账，纽约公共图书馆（N.Y.P.L.）向我提供了他们 2021 年 1 月的数据，针对的是企鹅兰登书屋几个月前出版的奥巴马回忆录《应许之地》。截至当时，该图书馆系统购买了 310 份永久有声书授权，价格为……
"To illustrate the economics of e-book lending, the N.Y.P.L. sent me its January, 2021, figures for “A Promised Land,” the memoir by Barack Obama that had been published a few months earlier by Penguin Random House. At that point, the library system had purchased three hundred and ten perpetual audiobook licenses at…
