Bias?[edit]

"...was the first unbiased biography?" Really?

Isn't this rather blatantly POV? What other biographies were there, and exactly how were they biased? Mark Shaw (talk) 03:58, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The author says "unbiased"..then in the next paragraph states "...the book was generally sympathetic toward Obama". Well, which is it? 75.150.245.241 (talk) 21:46, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
