If Obama Had a Son is an inspirational, nonfiction book written from the perspective of an intuitive nineteen-year-old college student. The title of the book was inspired by a riddle: What is the one thing the most powerful man in the world wishes he had; but if he had, he would have never been the most powerful man in the world? The book makes a strong implication about America’s feelings toward its sons. It also raises thoughts and questions concerning the value of procreation as it relates to the advancing of society.
